What percentage of teens are bullied?

Answer 1

According to recent research it is estimated that 30-43 % or over 5.7 million are involved in school bullying as either a bully, a target of bully, or both. A recent national survey of students from grades 6 -10 grades showed 13% reported bullying others, 11% reported being the target of bullies, and other 6% said they bullied others and were bullied as well. Limited available data suggest that teen bullying is much more common among younger teens than older teens. As teens grow they are less likely to bully others or be targets of bullies. School bullying occurs more among boys and girls and boys are more likely to report being hit, slapped, or pushed. Girls are more often the targets of rumors or sexual comments. While teen boys target both boys and girls, girls most often target girls.

Answer 2

It is estimated that about 20% of teens experience bullying at some point during their adolescence. This can include various forms such as verbal, physical, or cyberbullying. It's important for schools and communities to address and prevent bullying to ensure the well-being of all teenagers.
