Impact of Bullying Report 2014

England. Anybody who's ever experienced bullying knows that it's not just something that affects you while it's happening: the damage to your self-confidence and trust in other people can go on well into adulthood too. Oxford Open Learning Trust recently commissioned a survey to get a better idea of the scale of bullying at school and its long-term effects on people, particularly their self-esteem and careers.

The survey asked 2,305 people aged 18 and above about their experiences with bullying and how it has affected their lives. The first result is perhaps the most surprising: more than half of the respondents were bullied at school at least once, and just over two in five were bullied on more than one occasion. Additionally, men were slightly more likely to say they had been bullied than women.
