Young People in 2004 Survey
Interesting (and disturbing) survey in the Times relating to the "Young People in 2004" survey. I've been unable to find the report but the article can be found here.
"More than a third of girls aged 10 and 11 admitted that they were sometimes afraid of going to primary school because of bullying. A quarter of primary pupils said that they had been bullied often or daily in the past month.
Nearly 60 per cent of girls aged 14 and 15 were unhappy with their weight, as were more than half of 12 and 13-year-olds. Between a quarter and a third of boys said that they wanted to be slimmer"
