More in 6th and more psychological intimidationThe bullying rate goes up in the last years of Primary Education and drops in Secondary. The greatest incidence occurs in the 6th year of Primary.Studies showing data by year or age, for comparison purposes, are hard to come by. A study of English Primary schools puts the rate at 10% (Whitney&Smith 1993). Most studies combine Primary and Secondary.As we will see, psychological abuse is much more common than physical abuse in both Primary and Secondary Education, but it is harassment nonetheless.
