Introduce your chosen topic and justify why it is important to address it (you may use statistical data to emphasise the importance of this issue; start at the global level then narrow it down to a specific country/region); b. Identify factors impacting your chosen health issue. 2. Describe and justify your target audience (who is the most affected by this issue and why); 3. Identify any previous attempts to address your chosen health issue and discuss its effectiveness (e.g. policy, advocacy, health promotion interventions etc). 4. Referencing: minimum requirement ≥10 recent academic resources.

All the countries in the world are constantly trying to control bullying at school. One of the disturbing facts about bullying is that it often accompanied by violence (2). Bullying at school has very poor impact on the growth and development of the children who are bullied. It also resulted in development of the negative personality of the children who bullied others. It has been seen that around 1 in every 4 students get bullied. According to UNICEF, 32% of boys and 28% of girls get bullied in schools every year (3). In Australia, from Year 4 to Year 9, around 27% of students suffered from bullying, it increases up to 32% in year 5 and 29% in year 8. It has been seen that 83% of student bullied another person. There is average of 1.2% are bullied in primary school and 9.1% per 100 students bullied in high school (4).
