Student cyberbullying is growing, report says

Online bullying is on the rise among middle and high school students, even as overall rates of bullying in schools have remained steady, according to a new federal report.

One out of five students between ages 12 and 18 were bullied during the 2016-2017 school year, according to the report from the National Center for Education Statistics, the research arm of the Education Department. Among those students who faced bullying, 15% said they were bullied online or by text, a 3.5 percentage-point jump from the 2014-2015 school year.
