Bullying, a behavior that hurts, harms, or humiliates someone physically or emotionally, is a serious issue that impacts thousands of students every day. As damaging as bullying may be, there is hope! With education and awareness, bullying can be prevented at school, in neighborhoods, and online

31% of 10th graders and 23% of 12th graders reported one type of bullying. 23% of 10th graders and 15% of 12th graders reported being bullied by name calling, 14% of 10th graders and 10% of 12th graders reported being threatened with physical violence, 8% of 10th graders and 5% of 12th graders reported being physically bullied 19% of 10th graders and 15% of 12th graders reported some form of cyberbullying.
What do I do if I'm being bullied?
PBS-In The Mix provides the following list of steps you can take to protect yourself:
Don't ignore it. Don't fight back. Becoming a bully, yourself will not make the situation better. Try to not to show anger or fear. Bullies like to see that they can upset you. Calmly tell the bully to stop, or just say nothing and walk away. If the bullying continues, keep a record of the incidents to show to a parent or teacher. Tell your parents, or any other adults you trust. Telling a trusted adult about bullying is not tattling. You are not alone, Don't isolate yourself form your friends. They can support you and help you get through it

For being such an active Forum member at Teen Lounge
That is pretty high compared to schools in Italy. I have not witnessed bullying here in Illinois at the school I am at yet, but attending a Catholic Jr High I think helps rather than attending a public school.
Thank you for starting this section Joshua, and if all goes well I can meet you on Friday for the weekend!!
