Adults National Bullying Survey 2006 results

Written by Liz Carnell

We receive many complaints from adults who were bullied as children and who are still suffering the effects.

A total of 1,323 adults who said they had been bullied at school took part in the survey. The largest number 36% were aged 21-30 and we had 2% of replies from people aged over 60.

78% of the adults had been bullied at school more than five times.

There are clearly long term effects on school bullying victims when 20% reported loss of confidence after their ordeal ended, 13% said it affected relationships, and 7% said it affected their job prospects. 9% said they had been suicidal and 8% said they had received medical treatment for mental health problems.
