How long does bullying last?
The length of time that students are bullied varies considerably. Although approximately one-quarter (23 percent)
of bullied students indicate that the bullying lasted only one to two weeks, one-quarter (24 percent) of bullied
students also report that they have been bullied for several years or longer (see figure 11). More than half (51
percent) of bullied students report that the bullying has lasted six or more months, and an alarming 39 percent
indicate that it has lasted for one year or longer.
