“…The results of the research showed that both victims and perpetrators had lower self-esteem than that of students who were not involved in cyberbullying. The results agree with the latest research by Palermiti, Servidio, Bartolo and Costabile (2017) involving children and teenagers from Italy. The relationship between low self-esteem and cyberbullying can be explained by understanding the students' motives.…”

_________________________________________________________________________________ ASBTRACT---School bullying involves a range of aggressive behaviors aimed at causing harm to a person. This phenomenon is increasing in the student population at a global level. The continued evolution of technology and the use of technological tools in everyday life have contributed to the formation of so-called cyberbullying. In particular, increased use of mobile phones, social media, easy and fast internet access and anonymity in the digital world contribute to shaping the phenomenon.

“…Almost a decade later, Lee and Shin (2017) noted a 34% prevalence of cyberbullies. Different studies reveal that there is a greater percentage of occasional cyberbullies and cybervictims than severe ones (Buelga et al 2015;Palermiti et al 2017). In spite of the studies mentioned above, one problem occurring in the scientific literature on the prevalence of cyberbullying is the lack of consensus with respect to its definition and the methodologies used for measuring cyberbullying and cybervictimization (Baldry et al 2018;Hinduja and Patchin 2014).…”

Cyberbullying is an increasingly frequent problem among adolescents, and it produces considerable social concern. Using a cross-sectional and quantitative methodology, the main objective of this study was to analyze the differences among students involved in the perpetration and victimization of cyberbullying (non-involved, occasional, and severe), in their parental communication, and feelings of affiliation with classmates. The sample consisted of 849 adolescents (51.7% boys and 48.3% girls) from 12 to 18 years old (M = 14.5; SD = 1.62). Three comparison groups of aggressors and victims of cyberbullying were formed, depending on the intensity of the intimidation: non-involved, occasional, and severe. The results of the analysis of variance indicated that adolescents involved in cyberbullying as perpetrators or victims have less open and more avoidant communication with their parents than adolescents who are not involved in cyberbullying. Additionally, victims of cyberbullying perceive lower feelings of affiliation with their classmates, whereas cyberbullies show no differences between the groups on this variable. These new results provide insight into the important role of family and peers in the prevention and eradication of the growing problem of cyberbullying.

“…Thus, in some studies, women suffer more harassment than men (Beckman et al, 2013;Connell et al, 2013;Garaigordobil & Aliri, 2013;Lee & Shin, 2017;Stewart, Drescher, Maack, Ebesutani, & Young, 2014), while in others, the opposite is the case, with men being the most victimised (Gámez-Guadix, Villa-George, & Calvete, 2014;Huang & Chou, 2010;Pelfrey & Weber, 2013;Popovic-Citic, Djuric, & Cvetkovic, 2011;Yang, Lin, & Chen, 2014). There are other examples where no differences between the sexes have been found (Coelho, Sousa, Marchante, Bras, & Romao, 2016;Fletcher et al, 2014;Palermiti, Servidio, Bartolo, & Costabile, 2017).…”

The fact that technologies have become a normal part of our lives has meant that bullying and other problems have shifted towards the virtual, hence complicating possible solutions. While before peer harassment occurred mainly at school, today Information and Communications Technology (ICT) means that children now have no place to "hide" from this problem. This and other features, like anonymity, have led many people to believe that this problem is more serious than traditional bullying. The purpose of this research was to determine the incidence of this phenomenon and its impact on students in compulsory secondary education in the Region of Murcia, specifically the prevalence of victimization and differences in relation to gender, age and academic year. One of the main results is that 49.3% of students have suffered from one or more cyberbullying behaviours. Greater victimization of females was observed in fourth of ESO and at higher ages (age ranges: 11-13; 14-15; 16-18). These results show the reality of secondary schools and the need to establish effective measures to solve this problem.
