According to the National Bullying Prevention Center and research done by the National Center for Educational Statistics, 20 per cent of students report being bullied. To give you a clear image of what that looks like, that means a little more than one out of every five children has been or is being bullied. According to the website, "33 percent of students who reported being bullied at school indicated that they were bullied at least once or twice a month during the school year," and "13 percent were made fun of, called names, or insulted; 12 percent were the subject of rumours; 5 percent were pushed, shoved, tripped, or spit on; and 5 percent were excluded from activities on purpose."Over one-fifth of school children experience bullying, which is 100 percent too many. Help prevent bullying by donating now and joining our live stream on the 13th of July. Of the more than 11,000 14-year-olds surveyed in the Millenium Cohort Study, 16% reported they had self-harmed in the last year. Based on these figures, nearly 110,000 children aged 14 may have self-harmed across the UK in the same 12-month period. People are being bullied for just being themselves, for being attracted to both genders or the same gender, which we think is disgraceful.
