     Recent research highlights the role ofpeer victimization in students'
     adjustment across a variety of domains (e.g., academic, social),
     but less often identifies potential mediating variables. In the cur-
     rent study, we tested for direct effects from peer victimization to
     adolescents' academic behavior and alcohol use, as well as indi-
     rect effects through school belonging. Adolescents from two large
     samples (middle school N = 2,808; high school: N = 6,821) self-re-
     ported on peer victimization, school belonging, academic outcomes
     (GPA, school truancy), and alcohol use (lifetime, past 30 days).
     Two-group structural equation models revealed (a) direct and
     indirect paths from peer victimization to academicfunctioning; (b)
     indirect, but not direct, effects through school belonging for lifetime
