Bullying Statistics Research

BullyingStatistics

Throughout this website that is dedicated to the research of bullying statistics, I found many interesting facts that I thought would be interesting to read more about.

1) When people think about bullying, I think you would agree with me that people mainly think about kids in school being bullied.  The stereotypical kid who is being bullied is most likely a nerd or someone who isn't a jock.  But, there are many different types of bullies.  You don't have to be a kid to be bullied.  There are child bullying, adult bullying, teenagers, teachers, and one other interesting thing I thought about while people were critiquing my video was that athletes could be bullied also by their parents.

2) With regards to my PSA video and my research on bullying and suicides, I found on this website (see above "BullyingStatistics") that "Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University."  My PSA video, it shows that this male is contemplating about suicide because it is very common in victims to where those thoughts go through their minds sadly.

3) Ever had to stand in a corner in school because your teacher told you so?  Research have now shown that teachers may also fall under the category of bullying and they didn't even know it.  But, not only could they be bullies, they also can be found as a victim which is crazy to think about.  The research says that "Vandalism, such as keying cars and causing flat tires, and theft of teachers' property, as well as verbal abuse are other ways in which students abuse teachers."  In past years, people probably didn't think much of it but nowadays, anything can be considered news and if it gets out to the public then it causes discussion which is what I can see nowadays because teachers can easily tell their stories to the media if they are being bullied.
