Kids are physically bullied in and out of school. About 3.2 million students are bullied every year which is a staggering number. This can lead to depression, ditching school and even suicide. Forms of bullying can include discrimination (against a certain race, sexual orientation, etc), physical harm, teasing, and spreading rumors. 67 percent of students think that schools don't handle bullying in an effective way and therefore, are reluctant to seek help from the school. Punishing the bully may not always stop the bullying as this will most likely anger them more and create more hatred toward the victim (dosomething).

Cyber bullying is more serious than you may think. 25 percent of all teenagers have experienced cyberbullying at some point in their lives. Cyberbullying is known to affect teenagers more than physical bullying. 28% of teens who were cyber bullied considered suicide as opposed to 22% who were physically bullied. What's also surprising is that 85 percent of the time, the bully knows the victim in real life. Cyberbullying can cause victims to develop agoraphobia, a fear of public places that may cause panic/embarrassment. However, cyberbullying can be more easily targeted than physical bullying as everything we do online is left as a digital footprint (CNN).
