Peer bullying in children and adolescents has become an significant public health concern in China. The Chinese government attaches great importance to bullying prevention in primary, secondary and high schools.

This paper analyzes the impact of peer bullying on current and lifelong health of children and adolescents, and describes current status of peer bullying surveillance in children and adolescents at the national level around the world. Meanwhile, this paper calls for strengthening the intervention against peer bullying from the perspective of ecosystem reconstruction intervention, thus preventing and eradicating peer bullying in children and adolescents.
