Teenagers fall prey to bullying while using the internet—a platform that provides relative anonymity to bullies—according to a questionnaire-based study published inTeenagers, in general, are vulnerable to cyberbullying. Unfortunately, the associated risk factors and persistent ramifications remain more or less underexplored. This observational study effectively bridges the gap by surveying a group of teenage participants from Romania.
"Cyberbullying represents a major concern worldwide, especially among teenagers. Moreover, it has an extremely negative psychological impact. We performed a prospective online questionnaire-based study on 316 teenagers to assess the prevalence of cyberbullying in Romania, evaluate its psychosocial consequences, and examine the factors that may predispose them to bullying," says lead author Reka Borka Balas, MD, Ph.D.
The survey underscores the importance of maintaining healthy and nurturing environments at home. A finding shockingly reveals that teenagers witnessinghave a more than two-fold higher risk of committing cyberbullying than teenagers hailing from healthier family backgrounds. Quite interestingly, the study authors also discovered a statistically significant association between various edible or consumable items and the initiation of aggression.
