“…For both White and Black respondents, being a victim of cyberbullying was associated with being bullied in traditional ways addressing Research Question 3. These findings support the finding that traditional bullying and cyberbullying are related (e.g., Gallagher & Dunsmuir, 2014; Kowalski et al, 2014; Landstedt & Persson, 2014; Modecki, Minchin, Harbaugh, Guerra, & Runions, 2014; Olweus & Limber, 2018; Price, Chin, Higa-McMillan, Kim, & Christopher Frueh, 2013). Victims of traditional bullying may go online as a means of facilitating social interactions that are difficult in face-to-face encounters.…”

Although cyberbullying has attracted a good deal of research attention in recent years, we know much less about how cyberbullying differs by race and ethnicity, and the few studies that have examined this topic have yielded conflicting findings. In the current study, 352 White and Black respondents answered questions about their victimization and perpetration experiences with both traditional bullying and cyberbullying. More than 80% of both White and Black participants indicated that they had been victims of traditional bullying, and over 45% had been victims of cyberbullying at least once. Fewer reported perpetrating either type of bullying. Texting and social media were the most common forms of technology used by both White and Black respondents as well as the most common venues by which cyberbullying occurred. For all participants, cyberbullying victimization was associated with greater suicidal ideation, and traditional bullying victimization was related to higher loneliness, depression, and suicidal ideation. At higher frequencies of traditional bullying victimization, Black respondents reported higher loneliness than did White participants. Understanding patterns of technology use and experiences with cyberbullying victimization and perpetration will help to inform effective strategies for prevention and intervention. Public Policy Relevance StatementCyberbullying is a topic of public health concern because of high prevalence rates among victims, perpetrators, and witnesses. Understanding how these prevalence rates are moderated by demographic variables, such as race, and how they are related to traditional bullying prevalence helps inform prevention and intervention efforts.

“…However, Gallagher and Dunsmuir's (2014) study on 239 UK teenagers aged 11-16 years old concluded there were no age differences in teenagers involved in cyberbullying. This is in contrast to Barlett and Coyne's (2014) meta-analysis of cyberbullying, which highlighted that males are less likely than females to report cyberbullying during early to mid-adolescence.…”

Cyberbullying amongst teenagers is a major issue, due to their increased use of social media. Previous literature surveys have not covered in detail cyberbullying studies in 2014 and cyberbullying risk factors. This literature review explores cyberbullying research areas, such as the use of social media by teenagers, themes from cyberbullying studies carried out since 2012, cyberbullying risk factors and how teenagers deal with cyberbullying incidents. Current cyberbullying studies highlighted issues such as the high volume of cyberbullying incidents in school, increased personal information disclosure on social media, peer influences and the safety of the school environment for both bully and victim. Studies focusing on cyberbullying risk factors raised debates on factors such as whether males or females are most likely to be victims/cyberbullies. Tackling cyberbullying requires awareness, education for actors involved in cyberbullying, development of software to detect cyberbullying and including actors in the monitoring of cyberbullying.
