School safety is a major concern for families living in the US. Bullying is one of the biggest safety issues that concern students and their families. Many people do not know how to recognize the signs of bullying. Creating anti-bullying resources for parents and students is an effective way to raise awareness and put an end to bullying.
Bullying can affect everyone—those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying.
Between 1 in 4 and 1 in 3 U.S. students say they have been bullied at school. Many fewer have been cyber bullied.
Most bullying happens in middle school. The most common types are verbal and social bullying.
