Champion Mindset
Did you know nearly 50% of students in grades 4 through 12 experienced bullying within a given month, and more than 70% of students admit to having seen bullying occur in their school.
An estimated 160,000 children miss school on any given day due to fear of bullying by other students. Every day, more than 280,000 students are physically attacked in schools and one out of ten students who drop out of school mentions repeated bullying as a factor.
Students who are bullied show less academic improvement due to a fear of standing out. As a result, teachers often identify those students as low achievers or unmotivated learners. These students may then receive less attention from teachers which only pushes them further down the academic rankings in their school.
