This fell to 41 per cent among 15-year-olds and less than a third 29 per cent among 16-year-olds.fter cyberbullying and name calling, the most common type of bullying was teenagers being threatened with violence, being excluded by their friends and facing actual violence.
Girls were more likely to be bullied than boys at the age of 14 and 15, the study showed.
The survey also showed that girls were more likely to face name-calling than boys, and to be excluded from friendships, whereas boys were more likely to have their money and possessions taken, and to face violence.
It also revealed that teenagers with a disability were more likely to be the victim of name-calling and to be excluded by others.
