Bullying

Bullying was such a huge problem a couple of years back but due to the attention it has gotten today, it has finally calmed down.

Perhaps in some places it has, but as a whole it has not while looking at our currently available data. Suicide is still the leading cause of death for teenagers, and British studies have suggested that at least 50% of suicides have some influence by bullying. Although the most recent data by the CDC is 4 years old, we also know that in 2010 the suicide rate for teenagers was increasing in both the ≤ 14 years and the 15-24 age groups.

Without more current data from the CDC we can not determine if the effects of bullying are slowing, so we can not determine if the act of bullying is becoming less present.
