Study gives insight into bullying
Posted: 5/11/2011
If you're a parent of a Minnesota student, there's more than a 50 percent chance your child has been bullied — or bullied another student — at least once.
Thousands of students have been involved with bullying much more than just once, according to a new analysis by the Minnesota Departments of Health and Education.
The study, which examined data from last year's Minnesota Student Survey of more than 130,000 students, found that 13 percent reported being bullied regularly, once a week or more. If that held for the state's entire student population, it would mean more than 100,000 students in Minnesota are bullied on a regular basis.
The study found that 9 percent of students reported they had bullied others on a regular basis and another 3 percent reported being both a bully and a victim at least once a week.
Blood Is Thicker Than Water: Bullying Prevention and Intervention

Blogger, Susan Raisch, shares her thoughts in “Blood Is Thicker Than Water: Bullying Prevention and Intervention” which features the Miland Family, who recently attended the White House Summit on Bullying Prevention. She writes “The role of the sibling is so powerful. A caring sibling can make all the difference and is one of the roles that doesn't get enough attention. Siblings are often better positioned to understand the subtleties of bullying. If they are compassionate, they can be confidantes and allies. Maybe they aren't on the scene when bullying happens, but they may be that one person that makes the target feel ok about themselves.”
