“…Sexual minorities were more likely to be bullied and 33% of the cyberbully victims never told an adult, although more victims told parents and nonschool adults than school adults. In Guangzhou China, the prevalence was even greater [18]. In this survey of 2590 students from middle school, junior high school and high school, 28% of participants reported being a cyberbully and 45% being a cybervictim in the previous six months.…”

“…More permissive parenting was noted for cybervictims, and the parents of cyberbullies had a lower level of parental competence. A similar study was conducted with 2590 students in six junior and senior high schools in China [18]. All types of cyberbullying including bullies, victims and bully-victims were studied.…”

A literature search was conducted using PubMed and PsycINFO to locate cyberbullying research that was published during the last 4 years. In this narrative review, cyberbullying research is briefl y summarized and critiqued. The review is focused on the varying defi nitions and characteristics of cyberbullies, victims and bystanders. Highly variable prevalence rates have been reported for cyberbullies, victims and bystanders as a function of age, gender, country, size of the social network and socioeconomic factors. In addition, the effects of cyberbullying are reviewed including the frequent suicide attempts along with risk factors/predictors of cyberbullying which include previous cyberbullying, excessive internet use and lack of empathy, anger, narcissism and authoritarian/permissive parenting. To refl ect the recent literature, special attention is given to the studies on victims of bullying. Research on cyberbullies and on prevention/intervention programs for bullying is extremely limited despite the increasing prevalence of bullying and the rapidly accumulating literature. Methodological limitations include the primary focus on the prevalence of bullying and on the victims of bullying. Longitudinal, multivariate studies are needed to identify profi les on risk factors for bullying that can inform prevention programs.

“…Facebook was overwhelmingly the most commonplace place for cyberbullying to occur among teens [13]. A study found that flaming or "online fight" was associated with both perpetration and victimization of cyberbullying, and increased risk of perpetration only was seen in players with online game addiction [14]. The cyberbully has a degree of anonymity and lack of adult supervision, can reach their victim(s) at any time and have the ability to affect greater audience, and damage reputation(s) which makes it more dangerous than traditional bullying [11,15].…”

Digital communication has revolutionized the way children interact and maintain social relations. However, not every tween (8-12 years) or teen (13-18 years) is able to take full advantage of digital media and may cross personal and social boundaries causing distress, mostly to their own friends at school and beyond. This results in adverse health effects for both the cyberbullying perpetrator and the victim. Articles reviewed on elementary school children and adolescents, collected from two different databases, showed that the number of elementary school kids using smartphones has more than doubled in the past few years. Given this rise, the risk of cyberbullying has also increased. Not all elementary school kids have the required media literacy to understand that their friends have equal rights in the virtual world as they do in the schoolyard. Regardless, they still carry a smartphone with data, use computers, and other electronic media to bully, embarrass, exclude, or humiliate others, often through social networking sites. Moving from tweens to teens seems to worsen the cyberbully behavior and choices, with middle school kids facing the highest cyberbullying incidents followed by high school kids and then the elementary school kids. The anonymity of cyberspace and the perceived lack of consequences seems to embolden the cyberbully. Identifying the mindset of a cyberbully and those at high risk of becoming a cyberbully can help target intervention efforts where they are needed the most and prevent cyberbullying.

“…Cyberbullying often involves sending harassing and threatening emails and instant messages, making humiliating comments about someone on a website, physically threatening and frightening someone online as well as malicious behaviour like insulting, preparing embarrassing web pages about individuals and excluding an individual in a virtual environment via ICT (Keser & Kavuk, 2015). On the other hand, besides cyberbullying behaviour is similar to traditional bullying, it is more difficult to escape and hide from cyberbullying attacks compared to traditional bullying (Rao et al, 2017). While traditional bullying tends to occur in situations where the offender and the victim are in close environments, cyberbullying tends to occur remotely, mostly using computers and the internet.…”

The development of technology and especially the changes and innovations experienced in the development of mobile technologies have increased the use of such technological devices in the society. Mobile technologies and smart phones among them have positive effects both in social life and academic life, alongside situations that cause some negative consequences as a result of intensive use of such technologies. Cyberbullying behaviour, which aims to harm others' lives by using technological devices, comes to the forefront among these problems. Therefore, this study aims to investigate engagement in cyberbullying behaviour and the sensitivity towards cyberbullying, which is a common behaviour especially among secondary school students. The study was carried out with 747 secondary school students studying in the first and second year in the fall term of the 2019-2020 academic year. "Cyberbullying Scale" and "Sensitivity towards Cyberbullying Scale" were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H and Spearman rho tests were used to evaluate the data that were found not to show normal distribution. As a result of the study, it was determined that the students' levels of engagement in cyberbullying behaviour were "low", whereas their sensitivity levels towards cyberbullying were "high". In the study, it was revealed that there is a difference between students' engaging in cyberbullying behaviour and their sensitivity towards cyberbullying in terms of gender and grade variables. While in the study it was revealed that difference
