The risk of being bullied is a bit higher during transitions from elementary to middle to high school. Symptoms you may see since school started could include aggression, symptoms of withdrawal, and lower grades than usual. Only one in ten victims will inform an adult about abuse from a bully, primarily because a fear of retaliation. Feeling embarrassed or ashamed of being "the one" the bully has decided to target also contributes to denial. The self-talk script is, "There must be something wrong with me if I am the target." Girls are twice as likely as boys to be victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying. Also, survey research indicates 25% of students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, or questioning their sexual identity have experienced harassment at school or online.
