Bullying: a severe and escalating problem
While a number of provinces have introduced tougher anti-bullying measures into the public school system and many independent schools have taken stronger preventative measures, bullying in Canadian schools continues to grow at an alarming rate. According to a 2003 Safe School Study conducted by the Canadian Public Health Association, 25-30% of students reported involvement in monthly physical bullying and 10-15% of all students reported involvement in weekly verbal bullying.
