Cyberbullying facts and statistics for 2020

Most teens have now experienced cyberbullying in some way

A 2018 Pew Research study found that a majority of teens (59%) experienced some form of
cyberbullying. According to the study, both online harassment and online bullying occur at
particularly high rates.

The most common specific types of cyberbullying teens experience include:

 Offensive name-calling (42%)

 Spreading of false rumors (32%)
 Receiving explicit images they didn’t ask for (25%)
 Constant asking of who they are, what they’re doing, and who they’re with by someone other
than a parent (21%)
 Physical threats (16%)
 Having explicit images shared without their consent (7%)

Additionally, a 2019 study from the Cyberbullying Research Center found that 36% of 12–17 years
olds in the US had been cyberbullied in the last 30 days. Of these, 22% of incidents involved
someone spreading rumors online. However, this could actually be a significant underreporting,
since a decade-long Florida Atlantic University study of 20,000 middle and high school students
found that this occured in 70% of cases.
Cyberbullying may be contributing to the increase in youth suicides

There has been a troubling rise in teen suicide rates in the past decade. The National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS) found that suicide is the second-leading cause of death among US
residents aged 10 to 34.

Although the NCHS report, which was released in April 2020, does not suggest a reason for the
increase in suicides, cyberbullying may indeed be part of the equation. One 2018 study found that
young adults under the age of 25 who were victimized by cyberbullying were twice as likely to
commit suicide or self-harm in other ways.

Additionally, research presented at the 2017 Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting revealed the
number of children admitted to hospitals for attempted suicide or expressing suicidal thoughts
doubled between 2008 and 2015. Much of the rise is linked to an increase in cyberbullying.

More teen suicides are also now attributed in some way to cyberbullying (1, 2, 3) than ever before.
Furthermore, young males are most likely to commit suicide than females, although teen suicides
overall were up between 2000 and 2017.

CYBERBULLYING: TWENTY CRUCIAL STATISTICS FOR 2020

Cyberbullying Impacts

Kids who are bullied are more likely than those who aren’t to experience depression and anxiety,
health complaints, and decreased academic achievement.

Young people who bully others are more likely to abuse alcohol, have criminal convictions as adults,
and be abusive toward future partners.

Only 11% of teens talked to their parents about cyberbullying incidents.

Taking Action

90% of teens say online harassment is a problem, but less than half of them think it is being properly
addressed by law enforcement (44%), teachers (42%), social media sites (33%) and elected officials
(20%).

Over 70 percent of teens said that being able to block cyberbullies was the most effective method of
prevention.

As teens and young adults spend more of their time online, cyberbullying has become a major issue.
The fact that perpetrators hide behind screens does not make the effects of cyberbullying any less
damaging to those involved. Teens themselves agree that cyberbullying is a major problem but do
not feel like those in charge are doing enough to address it. Anti-bullying organizations and
 campaigns aim to educate and empower people to prevent and handle cyberbullying, but the overall
feeling from today’s youth is that more should be done by the social media companies and our
elected officials.

What Is Cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and
tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, Text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or
gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending,
posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include
sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation.
Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behaviour.

The most common places where cyberbullying occurs are:

 Social Media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tik Tok

 Text messaging and messaging apps on mobile or tablet devices
 Instant messaging, direct messaging, and online chatting over the internet
 Online forums, chat rooms, and message boards, such as Reddit
 Email
 Online gaming communities

Special Concerns

With the prevalence of social media and digital forums, comments, photos, posts, and content
shared by individuals can often be viewed by strangers as well as acquaintances. The content an
individual shares online – both their personal content as well as any negative, mean, or hurtful
content – creates a kind of permanent public record of their views, activities, and behavior. This
public record can be thought of as an online reputation, which may be accessible to schools,
employers, colleges, clubs, and others who may be researching an individual now or in the future.
Cyberbullying can harm the online reputations of everyone involved – not just the person being
bullied, but those doing the bullying or participating in it. Cyberbullying has unique concerns in that it
can be:

Persistent – Digital devices offer an ability to immediately and continuously communicate 24 hours a
day, so it can be difficult for children experiencing cyberbullying to find relief.

Permanent – Most information communicated electronically is permanent and public, if not reported
and removed. A negative online reputation, including for those who bully, can impact college
admissions, employment, and other areas of life.

Hard to Notice – Because teachers and parents may not overhear or see cyberbullying taking place,
it is harder to recognize.
