Tennessee ranks low on a list of states with the biggest bullying problems, according to a study from WalletHub .

WalletHub pulled information from the Centers for Disease Control's 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System. According to that report, 19 percent of students in grades 9-12 said they were bulled on school property in the previous 12 months.

Based on 20 key metrics, such as "bullying-incident rate" to "truancy costs for schools," WalletHub measured which states have the worst problem with bullying in schools.

According to the data, Louisiana comes in at number one. Massachusetts comes in last.

Tennessee is fairly low on the list, sitting at 33.
