Nearly half of 14-year-olds in England have experienced some sort of bullying, a study of 10,000 teenagers for the government suggests. Name calling and cyberbullying – where the victim faces threats and insults via mobile phones and the internet – were the most common forms. After these came being threatened with violence, being excluded by friends and facing real violence. The study did not say if the bullying had taken place once or more often.
