excluded them to hurt their feelings. 28% said their belongings had been taken
or broken; 21% said someone had threatened to hurt them. According to the
results, two-thirds of the students said they had been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.

had missed school at least once during the school year because of fear of being
bullied, 25% said they had taken other actions, such as missing recess, not going
to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area of
