According to recent findings, the most common form of bullying among students in Britain is now cyber bullying. A recent study by the National Centre for Social Research shows that 47 per cent of young people report being bullied at the age of 14, and 41 per cent among 15-year-olds and down to 29 per cent among 16-year-olds.

The research, commissioned by the British government, examined bullying among some 10,000 14-16 year-old secondary school students in the UK.
