According to a 2008 survey in England, 29% of students reported being bullied in school in the previous 12 months, with 23% bullied most days and 11% every day. Out of school, 21% were bullied, with a quarter bullied in the previous four weeks. The survey also found that over one in five 17-year-olds had been threatened or had force used against them in the past year, and females reported more verbal bullying while males experienced more threats or violence.
