Understanding Cyberbullying
According to a 2021 survey by the Cyberbullying Research Center, approximately 37% of young people between the ages of 12 and 17 have experienced cyberbullying at some point in their lives. The survey also found that girls are more likely than boys to experience cyberbullying. In fact, 41% of girls reported being cyberbullied, compared to 32% of boys.
Another study conducted by the Pew Research Center found that 59% of US teens have experienced some form of online harassment. This includes name-calling, physical threats, stalking, and sexual harassment. The study also found that social media is the most common platform for cyberbullying, with 68% of teens reporting that they had experienced harassment on these platforms.
It's important to note that cyberbullying can have serious consequences for victims. According to the same Cyberbullying Research Center survey, victims of cyberbullying are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. They are also more likely to skip school and have trouble sleeping. In some extreme cases, cyberbullying has even led to suicide.
