“…Thirdly, overall, the frequency of bullying had a greater negative effect on the mental health of female adolescents compared with male adolescents, which was consistent with the findings of a recent study conducted in the United States that school bullying had a greater effect on psychological depression in females than in males [26]. In addition, physical bullying had a greater negative effect on the mental health of male adolescents, and verbal bullying and neglect had a greater negative effect on the mental health of female adolescents.…”

“…Previous studies have reported that individual factors contributing to adolescent mental health, such as age, gender [40], substance use [26,41], weight status [42] and family socioeconomic status [43]. Therefore, the study used the following variables related to mental health of adolescents in GSHS as control variables, including age, gender, physical well-being, cigarette smoking, alcohol use, proxy of family socioeconomic status, number of close friends and frequency of missing school.…”

“…Using data from U.S. Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System in 2015, Kim et al (2019) found that school bullying had a greater negative psychological effect on girls than on boys [26]. Wang et al (2009) selected a sample of 7182 U.S. adolescents in grades 6 to 10 based on the 2005 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children Survey, and found that boys were more likely to involve physical or verbal bullying and girls were more likely to be involved in relational bullying [27].…”

Adolescent bullying is a public health issue of great global concern. Given the serious negative effect of bullying on adolescent mental health, it is critical to seek protective factors to protect adolescent mental health. From a global cross-regional perspective, the study aims to explore the relationship between forms of bullying and adolescent mental health and the role of parental support as a protective factor. Data were drawn from adolescents aged 12–17 years in 65 countries from the Global School-based Student Health Survey between 2003 and 2015. After controlling the state-fixed effects, individual adolescent behavior, and family factors, the ordinary least squares model was used to analyze the influence of bullying frequency and forms of bullying on adolescent mental health. The results found that the prevalence of bullying in the sample of 167,286 adolescents was 32.03%, with the highest prevalence of bullying in the sample countries in Africa. Verbal bullying had the highest prevalence and the most significant negative effect on adolescent mental health. The study also discussed the differences in bullying among adolescents by gender, age, and region. “Parental supervision”, “parental connectedness” and “parental bonding” played a positive and protective role in the mental health of adolescents who experienced bullying.

“…However, it is unknown how peer victimization relates to the timing of alcohol use onset (Maniglio, 2017), which is important to understand in order to introduce effective interventions and prevention efforts at developmentally appropriate time points. Additionally, existing research speaks to the need to evaluate different forms of peer victimization, rather than assessing victimization status in broad terms (Kim et al, 2019, Fite et al, 2016.…”

Background: Peer victimization is consistently linked to adolescents' alcohol use. However, the relative influence of relational and physical peer victimization on alcohol use, and timing of drinking initiation, is not well understood. In this study, we evaluate the impact of both relational and physical peer victimization on adolescent girls' alcohol use initiation, and the extent to which depression severity moderates these associations.Methods: Participants were 2125 girls in the Pittsburgh Girls Study, a longitudinal communitybased study. Participants reported experiences of relational and physical peer victimization, depression severity, and alcohol use each year from ages 10-17. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses predicting timing of first drink were conducted in two stages, testing for main effects of peer victimization in Model 1 and moderation by depression severity in Model 2. Results:Analyses were split at age 14 to adjust for proportional hazards violations. Model 1 results supported a main effect for relational (Hazards ratio [HR]=1.83, CI: 1.46-2.28 ≤ age 13; HR=1.23, CI: 1.05-1.45 ≥ age 14) but not physical victimization on timing of alcohol use onset (HR=1.10, CI: 0.88-1.39). Model 2 results show that depression severity moderates the association between relational victimization and alcohol use initiation: the association between relational victimization and early alcohol use onset was stronger for lower depression severity (−1

“…There are also studies showing the mediating role of psychological morbidity in the influence of victimization and cyberbullying: Luk et al [ 22 ] showed that depression mediated the relationship between victimization and substance use for female adolescents in the United States; Cénat et al [ 49 ] reported that psychological distress was a mediator between cybervictimization and later substance use; Kim et al [ 50 ] showed that depression was a mediator between different types of victimization and alcohol use. However, no study has to date examined the mediating effect of depression in the link between victimization and cyberbullying.…”

Despite the rise of child victimization in different societies, few researchers have examined its consequences in terms of psychological morbidity (such as depression and anxiety) and problematic online behavior (such as Internet addiction and cyberbullying) in a single study. Moreover, no study has investigated the role of psychological morbidity in mediating the impact of victimization on problematic online behavior (indexed by Internet addiction and cyberbullying) in a single model. Based on a survey of 2843 Chinese secondary students (49.3% male; Mage = 13.97) from six public secondary schools in Fujian, China, we found that experience of victimization was positively associated with depression and anxiety, as well as Internet addiction and cyberbullying. Depression mediated the links between victimization and both Internet addiction and cyberbullying, with the mediating effect on Internet addiction found to be stronger for girls. While anxiety did not mediate the association between victimization and cyberbullying, it mediated the relationship between victimization and Internet addiction in boys. These findings enrich our understanding of the negative outcomes of victimization, as well as directions for intervention.
