The researchers used the descriptive analytical method of research for this is the most appropriate means of
evaluating the effects of bullying among children and its implication to Behavior

together with the letter asking permission from the respondents to be part of the study as well as the Teacher’s
approval in conducting this study and in the distribution of the questionnaire to the respondents.

Research Instruments
A Research-made Questionnaire was created to conduct a Survey and Gather Information and Data, it is the main and
