Understanding and Addressing Bullying in the UK: Statistics and Types

In the UK, a significant number of children face bullying, with 68% reporting they have been bullied and 87% of parents confirming their child experienced bullying in the past year. Alarmingly, 20% report engaging in bullying behavior themselves. With 20 young people committing suicide annually due to bullying and many suffering physical harm, it's crucial to understand what bullying is. Bullying can manifest in four main forms: physical, verbal, emotional, and cyberbullying. Awareness and intervention are key to combating this issue.
