Quarter of 7-year-olds worried about bullying

One-in-four seven-year-olds is concerned about bullying, but researchers found the fear fades considerably with age.

However, girls are almost twice as likely as boys to worry about the problems associated with bullying.

Across a survey of 2,228 children aged seven to 15, almost one-in-10 girls and just over 5% of boys expressed a fear of bullying.
