A lot is written about bullying and cyberbullying. However, the facts are comparatively unclear. This is precisely why zepf has set itself the task of monitoring developments over time and providing background information that can provide a basis for assessing the prevalence of bullying and cyberbullying, as well as providing pertinent information on the development of the phenomenon over time. Some of the data provided information about the phenomenon from the perspective of parents and teachers.
