"Overall, we're trying to paint an updated, accurate picture of what teens these days are facing across our nation so as to underscore the critical importance of devoting additional resources and attention to this persistent problem, and inform schools exactly what they should focus on," said Hinduja. Hinduja believes schools must prioritize the development of this internal social competency so that kids learn to navigate and productively handle whatever life throws at them. Students with the highest levels of resiliencies indicated that bullying - when it happened - did not impact them very much at all. Among those middle and high school students who had the lowest levels of resilience, their ability to learn and feel safe at school was negatively affected many times. However, a child's level of resilience - their ability to "bounce back" or "overcome adversity" - was a significant differentiator. The study also found that nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of the students who experienced cyberbullying stated that it really affected their ability to learn and feel safe at school.
What causes or induces someone to be harassing or cruel at school also causes them to act in the same ways online. What makes someone an attractive target at school makes them similarly vulnerable online. Hinduja and Patchin note that it is very likely that the causes and correlates of bullying influence behaviors and experiences across environments. "For example, 83 percent of the students who had been cyberbullied within the last 30 days also had been bullied at school recently, and 69 percent of the students who admitted to bullying others at school also bullied others online." "We have long known that there is a significant overlap between school and online bullying," said Hinduja.
Among those who were bullied recently, 88 percent said they were called mean names or were made fun of in a hurtful way 77 percent said they were excluded from groups or left out of things.
73 percent of students reported that they had been bullied at school at some point in their lifetime 44 percent said that it had happened in the last 30 days.This most recent study of middle and high school students found that when it came to school bullying: They have conducted numerous formal surveys of teens, educators, law enforcement, and parents over the last decade across more than 20,000 respondents. Patchin, Ph.D., a professor of criminal justice at UW-EC and co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center, spearheaded this latest study.
