According to the NSPCC, in 2010-11 there were more than 30,400 calls to Childline about bullying. It is the main reason why boys contact the charity.
National figures collated by the NSPCC show that almost half of all children say they have been bullied at school and 38% have been affected by cyber bullying.
Worryingly, 18% of young people say they wouldn’t tell their parents what was happening to them.
Sadly, nearly 40% of disabled children say they are worried about being bullied because of their disability.
