I'm assuming you mean a regular bell peper (Green, Red, or other color). I usually don't peel them if eating them raw. But their skin will stick to the "flesh" pretty good unless their cooked. For red pepper I roast them on high heat (broil or grill skin facing heat) until almost blackened, and then the skin peels fairly easily with a small knife, the cooking this brings out the sweetness. You colud try the technique used on tomatoes and par boil and try to peel, again with a small knife.
Hope this helps.

Place peppers in a hot oven (400 °F) or broiler for 6 to 8 minutes until skins blister. Allow peppers to cool. Place in a pan and cover with a damp cloth. This will make peeling the peppers easier. After several minutes, peel each pepper.

hey thanks guys. yeah i was just talking about a regular bell pepper. i tried the boiling method like tomatos, but it seems to take about 1-1/2 to 2mins in boiling water before the skin comes off semi-easily. i'll try the broiler/blackening method next time i have an extra piece left over.
