In a recent study of students in grades 6-8 (Kowalski et al., 2005):
- Girls were about twice as likely as boys to be victims and perpetrators of cyber bullying.
- Of those students who had been cyberbullied relatively frequently (at least twice in the last couple of months):
- 62% said that they had been cyberbullied by another student at school, and 46% had been cyberbullied by a friend.
- 55% didn’t know who had cyberbullied them.
- Of those students who admitted cyberbullying others relatively frequently:
- 60% had cyberbullied another student at school, and 56% had cyberbullied a friend.
