thank tyou for the awesome facts. i am using them for my school bullying project. i am very astonished by these facts!
i know how big bullying is a problem. i have had to deal with it for most of my life. these statics dont surprise me at all
im also using them for my project!
I appreciated your article re: truth and society’s conditioning to masking
the masses.. We are penalized in our so-called system-of -just ‘ice’ when the truth unveils the traps laid for unwealthy humans..
u should do a story showing how bullying effected an adults life after they had survived bullying for their entire school career
thank you very much i an using these facts for my bullying project too… i am well aware of all this going on and we and making a bullying awareness group at my school.
im using these stats for my english paper on bullying thanks for posting!! p.s. its sad to see that teachers arent helping very much!
Here is a suggestion. There are no footnotes or attributions for most of these statistics. It would be helpful to know where they come from, when were they published and what group (kids, teens, adults) they are concerned with. It is not enough to assert a statistic. You gain credibility if you are quoting a reliable source. Just trying to help.
Thank you for the statistics, do you have the original sources? The sources for those statistics would be really helpful.
I’m using these statistics for a video. Thank you so much!

thankyou for this information as i have a school project and was looking all over and i was about to give up then i saw this
Thank you so much for this information. I’m using it for part of my middle school project on bullying. It’s really sad how little the teachers notice what’s going on.
Estoy muy de acuerdo con sus estadística son reales y pertinentes, el “Bullying” se esta transformando en el centro e inicio de los futuros agresores del país. En Puerto Rico el “Bullying” se esta enmarcando en uno de los actos más violentos reflejados en los planteles escolares. Y es de suma importancia que los/las Trabajadores/as Sociales como los diferentes profeciones no nos quedemos de brazos cruzados.

im using these for my paper,and these facts are just astonishing. I can honestly believe everything these facts say, after i was bullied in 7th grade. Now im in 8th grade but those memories still stay with me. Bullies really need to realize that their not only destroying their future, their destroying the victims to some extent.

thank you I’m using these statistics for project they came in handy.
I can attest to the toll it took on my child and our family. Tragically, the bully was a teacher. The effects of post-tramatic stress have become our norm and the teacher is still in a classroom.

Iv’e been bullied in the past and honestly the only thing that made it stop was to stand up to them and make them understand that what their doing isn’t right and that it hurts not only the person getting bullied but others around the situation. HELP stop bullying.. its COOLER then being one.!!

Kevin u shldnt be proud that youre a bully u shld be ashamed of yourself. Bullies are mean, rude and nasty to people just to feel good about themselves and you know what its a very horrible and disgusting thing that youre doing. So the next time you are about to bully someone put yourself in their shoes and see how you like it. You immatature arrogant brazen bafooon. And you know what im only fourteen and I know that you are wrong sooo get a life creep and stop messing with innocent peoples.
