(CNN) Bullying is many things: teasing, name-calling, stereotyping, fighting, exclusion, spreading rumors, public shaming and aggressive intimidation. It can be in real life (IRL) or online.

During the 2017-18 school year, 7 in 50 public high school students across California said they'd experienced bullying or harassment because of their race, ethnicity or national origin over the previous 12 months, a U.S. News & World Report analysis found.

The analysis used data from the California Healthy Kids Survey, an anonymous survey of school safety and student wellness managed by the state's education department and administered at grades five, seven, nine and 11.

About 7% of students across the state said they experienced bias-related bullying based on their religion, while 6% reported the same based on their actual or perceived immigrant status, according to the analysis.

The report also showed that students who said they'd been bullied because of their race, ethnicity or nationality were twice as likely to have smoked cigarettes, and their drinking rates were higher: Four out of 10 bullied students used alcohol within the previous 12 months, compared with 3 out of 10 non-bullied students.
