Bullying remains to be one of the key issues that can have serious negative consequences for students while they are in school and most probably, if left unresolved, throughout their lives. Bullies make daily life stressful and miserable for the victims. In most reports (i.e. Kids Health.Org, National Crime Prevention Council, National Library of Medicine), it is stated that nearly half of school children or students said they had been bullied.
