Bullying is a pervasive public health problem requiring comprehensive solutions. Multiple studies have documented the association between substance use, poor academic achievement, mental health problems and bullying. A small but growing body of research shows associations between violent family encounters and being bullied, bullying, and being a bully-victim (both victim and perpetrator of bullying).
Other facts:
· The percentage of victims is greater than the percentage of bullies and bully-victims;
· Boys were more apt than girls to be bullies, and girls were more likely than boys to be victims of bullying;
· Bully-victims were also more than 3 times as likely to report seriously considering suicide, and intentionally injuring themselves.
