Cyberbullying Facts - Cyberbullying Research Center. Cyberbullying Facts Summarizing What is Currently Known Over the last decade, we have surveyed nearly 15,000 middle and high school students in ten different studies from over 97 different schools throughout the United States.

The first two studies were online exploratory samples used to obtain a general understanding of the problem, so the numbers obtained are higher than average and not representative because they only include online teens who volunteered to participate. Our eight most recent studies, however, have all been random samples of known populations in schools so we can be fairly confident in the reliability and validity of the data obtained (click here for more information about the methodology).

Overall, about 25% of the students we have surveyed over the last eight studies have told us that they have been cyberbullied at some point in their lifetimes. About 9% said they were cyberbullied in the 30 days preceding the survey. Impact of computer games on society. PEGI Pan European Game Information - Welcome. Socio– cultural aspects of ICTs.
