I don’t believe it. There’s no way a quarter of all students are getting bullied in Finland. I’m going to assume light teasing is count as bullying, otherwise it’s impossible.
*Obviously the reported rate would be different from the real rate. What I mean is that I don’t believe that this represents reality.

Ukrainians are getting bullied because their mum and sisters are OF creators

I am not surprised about Lithuania. Verbal abuse is such an entertaining cultural phenomenon even among grownups

Whats going on in Latvia and especially Lithuania? Half of middle schoolers are being tormented at school?

Bullying is so advanced in Lithuania we’re actually losing teachers over it

Spanish people you are supercool, but if you could add more ajillo in gambas al ajillo you’d be perfect.

Nice, another metric to calculate how shitty a country is or not.

Bullying happens everywhere for good reason. It’s called evolutionary biology.

Data for 2017-2018. Can confirm about Lithuania although ai heard it is a lot better nowadays by comparison

I don’t know why but bullying has increased in Turkish schools in the last decade, and it is now seen as something “cool” on the Turkish internet. We didn’t have such a culture back then.

Well that explains why Lithuania’s suicide rate is so high.

So now when eastern Europe is higher then west we’re gonna blame that east “over” reporting? Or now stats are ok because they fit the narration?

I think given the nature of this type of data collection, highly subjective definitions, self reported nature, timeframes and so, while this is probably the best attempt to measure bullying, one shouldn’t overly subscribe into these data points as highly credible.
That said, I can totally see the UK being a country where bullying is much higher than the average, what with its “just banter mate”, “lads lads lads” and highly class-sensitive society.

Lithuania also has the highest suicide rate in Europe, it’s really sad when you look at statistics like this.

I was bullied in France 22 years ago, I was 12 years old. I reported the situation to my parents and the “principal du collège” . Then, we had a meeting with my parents, the principal and the bully, we explained that the situation needs to stop, otherwise the bully will be punished. The bully just stopped to bully me after this meeting, and even though we weren’t friends, I was happy that we allowed him to change his behaviour without needing to punish him.

How does Lithuanian bullying work? Isn’t it supposed to be a majority of the class bullying a few weaklings? If half the class is bullied then it is a civil war xd

I’d never have reported being bullied in school , ppl would just eat you if you did , however a good kick to the face in the changing room does get people to back off, no consequence of course because no one once again is going to say shit unless they want everyone against them , kinda feels like mafia now I think about it

No schools in Belarus, Montenegro and Kosovo. So also no bullying at school!

I lived for some time in the UK before moving to Italy. So, I went to high school both in the UK and in Italy and this seems about right. I used to get bullied constantly in the UK. When I moved to Italy, this wasn’t the case anymore

Italy should show 100%
Naive-Accountant-262 on
Oh wow in Spain only 11%
I love this country even more.
Damn, when I could find a way to work remote I would do that there

This is not true guys, I make sure they don’t report. Don’t fall for this.

whats up with lithuania?
Current_Silver_5416 on
That 11% for Spain only means kids here know better than to try and get teachers to do anything about bullying.

Being lithuanian this doesnt surprise me at all. Theres such a bullying culture in Lithuania. Literally no one is safe from it. Sad situation overall.

I’m Spanish and I was bullied in primary school. I reported it and nothing happened at all. It’s just my experience but I doubt I’m the only one.
In the recent years a few victims that had reported abuse died from suicide. This is a topic that should firmly sit in the to-do list of the ministry of education.

Jesus christ. Imagine being born in Moldova and then also get bullied 💀 like the first thing wasn’t enough

It’s probably because of the ‘banter’ culture in the UK which some kids (and honestly adults too) use as cover to cross the line.

I would have concerns over how standardised these are between countries. Is what a person from Spain regards as bullying (or regards strongly enough to report it) the same as Lithuania.
There is certainly a lot that went on against me when I was at school to me that under current UK views would be regarded as bullying, but I certainly didn’t regard it as such at the time (basically anything short of being ambushed and beaten up regularly I didn’t recognise as bullying)
