Content: Bullied students tend to grow up more socially anxious, with less self-esteem and require more mental health services throughout life. Only 7% of U.S. parents are worried about cyberbullying; yet 33% of teenagers have been victims of cyberbullying
Kids who are obese, gay, or have disabilities are up to 63% more likely to be bullied than other children. 1 MILLION children were harassed, threatened or subjected to other forms of cyberbullying on FACEBOOK during the past year. 86% of students said, “other kids picking on them, making fun of them or bullying them” causes teenagers to turn to lethal violence in schools. It is estimated that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Source: National Education Association.
