As a child I don't remember hearing a lot in the media about bullying. Maybe this was because I was young or maybe it just wasn't talked about a lot. From the age of around 8 until I was 15 I suffered from bullying at school. It was a horrible experience and one I thought I was going through on my own. Every day I dreaded school and I found my self loosing my self confidence and suffering at my school work.
Now day's it seems that with the technology growing so has the ways of bullying. Children are attacked through social sites and text messages meaning that even when they are not at school they are unable to escape their bullies.
Statistics on bullying collated from government reports and research show.
- 38% of young people have been affected by cyber-bullying.
- 31,599 children called ChildLine in 2011/12 about bullying.
