Three out of 10 teen girls are bullied. That's according to a new survey of more than 180,000 students in grades 5 through 12 from 37 states. The survey found that an old axiom about bullying is still true: One in four students experiences bullying. But it might not be the most helpful way to think about bullying, because certain students are especially vulnerable, and need extra protection. Girls are bullied more often than boys—30 percent of girls experience it, compared with 22 percent of boys. Students who identify their gender in any other way have it worst of all, and are twice as likely as their peers to be bullied. Across all those groups, students say they were bullied most often because of their race, sexual orientation, or the way they look—ugh. When bullying has been in the news recently, it's usually because we're usually talking about the President—double ugh.
