Bullying impacts children of all ages. According to the National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice Statistics, up to a third of students in the United States report being bullied at school. Additionally, in an increasingly digital age, cyberbullying has become a significant problem.
Bullying can have long-lasting, detrimental effects on a child's mental and physical health. A child who is bullied is more likely to experience depression and anxiety, decreased academic achievement, substance abuse, and suicide.
Bullying prevention starts with you. Be kind to others and be proactive in shifting the prevalence of bullying in our schools and communities. Bullying is a behavioral style that must be – and can be – addressed through education and support.

We encourage families, students, schools, organizations, and other groups to become better informed about bullying issues. With the Utah Parent Center (UPC) and our sister organization, the PACER Center, we work to prevent bullying in several ways. You can read and become informed about bullying, its impact, and strategies for prevention and remediating the effects. Engage in conversations at your child's school to better understand what is happening to prevent bullying and address it when it occurs.

Bullying is commonly understood as aggressive behavior that (a) is intended to cause distress and harm, (b) exists in a relationship in which there is an imbalance of power and strength, and (c) is repeated over time.
Bullying may involve physical actions, words, gestures, and social isolation. Although bullying may involve direct, relatively open attacks against a victim, bullying is frequently indirect or subtle (spreading rumors, enlisting a friend to assault a child).
The overall goal of bullying prevention and intervention is to provide every student with a safe and supportive school and social environment. For more information on how to prevent bullying, who is at risk, how to respond, and how to get help now, please visit the Utah State Board of Education website as soon as possible.
