A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and many times, to negative actions from other people and it is hard for he or she to defend themselves.

23 percent of students in grades 4-6 had been bullied "several times" or more; 20 percent had bullied others- 1998 study of 6500 students in South Carolina

11% of kids who were interviewed in Oklahoma said they tried to kill themselves before

In ten years ending in 2001, 634 people ages 10 through 18 in New Jersey, tried to kill themselves because they were being bullied

The kids are usually embarrassed or afraid to tell their parents about their troubles

Parents usually don’t give permission for kids to take classes to help them with their bullying troubles

In New Jersey, a couple of kids bullied three girls who committed suicide, was charged with murder by the government
