An estimated 200 million children and youth around the world are being bullied by their classmates, according to the 2007 Kandersteg Declaration Against Bullying in Children and Youth.
Bullying is the fourth most common reason young people seek help from children’s help services.
Kids who are bullied are three times more likely to show depressive symptoms, says the Centre for Adolescent Health.
Children who were bullied were up to nine times more likely to have suicidal thoughts, say some studies.
Girls were much more likely than boys to be victims of both cyber and traditional bullying, says a recent Murdoch Children’s Research Institute study
