Bullying negatively impacts many people, as the survey found that 92% knew someone who had been bullied. Studies have linked bullying to increased risks of suicide. While some argue bullying is a normal part of growing up, most believe it should be prevented, as it is a form of harassment. Nearly all surveyed said bullying should be stopped, though only 21% think it can actually be stopped. Most also felt there is no justification for bullying behaviors. The document uses the book "Twisted" as an example where the main character experiences bullying from multiple people.
