Short introduction:
Pie of bullies
THIS SHOWS:
Based on the pie chart, the most used act
of violence is Name Calling/Insults which
takes up 80% of the chart, Shoving/Hitting
(39%), Threats/ Intimidation (38%), and so on.
As shown here, the most common violence is
usually little, intimidating acts that will either
scare or surprise their victim. Nothing extreme
quite yet. As the chart moves on, the % rate becomes lower meaning these acts are to the rare occasion.
That's when physical violence will take place. These
occurrences are not common, but do happen.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: The next time you see someone being harassed and/or violated, stand up for that
person, creating an image for the bully that his/her victim is less vulnerable. This will lessen the chances
of the bully showing up to that student again. Try It!

Listen to the facts!
According to statistics from family first aid, about 30 percent of
teenagers in the U.S. have been involved in bullying, either as a bully or as a
victim of teenage bullying. Data suggests that teenage bullying is more common
among younger teens than it is among older teens. However, it may be that young
teens are more prone to physical bullying, which is easier to identify, and that
older teens are more sophisticated in methods of bullying that are not always
exactly identified as such.
Physical bullying is more common among boys, and teenage girls often favor verbal and
emotional bullying. Indeed, while boys report that they are more likely to be involved in physical altercations, girls report that they are often the targets of nasty rumors - especially involving sexual gossip. Additionally, girls are
more likely to use exclusion as a teenage bullying technique than boys are.
It is estimated that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Source: National
Education Association.
