Content: 9 percent report being bullied has taken a toll on their physical health. College
When most people think of bullying they imagine middle school or high school students being picked on. However, bullying doesn’t end with high school graduation. Bullying often continues during college. Sometimes, college students are bullied by their own professors. College students who are bullied are more likely to drink alcohol and experience interpersonal problems (such as getting into fights). Researchers have discovered instances where professors said hurtful things about a student’s character, made obscene gestures to students, ignored or neglected students, told lies or secrets to get the student in trouble, or even physically attacked students. Here’s what the research says about bullying in college: 23 percent of college students have been bullied, according to a 2015 study published in the American Journal of College Health. 18 percent of the students who were bullied said they were bullied by an instructor.
