The vast majority of teens have witnessed online bullying, but say that two-thirds of their peers are mostly kind, according to new research.
Teens identified themselves as victims of bullying in 15 per cent of cases, the survey said. Nine out of ten claimed they ignored hurtful remarks on Facebook while eight out of ten said they either defended a victim or told the bully to stop. More than one in five, however, said they had joined in bullying, and eight per cent said it had caused a “physical fight”. One in four said that the experience had resulted in a “face to face argument or confrontation with someone”, and nearly the same number reported that the internet had cost them a friendship.
Approximately 13 per cent said it had either made them nervous about going to school or caused an argument with their parents.
