Roughly 1.7 children per hundred thousand commit suicide in any given year in the US (4400 total suicides is an oft cited raw number out of a population the 2010 US Census reports as 72+ million children). The correlation with bullying is not well known enough to give a more explicit answer. (The CDC's published rate of 7.3 per hundred thousand includes 10-24 year olds, which skews the number high, as the early adulthood ages 20-24, which are not considered children by any measure, are the peak time for suicide in the general population at 20.84 per hundred thousand. The 17-19 year old range accounts for another 15.9 per hundred thousand, with only the 17 year olds properly being considered children. Once 18-24 year olds are excluded, the group can be narrowed to 7-17, producing roughly 1.7 per hundred thousand. Age 7 is chosen because suicidal ideation begins to appear at this age.)
Childhood suicide is rare. The rate is less than half the overall US homicide rate which is 4.2 per hundred thousand, and more than 7 times lower than the general population suicide rate which exceeds 12.4 per hundred thousand. Even taking the CDC's rate, which includes the peak suicide ages of 20-24 and a high suicide period in the late teens, this is still just over half the general population rate.
