Summary:I was surprised and pleased to read an article in the June 2017 issue of Pediatrics (“10‐Year Trends in Bullying and Related Attitudes Among 4th to 12th Graders”) that reported declining prevalence of bullying in schools. This impressive work by Tracy Evian Waasdorp and colleagues surveyed an average of almost 25,000 students in elementary, middle, and high schools in Maryland every year for 10 years (2005–2014) about their experiences with bullying and related concerns. Their sampling procedures, data collection, and analytic approaches were unusually rigorous, making the results commensurately persuasive.
