Content: Here's how things break down for students who reported being bullied at school: 18 percent reported they were made fun of, called names, or insulted. 18 percent reported being the subject of rumors. 6 percent reported being excluded from activities on purpose. 5 percent reported being threatened with harm. 3 percent reported others tried to make them do things they did not want to do. Gender differences
Research has found that males were both more likely than females to bully or to be victims of bullying. Physical bullying is the most common for males — being hit, slapped, or push. Females were more likely to report verbal and psychological bullying, including sexual harassment and rumor mongering. A significant bullying problem involves controlling or manipulating others by damaging or threatening to damage valued relationships.
