Bullying survey shows Kentucky students at risk



Statistics from the Kentucky Department of Education show that bullying is still a real threat in Kentucky school systems.

A recent report, which the state collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to complete, showed that over 40 percent of all middle school students still experience bullying to some degree. The number is somewhat lower for high school students, at around 20 percent.

Around 20 percent of middle school and high school students reported having been electronically bullied.

The extensive survey covered many aspects of dangerous behavior for students in Kentucky schools. For a full listing of all statistics, click here.

  1. Make lead more personal rather than straight news report. Add more detail and interpretation into story. Don't end story with a lead up to a link. Rather imbed that link into the story. Use more sources for story.
