HBSC Ireland 2018 Bullying and Cyberbullying Behaviour

Children were asked how often, in the past couple of months, they had been bullied at school or cyberbullied and how often they had taken part in bullying others at school or cyberbullying others. Cyberbullying examples were (sent mean instant messages, email or text messages; wall postings; created a website making fun of someone; posted unflattering or inappropriate pictures online without permission or shared them with others).
