Youth report that they are bullying and being bullied now more than ever before. All youth are vulnerable, but those with special needs, racial/ethnic minorities, and LGBT youth are at even greater risk. The social and emotional effects of chronic bullying, including cyberbullying, can be lasting and devastating for individuals, families, and the entire community.
