“Together we do better”
Rigby, K. (2001)
Bond, L. Et al (2001)
`
• The 1 in 6 is an average based on a sample of over 38,000 Australian children aged 7 to 18.
It is also worth pointing out that many children who report being bullied also say that they are
not "bothered" by it.
• They could be experiencing not very severe bullying or wish to deny effects or are particularly
resilient. If we adjust the figure of 1 in 6 to take into account those who say they are not
bothered, we can say that on average 1 child in 10 is bullied weekly AND is bothered by it.
• Centre for Adolescent Health: Surveyed 2680 year 8 and 9 students across Victoria, twice
in year 8 and once in year 9.
• Fifty one percent reported being teased, having rumours spread about them, being deliberately
excluded or experiencing physical threats or violence. Up to 30% of all students with
symptoms of depression, was attributed to a history of victimisation (twice as many girls as
boys).
