Did You Know?

Children are less likely to experience ongoing bullying if they report the victimization to an adult.

Research has shown that children who tell an adult that they are being bullied report experiencing a decrease in victimization (Yuile, Pepler & Craig, 2004). Children who do not tell an adult do not report experiencing the same decrease in victimization (Yuile, Pepler & Craig, 2004).
