Is Cyberbullying as mass medias tell to us ?
Discerning Cyberbullying
While all the world is talking about #cyberbullying , we need to discern the reality (numbers) from the perception (what we think about):
Cyberbullying in the USA is less frequent than the Traditional Bullying
80 percent to 90 percent of cyberbullied students were also exposed to traditional forms of #bullying
In 41 suicide cases identified by the research "78 percent of adolescents who committed suicide were bullied both at school and online, and only 17 percent were targeted online only"
There’s also a correlation with mental disease
Bullying and Cyberbullying are two pieces of the same pattern, yet they’re not the same
Although Cyberbullying and Bullying are different, they must be treated as parts of the same system
