It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies go to make other kids a miserable school life, but a new study
suggests that classrooms are another popular place. The study, presented recently at the American Public Health
Association’s yearly meeting in Philadelphia, is based on the results of the research from more than 10,000 middle school
students who answered questions online. Of those researched, 43% said they’d been physically bullied within the last
month. A bit more than half said they had been laughed at in an unfriendly way, and half reported being called hurtful
names. About one third said groups had 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. The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who
answered said they 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 the school to
