Cyberbullying would many victims among adolescents, but few of them tell their parents, a new study published in the United States.
According to psychologists at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), three in four students reported having been victims of cyberbullying in the last twelve months, but only one in ten students has notified her parents.
The study reveals that over 40% of 1454 respondents, all aged between 12 and 17 years were victims of cyberbullying between one and three times during the past year, while 13% were attacked between four and six times. Nearly one in five students said the victim was more than seven times assaults on the Web in the last twelve months.
Among the young victims of bullying, 85% of them reported having been bullied at school, the researchers continue. Nearly three quarters of these young people told researchers they knew who were the protagonists of these acts. But many young victims of bullying reported researchers that they did not know that other children suffered the same fate themselves.
The researchers conclude their study by stressing that parents should discuss cyber bullying with their children before they go to school, to warn them that this phenomenon exists and is not taboo to to talk about. They also suggest parents pay attention to sudden changes in the behavior of their children as well as the emergence of diseases like headache.
