“…Bullying victimization is a major global public health problem among adolescents that has been linked to a number of behavioral and emotional problems including anxiety (Cohen and Kendall, 2015), depression (Cole et al, 2014;Hamilton et al, 2016), loneliness (Campbell, 2013;Murphy et al, 2015;Storch and Masia-Warner, 2004), social withdrawal (Dill et al, 2004;Runions and Shaw, 2013), low self-esteem (Fredstrom et al, 2011;Jones et al, 2014;Tsaousis, 2016), as well as poor psychosocial adjustment (Nansel et al, 2001).
