| Almost all of the studies found connections between being bullied and suicidal thoughts among children. Five different studies reported that bullying victims were two to nine times more likely to report suicidal thoughts than other children, depending on the severity of the crime.
It was also found that: "The perpetrators who are the bullies also have an increased risk for suicidal behaviors.” Suicide among bullied victims has increased at an alarming rate over the past ten years.
