Students with specific learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, emotional and behavior disorders, other health impairments, and speech or language impairments report greater rates of victimization than their peers without disabilities longitudinally and their victimization remains consistent over time ( Rose & Gage, 2016 )
When assessing specific types of disabilities, prevalence rates differ: 35.3% of students with behavioral and emotional disorders, 33.9% of students with autism, 24.3% of students with intellectual disabilities, 20.8% of students with health impairments, and 19% of students with specific learning disabilities face high levels of bullying victimization ( Rose & Espelage, 2012 )
Researchers discovered that students with disabilities were more worried about school safety and being injured or harassed by other peers compared to students without a disability ( Saylor & Leach, 2009 )
When reporting bullying youth in special education were told not to tattle almost twice as often as youth not in special education ( Davis & Nixon, 2010)
Successful strategies to prevent bullying among students with disabilities include (Rose & Monda-Amaya, 2012): Teachers and peers engaging in meaningful and appropriate social interactions
Creating opportunities to increase social competence and positive interactions
Schools adopting appropriate intervention strategies that encourage social awareness and provide individualized interventions for targets with disabilities
Bullying of Students of Color
23% of African-American students, 23% of Caucasian students, 16% of Hispanic students, and 7% of Asian students report being bullied at school ( National Center for Educational Statistics, 2019)
More than one third of adolescents reporting bullying report bias-based school bullying ( Russell, Sinclair, Poteat, & Koenig, 2012 )
Bias-based bullying is more strongly associated with compromised health than general bullying ( Russell et al., 2012 )
Race-related bullying is significantly associated with negative emotional and physical health effects ( Rosenthal et al, 2013 )
Bullying of Students Who Identify or Are Perceived as LGBTQ
70.1% of LGBTQ students were verbally bullied (e.g., called names, threatened) in the past year because of their sexual orientation and 59.1% because of their gender expression, and 53.2% based on gender ( Kosciw, Greytak, Zongrone, Clark, & Truong, 2018)
28.9% of LGBTQ students were physically bullied (e.g., pushed, shoved) in the past year because of their sexual orientation and 24.4% because of their gender expression, and 22.8% based on gender ( Kosciw et al., 2018)
48.7% of LGBTQ students experienced cyberbullying in the past year ( Kosciw et al., 2018)
59.5% of LGBTQ students feel unsafe at school because of their s
