I recently did a presentation about bullying. I did a lot of research on the topic and found many startling statistics. According to MBNBD, 1 in 7 students in grades K-12 are a bully or a victim of bullying. Also, approximately 160,000 students miss school every day due to fear of attack. And last, 1 in 10 students drop out of school because of repeated bullying. These are really sad statistics and they need to be changed for the better.
When I was in my first grade year, I was bullied by a boy several years older than I. He was intimidating and abused people verbally. I let it go on for a long time and it didn’t stop until he left the school because I didn’t know how to stop it or who to tell about it.
