Callaghan, M. & The HBSC Ireland Team (2012) Bullying others among schoolchildren in Ireland. HBSC Ireland Research Factsheet No. 9. Fact Sheet
Abstract
HBSC Ireland 2010 has found that 16.5% of schoolchildren in Ireland report having bullied others at school (22.3% of boys and 10.4% of girls), representing a decrease since 2006 (22.0%). The percentage of boys that have bullied others is highest among 15-17 year olds (24.6%). The percentage of girls bullying others is highest among 12-14 year olds (11.2%). Children who have bullied others are less likely to live with both parents, find it easy to talk to their parents or best friend or like school. They are more likely to spend four or more evenings out with friends and feel pressured by schoolwork than those who do not report bullying others. Bullying others in this factsheet refers to children who have reported taking part in bullying another student(s) at school once or more in the past couple of months.
