- 38% of young people have been affected by cyber-bullying.
- 38% of young people have been affected by cyber-bullying, with abusive emails (26%) and text messages (24%) being the most common methods.
- 28% of children did not tell anyone about the abuse.
- A survey of pupils in England estimates that 16,493 young people aged 11-15 are frequently absent from state school or home educated because of bullying.
These aren't great statistics... They are really saddening :( They show that bullying is common, that it's everywhere and that in many cases it goes unsolved. '28% of children did not tell anyone...' this 28% may not seem like a lot but it still means that there are people that have kept their problems to themselves and have not spoken about it to anyone. they feel completely alone. BUT... They don't have to be. If people just looked out for each other friends or not, and tried to stop bullying the statistics would drop rapidly. (and no I'm NOT saying that you should jump right in and act like a superhero because the odds are you will be bullied too!) But by telling someone, A Parent, Guardian Bestfriend, Brother, Sister, Grandma, Granddad... (the list can go on and on and on but you get the message) Just let them know what's happening and you will find that "a problem shared is a problem halved" :)
