• There are two sources of federally collected data on youth bullying.
• The 2014-2015 School Supplement (National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice Statistics) indicated that nationwide about 21% of students age 12-18 experienced bullying.
• The 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) indicates that, nationwide, 20% of students in grade 9-12 experienced bullying.
