*Literature Review

*“The problem of aggression and anti-social behavior in American schools is persistent and very visible. These problems are particularly persistent and acute as youngsters make the transition from childhood and primary school to adolescene and junior/middle school” (Pellegrini and Bartini 700) *“Victimization by peers has been linked to illness, school

avoidance, poor academic performance, increased fear and anxiety, and depression” (Swearer et. al. 38)* “Those anti-bullying programs that are most commonly found to

be effective implement a holistic approach…These types of programs view the school environment as a system of social relationships and networks that can be improved while aiming at changes on multiple levels concerning the entire school population. By setting bullying prevention as a main objective, the actions that are implemented aim at strengthening the relationships between the members of the school community and enhancing the feeling of security in the school environment” (Tsiantis et. al. 244)
