5 Bullying: Myths vs. Facts Myth: Cyberbullies are usually people who are popular, athletic, and attractive. Fact: Cyberbullies come in all shapes and sizes. Because people who cyberbully can hide behind the anonymity, they are often physically weak and socially awkward. Often, they are the victims of traditional bullying who turn to cyberbullying to get revenge. Myth: Children rarely miss school to avoid bullying. Fact: Educators estimate that more than 160,000 students miss school each day in the U.S. because they fear being bullied or harassed by their peers, according to the publication InternetWeek. A related study has found that 7% of Canadian eighth graders have stayed home at least one day a month due to bullying (Kochenderger & Ladd). Myth: Children and youth who are bullied will almost always tell an adult. Fact: Adults are often unaware of bullying. Most studies find that only 25% - 50% of bullied children talk to an adult about the bullying.
