    Infographic Electronic Bullying

    Uploaded by

    api-336432282
    The document summarizes key findings from a survey of 800 young Canadians ages 12 to 18 about their experiences with electronic bullying in the past 4 weeks. Some of the main findings were that boys were more likely than girls both to experience and engage in electronic bullying, older youth experienced it more than younger youth, and youth who had been bullied were also more likely to bully others. The majority of youth witnessed electronic bullying and over 70% intervened at least once by comforting the target privately or telling a trusted adult. While youth were willing to intervene, their top barriers were worries about becoming targets themselves or making the situation worse. The document recommends providing adults with tools and resources to empower youth to intervene in cases of electronic bullying.
