Abstract

Background

Bullying is a national public health problem affecting millions of students. With the rapid increase in electronic or online communication, bullying is no longer limited to schools. The goal of the current investigation was to examine the overlap among targets of, and the similarities between, online and in-school bullying among Internet-using adolescents. Additionally, a number of common assumptions regarding online or cyberbullying were tested.

Methods

An anonymous Web-based survey was conducted with one thousand four hundred fifty-four 12- to 17-year-old youth.
