The Annual Bullying Survey 2018 published their findings, based from 9,000 young people questioned in the UK.

The research is shining a much-needed light on the current climate of bullying for young people and are calling for victims and witnesses to report bullying.

The impact of bullying on mental health shows a concerning trend, most notably amongst the LGBT+ community. A staggering 31 per cent had attempted suicide as a result of being bullied, with 51 per cent admitting to self harming.

The survey also uncovered who was doing the bullying, 59 per cent said it was from a class mate, one third (33 per cent) an ex-friend, and 29 per cent from a current friend. One in ten (9 per cent) of young people said they were bullied by a teacher and 8 per cent by a family member.
