Abstract
Olweus (1993) defined bullying as aggressive behavior that is repeated, intentional, and typically involves a disparity in power between the bully and the victim. Daniels et al. (2007) suggested that school violence, including bullying, could have harmful effects on the individual, school environment, and the surrounding community. The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance report (2012) found that 20.1 % of the students had been bullied on school property in the 12 months preceding their involvement in the survey—an alarming prevalence rate indicating the importance of this topic in our American school systems today.
