Copenhagen, Denmark – Some 16 percent of children aged 11 to 15 were cyberbullied in 2022, up from 13 percent four years ago, a WHO Europe report covering 44 countries said on Wednesday.
Fifteen percent of boys and 16 percent of girls reported being cyberbullied at least once in recent months, according to the study, entitled “Health Behaviour in School-aged Children”.“Virtual forms of peer violence have become particularly relevant since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, when young people’s worlds became increasingly virtual during times of lockdown,” the report said.
One adolescent in eight admitted cyberbullying others, an increase of three percentage points from 2018, the report said. The study was based on data from 279,000 children and adolescents from 44 countries across Europe, Central Asia and Canada.Parents’ socioeconomic status made little difference in children’s behaviour, the report found.
