This report presents data on the incidence and negative outcomes associated with bullying. Primary baseline data for this indicator come from the National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence, conducted for the first time in 2008. Bullying at school has been on the rise since 2001, according to surveys by the National Center for Education Statistics. Fourteen percent of students, ages 12 through 18 reported being bullied during school in 2001, a proportion that increased to 32 percent in 2007.
