1 in 4 children in Lithuania are bullied: people lack the courage to react and stop bullying
According to the HBSC 2022 survey, more than a quarter (26.9%) of our country's pupils in grades 5 to 9 experience bullying. Since 2018, the situation in Lithuanian schools has improved by just 0.9%, indicating that the scale of the problem is not decreasing. While more and more adolescents and adults recognise bullying, they lack the courage to react and stop it.
