Frequently asked questions
What is bullying?
Bullying is repeated, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power.
Where does bullying happen?
Most often inside school buildings, but also on playgrounds and buses, on the way to and from school, in neighborhoods, and online. (Sources: StopBullying.gov; 2022 NCVS School Crime Supplement; 2023 CDC YRBS.)
Why do some youth bully?
Peer influence, family dynamics, emotional struggles, and schools that don't address bullying all play a part. Bullying is learned behavior, and with support it can change.
What are the effects of bullying?
Bullying is linked to depression, anxiety, falling grades, avoiding school and other harm. That's true for those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness it.
