Fort this study a survey was conducted on as much of 8,600 high school students, it was further found that bully victims are the children who are both either bullies and bullied.

The researchers recommend that there should be proper programs aiming to prevent bullying and also reducing unhealthy sexual practices. The expert, Dr. Jefry Biehler, chair of pediatrics at Miami Children's Hospital explains, “The time has come to acknowledge that bullying is a recognized health issue and that method of prevention and help for those involved are important and necessary.
