NOTE: "Violent" victimization includes serious violent crimes (rape, sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault) and simple assault. "At school" includes inside the school building, on school property, on a school bus, and on the way to and from school. Population size for students ages 12–18 was 25,811,000 in 2005. Bullying only includes victimization by other students. "Bullied at school" was measured differently beginning in 2005. In 2005, this variable was created using events that characterized the nature of the type of bullying. If students were "made fun of," "called names or insulted," "had rumors spread about them," "were threatened with harm," "were pushed, shoved, tripped or spit on," "were made to do things they did not want to do," "were purposely excluded from activities," and "suffered purposeful destruction of property," the students were defined as being bullied at school. Details may not sum to 100 percent because respondent-volunteered "don't know" responses are included in the base for the percentages listed. | |||||||||||||
