School bullying is nowhere near universally consistent. It’s twice as common in the US as it is in the Netherlands for example and the difference between schools can be far more extreme.

Citation? I found:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1092217/bullying-in-euro...

https://www.pacer.org/bullying/info/stats.asp

Which suggests the rates are comparable between the US and Denmark.

I’ve seen slightly different numbers (11 v 21) for percentage of kids bullied each year, but I can just use your links:

Netherlands is 12% far to the right on the top link you just used, and it shows a huge range between countries.

The second link you used had 20.2% for the US.

PS: Did you think Netherlands and Denmark was the same country or something?

Probably mistaking Denmark for "Holland".

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. The prevalence of bullying really does vary massively from country to country, school to school and even cohort to cohort.

Given how many people were very deeply and very personally affected by it, it's amazing that nobody's discovered how and why it spreads.

I've also read it's non existent (at least violent bullying) in Thailand. But I didn't look for proper research on this.
