correct answer to each of the questions.
It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies go to make other kids a miserable school life,
but a new study suggests that classrooms are another popular place.

Philadelphia, is based on the results of the research from more than 10,000 middle school students who
answered questions online.

Of those researched, 43% said they’d been physically bullied within the last month. A bit more than half
said they had been laughed at in an unfriendly way, and half reported being called hurtful names. About one
third said groups had excluded them to hurt their feelings. 28% said their belongings had been taken or
broken; 21% said someone had threatened to hurt them. According to the results, two-thirds of the students
said they had been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.

The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they had missed school at least
once during the school year because of fear of being bullied, 25% said they had taken other actions, such as
missing recess, not going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area of the
school to escape from experiencing a bully. Bullies did too much to the school life.
