I’m skeptical of nearly all studies, so apologies in advance. What constitutes bullying in this study? How is the education or understanding of bullying different in each country? As in, how does informing students of what constitutes bullying affect how it is reported? Not saying that Irish teens don’t receive more bullying than other eu states, I’d imagine our population size and the fact that a lot of small towns means a deeper connection with other students and their families probably does equal to more bullying, but it’s a very broad question for all of Europe
Edit: skeptical might be the wrong word here. I work in methodologies, so I suppose critical might be a better term?
This is (claimed to be) UNICEF data from 2017/18, studied and published in 2021/22.
Must look into this more because our culture of bullying here is significant, whether it’s in school, the workplace or even at home.
I remember punching one of my bullies and then running about a kilometer back to my dad to tell him about it and then running back to finish the game of football.
Obvs not everyone’s situation and it wasn’t a golden bullet for fixing all such situations in life but it makes this kinda colour coded map seem difficult to interpret
But what is bullying to most of these lot? Like I wouldn’t be surprised if most teenagers here got their feelings hurt once and just called it bullying and I say that as a teenager myself
Seems unusually high. 29% is a fair chunk of students. 29% of a given year group are hardly bullied outsiders
