In a research study done by Yuvienco (2015), 96% of college students reported moderate to intense depression while in school. Factors that contribute to depression are academic work, family issues, and relationship problems. Bullying is also predominant in schools. According to DepEd, there are more than 1,700 cases of child abuse or bullying in schools in 2014. One for every 2 children have witnessed violence or abuse in school. Bullying poses a serious threat to a child’s mental health and well- being.
