According to an April 16, 2007 article, results from a survey conducted by California's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and the Stanford University School of Medicine indicate that bullying is common in elementary schools. Of the 270 3rd- through 6th-grade students participating in the study, 60% said they have participated in bullying and 90% said they have been bullied. For purposes of the survey, bullying could be either direct (physical threat) or indirect (mental or emotional threat) in nature.
