Bullying victimization occurs when a person is exposed to aggressive behaviors repeatedly over time by one or more people and is unable to defend themself. Bullying victimization during childhood and adolescence has life-long consequences and is a public health issue of national concern. Previous research shows being bullied is associated with long-term psychological impact to well-being and poor mental health outcomes. Using data from the July 2021-December 2023 National Health Interview Survey--Teen (NHIS-Teen), this report describes the percentage of teenagers (ages 12-17) who self-reported that they experienced bullying victimization (referred to as ever being bullied) in the past 12 months, by selected characteristics.
