B.Bullyingamongschoolchildreniscertainlyaveryoldphenomenon,thoughitwasnotuntiltheearly1970sthatitwasmadetheobjectofsystematicresearch.ThoughthisresearchoriginallyfocusedonScandinavia,bythe1980sbullyingamongschoolchildrenhadattractedwiderattentionincountriessuchasAustralia,Canada,Japan,theNetherlands,theUnitedKingdomandtheUnitedStates.

C.Thesurveysofmorethan150,000studentsshowthatsome15%ofpupilsinelementaryandlowersecondary/juniorhighschools,roughlycorrespondingtoages7to16,inScandinaviaareinvolvedinbully/victimproblemswithsomeregularity--eitherasbullies,victimsorboth.Approximately9%arevictims,and7%bullyotherstudentswithsomeregularity.Arelativelysmallproportion(15%-20%)ofthevictimsarethemselvesbulliesofotherpupils.Thesefiguresprobablyunderestimatetheproblem,andthereareindicationsthatthelevelofbullyinghasrisenoverthelast10--15years.Moreworrying,itisthemorefrequentandsevereformsofbullyingthathaveincreasedmost.
