Statistics show that 1 in 4 students report being bullied and that a child is bullied every 7 minutes.  Bullying behavior in schools can cause harm to students’ social and emotional well-being and be a significant barrier to learning.

 

Bullying is an intentional behavior that hurts, harms, or humiliates a student, either physically or emotionally, and can happen while at school, in the community, or online. Those bullying often have more social or physical “power,” while those targeted have difficulty stopping the behavior. The behavior is typically repeated, though it can be a one-time incident.
