Approximately 20% of students in grades 9-12 experience bullying.
Verbal bullying is the most common form, but physical bullying and cyberbullying are increasingly prevalent, affecting many students’ mental health, including anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. They are also more likely to experience low self-esteem.
Bullying is strongly linked to suicide among young people. Nearly 14% of high school students have seriously considered suicide, with bullying being a significant contributing factor.
In our workshops, we help parents recognize the signs, encourage open conversations, and establish parental control on all electronic devices.
