“…Therefore, we combined "definitely true" and "somewhat true" responses to create a dichotomous (yes/no) variable for bullying victimization, consistent with previous studies. [14][15][16] For this analysis, we excluded data on children aged ≤5 years because the bullying question was not asked for this age group. We estimated the prevalence of bullying victimization and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) among children aged 6-11 years and adolescents aged 12-17 years at the national level and for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.…”

Bullying is a serious public health issue among children and adolescents in the United States. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of bullying victimization (defined as a child being bullied, picked on, or excluded by children) in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. We used data on bullying victimization from the 2016-2017 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). We stratified the sample by age: children aged 6-11 years (n = 21 142) and adolescents aged 12-17 years (n = 29 011). We conducted bivariate analyses to determine the prevalence of bullying victimization by state for each age group. In the survey, parents/caregivers responded to a question about whether it was “definitely true,” “somewhat true,” or “not true” that their child “is being bullied, picked on, or excluded by other children.” We combined “definitely true” and “somewhat true” responses to create a dichotomous variable for bullying victimization. Parents reported 22.4% of children aged 6-11 years and 21.0% of adolescents aged 12-17 years as experiencing bullying victimization during 2016-2017. The prevalence of bullying victimization among children ranged from 16.5% in New York State to 35.9% in Wyoming and among adolescents ranged from 14.9% in Nevada to 31.6% in Montana. The prevalence of bullying victimization among children or adolescents was >30% in 7 states: Arkansas, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. These data can be used to inform state programs and policies to support bullying prevention efforts and services for children and adolescents who experience bullying. NSCH will continue to collect data on bullying victimization to track annual trends in national and state-level prevalence rates among children and adolescents.

“…Moreover, children with disabilities in inclusive educational contexts may be involved in bullying episodes, experiencing significantly higher rates of victimization than their peers without disabilities (Rose & Gage, 2017;Rose et al, 2011) because they have less social power (Malecki et al, 2020) and fewer social and communication skills necessary to avoid victimization (Guralnick, 2010;Rose & Gage, 2017), and because they are perceived as deviant from the norm group (Rose & Gage, 2017). Research has explored the elevated risk of bullying victimization in children with autism (Jackson et al, 2019), attention deficit disorder, and/or hyperactivity disorder (Fite et al, 2014;Prino et al, 2016), as well as in those affected by intellectual disabilities (Lorger et al, 2015). However, research on bullying among children with Special Education Needs (SENs) and Learning Difficulties (LDs) appears to be scarce at the present time.…”

Background Children with Special Education Needs and Learning Difficulties are at risk of being excluded, or bullied because of their impairments. Within the bullying literature, two variables have been shown to be key in terms of its predictions: student–teacher relationship and students’ social status among peers. Objective The aim of this research was to assess the association between the student–teacher relationship and students’ social status in the peer group and bullying dimensions in children with SEN, LD, and typical development. Method A total of 320 children—55 with LD, 46 with SEN, and 219 in the control group – participated in the study, with a mean age of 11.04 (SD = 1.42), and 59.7% of whom were male. The model tested showed a good fit: χ2 (40) = 102.395, p < .001, CFI = .940, RMSEA = .070 [90% CI = .054, .088]. Results Main findings show that children with SEN and LD had more difficulties in social participation and might be at higher risk of being bullied, compared with their classmates. Conclusions This study offers evidence on bullying in children with SEN and LD and its association with both relationship with teacher and students’ social status. For teachers, results highlight peculiarities and possible problems of school inclusion of children with SEN and LD. For educational researchers, findings add knowledge on literature focused on bullying in children with difficulties.

“…Adolescent bullying victimization was measured with a single question, which asked the caregiver: “During the past 12 months, how often was this child bullied, picked on, or excluded by other children?” This item has frequently been used as a means of understanding the occurrence of bullying victimization in several studies (Haegele et al, 2020; Jackson et al, 2019; Lebrun‐Harris et al, 2019). The question was rated on a five‐point scale: never (1), 1 – 2 times in the last 12 months (2), 1 – 2 times per month (3), 1 – 2 times per week (4) , and almost every day (5) .…”

Guided by the ecological systems perspective, the objective of the study was to examine whether caregivers' difficulty paying their child's health‐care bills is associated with bullying victimization directly and indirectly through the mediating mechanisms of caregivers' frustration, adolescents' internalizing problems, and social difficulty focusing on adolescents with physical disabilities. The 2019 National Survey of Children's Health dataset, which collected data on adolescents' and caregivers' demographic characteristics and health and well‐being, was used. The study sample consisted of 368 caregivers of adolescents, 12–17 years of age with physical disabilities. No direct association between caregivers' difficulty paying their child's health‐care bills and bullying victimization was found. However, caregivers' frustration and adolescents' internalizing problems were shown to have an indirect association with bullying victimization, which was mediated by difficulty making friends. In addition, adolescents' difficulty making friends was positively associated with bullying victimization. Practitioners working with adolescents with physical disabilities are encouraged to foster collaborative processes across various ecological systems of the adolescent and family to address caregivers' frustration and promote positive social and emotional development of the adolescent with physical disabilities, which can decrease their risk of bullying victimization.
