According to a study by the National Institutes of Health, many children in grades 6 through 10 have either bullied classmates or been bullied by them, sometimes online or through cell phones.
The study revealed that 53.6 percent were victims of verbal bullying, 51.4 percent of relational bullying, and 13.6 percent of "cyber-bullying" on a computer,
cell phone, or other electronic device.
