Bullying Quick Facts
About 20% of students ages 12-18 experienced bullying nationwide. (Stopbullying.gov) The most common form of bullying is not physical aggression or verbal threats and insults—it’s a behavior known as “social exclusion.” Social exclusion is a form of “relational aggression” that occurs when peers exclude a student from group activities or spread harmful rumors about that person. (Mizzou Ed Bully Prevention Lab)
