Data reveals over half of young people who were victims of bullying, also bullied others

Data from a Kids Helpline survey shows over half (52%) of children and young people who claimed they cyberbullied others, were also cyberbullied themselves. Name calling (77%), rumours (71%), and exclusion (65%) were the most common forms of bullying reported. The findings highlight the multifaceted nature of bullying, with the young people involved saying they bullied as an attempt to seek justice for being bullied. The researchers contend these findings suggest bullying occurs due to breakdowns in peer relationships, with education and skill development to facilitate healthy relationship building, conflict resolution and coping as paramount in addressing the issue. The survey is still open for participation by children and young people aged 5-25 until Friday, 23rd February. Find out more about the research here.
