Recent research from LYNX‘s partners, Ditch the Label and Promundo, discovered that harmful masculine labels have a direct connection with bullying and a negative impact on how young people express themselves. In the UK, nearly a quarter (22%) of young adults have been the subject of bullying, with over half (57%) believing they were bullied due to their appearance and 40%, due to their interests or hobbies*. In the US, 50% of guys often think about changing their appearance to avoid bullying, 1 in 3 guys admit to bullying their peers, and 3 in 4 have been the victims of those bullies themselves.
