Where does bullying happen? Most bullying (2-3 times as much) happens at school and on the school bus to and from school (Hoover,oliver,&Hazler, 1992). Bullying also can take place when kids walk to and from school but this is not quite as common. Bullying is more likely to happen when large groups of students are supervised by a small number of adults, including during lunchtime, recess, physical education,and when kids change classes (Espelage&Asidao, 2001; Olweus, 1993) Students also report being bullied in the classroom when their teacher's attention is diverted (eg ,when the teacher turns around to write on the board or when the teacher is distracted helping other students)
