“…Hispanic and black adolescents were found to be more likely to be physical bullies than their white, black and Asian peers (Nansel, et al, 2001;Wang, Iannotti, & Luk, 2012;Wang et al, 2009). Although black youth were significantly less bullied than any of their peers, they do experience racial bullying like Asian and Hispanic youth, an area often overlooked in cyber-bullying research (Arat, 2015;Fisher et al, 2015;Goldweber, Waasdorp, & Bradshaw, 2013;Nansel et al, 2001;Stone & Carlisle, 2015;Williams & Peguero, 2013). When looking at cooccurrence of traditional, non-physical bullying and cyberbullying, there were no differences among Hispanic, black, and white teens.…”

Cyberbullying is a relatively new phenomenon associated with the widespread adoption of various digital communication technologies, including the internet and mobile phones. As of 2013, nearly 20% of youths in grades 9-12 in the US reported being traditionally bullied in face-to-face encounters while almost 15% reported being cyberbullied (Kann et al., 2014). Bullying victimization is associated with a variety of behavioral and psychological effects, from becoming bullies themselves (i.e., bully-victims), to poor academic performance, depression and suicidal ideation (Nansel et al., 2001;Wang, Nansel, & Iannotti, 2011;Willard, 2007). Research on these phenomena has focused primarily on white youth, leaving a void in our understanding of how cyberbullying has affected youth of color. This narrative literature review addresses this oversight by providing an overview of recent cyberbullying research that focuses on Hispanic, Asian and black adolescents (k=15). We found that youth of color appear to be less likely to experience cyberbullying than white youth but they experience suicidal ideation and attempts at about the same rates when they do experience cyberbullying.

“…African American youth have received more attention in recent studies simply because they have the greatest number of health disparities as well as higher rates of engaging in risky behaviors compared to other ethnic and age groups (Schuster et al., ). African American teenagers are also more likely to grow up in low‐income urban communities with higher rates of violence (Bradshaw, Waasdorp, Goldweber, & Johnson, ; Goldweber, Waasdorp, & Bradshaw, ). These adolescents experienced more discrimination than White and Latino adolescents and had greater exposure to violent behaviors, especially at a younger age (Schuster et al., ).…”

“…It is reported that school-aged young adults who migrate to the US are high-level cyber bullying victims. Over 10,245 urban youth in the US, African Americans have been shown to be more cyber bullying victims [12]. It is also reported that, in American secondary school students, whites experience "racial bullying" three times more than the African Americans, whereas the African Americans are twice as "racially based bullying victims" compared to whites [13].…”

Bullying is defined as the repeated act of violence toward victims on the basis of power imbalance. A new type of bullying is derived with the development of digital communication technologies such as the internet and mobile phones which is called "cyber bullying". Today being a victim of cyber bullying has become a major public health problem among adolescents and young people. While the act of cyber bullying is more common among boys, girls are reported to be usually the victim. Being a part of an ethnic minority, gender other than heterosexuality is a risk factor for cyber bullying victimization. There is a relation between eating behavior disorders, anxiety, depression, suicidal tendencies, anger, aggression, non-alcohol-addiction with mental health problems and cyber bullying victimization. Quality of life seems to be low in both victims and bullies. Also, disturbances among parents, siblings' relationships, and academic underperformance are associated with cyber bullying. It can be said that all subjects related to social and mental health can be affected by cyber bullying. The purpose of this review is to reveal what cyber bullying is, its risk factors, and its relationship on adolescents and young adults physical and mental health. IntroductionBullying is defined as an act of violence repeated over time in which there is a power imbalance between the victims and those who bully [1,2]. In traditional bullying, the victim and the bully are face-to-face. Traditional bullying can be categorized as physical like hitting-kicking, verbal like ridicule and threat, and relational like exclusion and spreading rumor. A new kind of bullying came into existence with the development of digital communication technologies such as the internet and mobile phone and is called "Cyber bullying" [3]. Cyber bullying is defined as deliberately and repeatedly damaging someone using digital technologies [4]. Cyber bullying is most commonly performed in the form of annoying messages and social attacks by unidentified messages through e-mail, instant messaging, chat rooms, and websites. The target audience in bullying / cyber bullying studies is categorized as the bullies, the victims, those who are both the bully and the victim, and those who are neither the bully nor the victim [1,2]. Modecki and colleagues report in the meta-analysis study of the results of eighty studies that traditional bullying is seen twice as much as cyber bullying, and that traditional and cyber bullying are highly correlated [3]. For this reason, it is seen that most of the studies related to the subject are handled together with traditional and cyber bullying. The purpose of this review is to reveal what cyber bullying is, its risk groups, and its effects on the physical and mental health of adolescents and young adults.
