From the OBQ database, we observed that: There are fairly steady rates of bullying others—for boys and girls between 3rd and 8th grade. In high school, the percent of girls who bully declines a bit, but the percent of boys who bully increases. Luxenberg et al., 2013 Q24 ©2014 Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, U.S. Tab 1: Doc 5A

How Are Students Bullied?
How Much Do YOU Know About Bullying Quiz - OBQ Data How Are Students Bullied? 2–3 times/ month or more (Luxenberg et al., 2014) The most common form of bullying (3rd-12th grades) for both boys and girls) was verbal bullying, followed by rumor-spreading and social exclusion. Physical bullying was experienced by 8% of boys and 5% of girls, compared to about 16% who experienced verbal bullying, 13% who had rumors spread about them, and 12% who reported being socially excluded. These findings are consistent with results from the National Crime Victimization Survey (Robers et al., 2013), which found that verbal bullying and rumor spreading were the most common types of bullying experienced by year-olds in that survey.

(Similar findings have been reported by other national and international samples [Craig et al., 2009; Nansel et al., 2001]). As you can see here, 5% of girls said they had bullied others (orange + green pie pieces), whereas 7% of boys did. It is also TRUE that boys & girls use somewhat different forms of bullying.

This doesn’t mean that cyberbullying isn’t a concern. It is a concern—and educators often are frustrated to know how best to deal with this behavior that often occurs away from school but may affect students at school.

Reporting of Victimization
How Much Do YOU Know About Bullying Quiz - OBQ Data Reporting of Victimization Many children do not report bullying to school staff. Older students and boys are less likely than younger students and girls to report their victimization. 30-60% of children do not report their victimization--at least not to adults at school or their parents. Reporting varies by age & gender. Older children & boys are less likely to report victimization (Melton et al., 1998; Rivers & Smith, 1994; Whitney & Smith, 1993). Ask: Why? (Reasons listed in TG, p. 56.) One reason there is reluctance to report: lack of confidence in their teachers’ (& other school authorities’) handling of incidents & reports. Survey of US HS students: 66% of those bullied felt school personnel responded poorly to bullying incidents; only 6% felt school staff handled these problems very well (Hoover et al., 1992). ©2014 Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, U.S. Tab 1: Doc 5A

Do Students Report Being Bullied? To Whom?
How Much Do YOU Know About Bullying Quiz - OBQ Data Do Students Report Being Bullied? To Whom? 2–3 times/ month or more (Luxenberg et al., 2014) These data show percentages of bullied students who tell teachers or other adults at school, parents or guardians, siblings or friends, or no one. Answers are broken down by grade level and gender. At the green arrow, you’ll see that for boys and girls, and across all grade levels, parents are the #1 group in whom students confide about being bullied. Girls are more likely than boys to tell parents, and students—especially boys—are less likely to report bullying to a parent as they get older. A disturbingly small percentage of students tell a teacher or other adult at school if they’ve been bullied. Perhaps of most concern is the percentages—marked with the red arrow—that have told no one about being bullied. This is more likely among boys and older kids.

(Bathrooms and locker rooms are also higher for boys.) Also quite common are classrooms—25% of boys and 27% of girls are bullied in the classroom when the teacher is in the room and nearly the same when the teacher is not in the room. Approximately one in six bullied children say they have been bullied on the school bus (17% of bullied girls, 18% of bullied boys), smaller numbers on the way to and from school (12% girls and boys), and at the bus stop (6% girls, 7% boys).

Empathy For Bullied Students
How Much Do YOU Know About Bullying Quiz - OBQ Data Empathy For Bullied Students (Luxenberg et al., 2014) Vast majority feel sorry for the bullied students More girls than boys feel sorry for the bullied students More younger than older students feel sorry for the bullied students How do students feel and respond when they witness others being bullied? When asked how they feel when they see a student their age bullied at school, the vast majority—95% of elementary school girls and 89% of elementary school boys—say they “feel sorry” for them or they “feel sorry and want to help.” There are higher rates of empathy among girls and among younger students, although by high school, the vast majority--¾ of boys—still report feeling sorry for bullied students. Does this empathy translate into action? Luxenberg et al., 2014 ©2014 Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, U.S. Tab 1: Doc 5A

Watching…and Joining In Bullying
How Much Do YOU Know About Bullying Quiz - OBQ Data Watching…and Joining In Bullying (Luxenberg et al., 2014) Onlookers: “just watch” Followers: Could join in When asked what they do if they see or learn that a student their age is being bullied, a minority of students indicate that they would be disengaged onlookers—would “just watch”. Boys and older students are more likely than girls and younger students to “just watch” if bullying occurs. On the right are the percentages of boys and girls who think they could “join in” bullying a student whom they don’t like. Although very small percentages of elementary school children think they could join in bullying, by high school, 13% of girls and 22% of boys think they could join in bullying.

The good news is that 74% of girls and 69% of boys in 3rd-5th grade indicate that they try to help bullied students. These percentages fall significantly by middle school, however, where just under half say they try to help. Luxenberg et al., 2014 ©2014 Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, U.S. Tab 1: Doc 5A
