The research examines the phenomenon of domestic violence from the perspective of secondary school students and teachers in Jazan Region. The sample comprised 1,264 students, with 585 males and 679 females. Two scales were developed: one to measure family violence among students and another to assess teachers' evaluations of domestic violence. Both scales were psychometrically validated and deemed suitable for application. Using a descriptive method and statistical analysis with SPSS-28, the study found that psychological violence is the most prevalent form of domestic violence among secondary school students in Jazan Region, followed by verbal violence. Specifically, students reported experiencing command language, reprimands, criticism of their behavior, lack of attention, invasion of privacy, and unmet financial needs from their parents. Furthermore, the analysis indicated no statistically significant differences in domestic violence experiences between students from Jazan and Sebya Education Departments. However, significant gender differences were observed, with male students reporting higher levels of domestic violence than female students. Additionally, students specializing in theoretical subjects reported higher instances of domestic violence compared to those in scientific specializations. Lastly, differences were noted among the three grades of secondary school students, indicating that domestic violence experiences varied across different academic levels. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and support systems to address domestic violence in Jazan Region, particularly focusing on psychological and verbal abuse and the varying experiences of different student demographics.Â
