Factors Related to Cyber Bullying among High School Students in Hanoi, Vietnam

Chapter 9 Discussion and Conclusions

“…In Vietnam, the few studies on cyberbullying among students revealed prevalences from 16.7% to 35.7% Nguyen & Tran, 2016;Tran, Ngo, et al, 2015). Some studies have reported a variation between female and male students in bullying victimisation (Le et al, 2019;Tran, Shukri1, et al, 2018). Most importantly for our research, an association has been found between cyberbullying and depressive symptoms, and suicide ideation and attempts (Bottino et al, 2015;Le et al, 2019;Nixon, 2014).…”

Vietnam has not properly understood and successfully implemented this basic problem.…”

“…There were not any significant gender differences in cyberbullying or being victimized by cyberbullied females. However, students are rarely taught how to use the internet safely (Tran, Shukri, & Do, 2018). There have been several studies to provide strategies to avoid cyberbullying in Vietnam.…”
