Report: 65% of boys experienced physical violence from peers

The "PEERS 2026" report, covering over 140,000 students aged 10–17, finds that 65% of boys experienced physical violence. Boys are more often victims of beatings, group assault or theft than girls, and less often report violence to adults. Dr Szymon Wójcik from the Foundation Giving Children Strength emphasises that boys are a particularly vulnerable group.
