Bullying is often an unfortunate part of life, especially for school-aged kids. In the U.S., about 20 percent of students ages 12 to 18 experience bullying, and 15 percent reported being bullied online or via text message, according to StopBullying.gov, a website managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
