      I’d say that these numbers need to be at least double because majority of the bullied kids isn’t willing to admit it. I was one of these kids and I probably wouldn’t confess if someone asked me to.

      I did my teenage school years in Italy, and of course there was a little bullying but rather mild. My younger brother instead moved to the States, and holy shit it’s astonishing the level of bullying that is going on over there. He didn’t have a fun relaxed school age.

      I went to school in Scotland where the phenomenon of ‘slagging’ is very strong, essentially kids verbally ripping each other to shreds, though rarely getting physical. I suppose to the outside observer, this could be regarded as ‘bullying’ but as for myself, I could give as good as I got.

      As a Lithuanian. I am not surprised by the number being so high, actually I thought it would be higher. What I am surprised by is that its reported so much. I guess that’s something.

      Well, at least no one is shooting you for making fun of other people here in Latvia, we just get along like that, we say mean shit to each other but after that we are besties

      Waay to much. I was bullied in school, and now 20+ years later, I still suffer from psychological damage from it. And yet society at large keeps treating bullying like something expected from growing up that you should just get used to.

      It also very much defend what you consider bullying. I would assume some countries would define what other consider bullying just formative experience

      Germany sounds about right. In my year of about 120 people only 2 ever got bullied, mainly for being creeps.

      Treating a single incident the same as long-term, systematic bullying is not representative.

      A lot of little things are blown out and called “bullying”, meanwhile real bullying isn’t taken care of. Heck, the news stained the image of a boy with issues for his video posted before committing suicide.

      Also, I feel like the news call bullying a new issue and overreport on those cases to cause moral panic as if school fights far worse than today didn’t happen 40 years ago.

      unfortunately people at a young age don’t realize what bullying does to people and that it might change their entire life.

      i experienced both, getting bullied which in return made me bully other people which i regret until now.

      Some kids deserve the bullying tho. In 6th grade, some guy who used to be weird to girls in 1st grade scammed some 8th grade guys. Those guys didn’t beat him, but they intimidated him enough by cornering him and throwing him into the girl’s restroom to get embarrassed by those girls. Had my personal run-in with him too in 5th grade when he wouldn’t let me exist in my peace during breaks. I managed to slap him and then he never messed my breaks again.

      Even the lowest numbers are too high. I never thought it was this bad.
      I barely saw any bullying when I was in school. Granted that was a long time ago, but I doubt much has changed.

      Maybe it was less common in rural areas or something?

      A two colors gradient for a metric that goes from 0 to 100 is quite confusing. It should have gone from white to red.

      A recent study in Poland shows that around 60% of students (primary and highschool ones, not university) report being bullied at least sometimes

      So 26%?

      I don’t believe it

    28. AconexOfficial on

      those percentages seem extremely high, especially for a 30 day window, wow.

      I remember when I was in school, most people got bullied at least once, but only sporadically and definitively not constantly. This high percentages for just a 30 day windows seems extremely worrying

      Having gone to school in Ireland and taught in schools in Italy, I definitely got the impression that kids in Italian schools were less into casual sadism as a pastime.

      Reminder that one of the first sociology studies showed that strict parents and bullying were extremely good predictors of supporting fascism in adult years

      I can’t believe spain has the lowest rating in europe. Literally every class I’ve been in through my entire education (and i moved cities multiple times) had a bullying victim.

    38. RedditIsFascistShit4 on

      Useless picture since i’m 100% sure such information is not reported to any statistics in Latvia.

      Russia always keeps showing to the “perverted” and “degenerated” West how things are done. Bravo 🤦🏻

      I think the native word used for bullying matter A LOT.

      In France we say “harcelé”, which mean harrassed. It mean it’s something that happen regulary, with one particlar target, on a long term, always from the same people (at least that’s how it’s taken officially by institutions and therefore, teachers).

      So someone being mean/violence to someone else one time or like 3 time in the year isn’t even considered as being “harcelé”.

      While in english I think, even one event is considered as bullying.
