Through the questionnaires, researchers were able to analyze whether or not the targets had certain characteristics about themselves or even if bullying altered their mental health. Although both articles help contribute to evidence-based practice, I do believe the article by Karatza, Zyga, Tziaferi, and Prezerakos (2017) was the most pertinent.

Now more than ever those words seem significantly untrue. In today’s society, bullying is a powerful epidemic in our homes, schools, and neighborhoods.
