Education Report: Fewer Kids Are Being Bullied

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A new report says fewer kids are being bullied in school.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 20 percent of students say they've been bullied. That's the lowest amount since 2005.

Cyberbullying was down, too. Less than 7 percent of students reported being cyberbullied. That's down about 2 percent from years before.

Although bullying statistics dropped across the board, girls were still being bullied more than boys.
