Bullying is not just a problem for a minority of children; it is a widespread problem that can affect the culture and climate of a whole school. According to Bullying UK’s 2006 National Bullying Survey 69% of children in the UK report being bullied 87% of parents report that their child had been bullied in the past 12 months 20% report bullying others 85% had witnessed bullying Bullying is not the same as disputes and squabbles between equals or friends – though these can and do cross the line sometimes. Bullying is an unprovoked, sustained campaign of aggression towards someone in order to hurt them for the sake of it. According to the National Bullying Survey, more than half of those who reported being bullied had been physically hurt (parents report over 71%); 34% of those physically hurt required attention from a doctor or hospital. 3% of the attacks involved a weapon.OUR BOOK FOR EVERY VISITOR TO THIS SITE FOR ONLY £2.00
