Brutal bullies: What makes kids cruel?
Cyberbullying Perpetrators and Victims at Risk for Physical and Psychiatric Problems “Both cyberbullies and their victims are likely to experience psychiatric and psychosomatic problems, according to a new study of more than 2000 Finnish adolescents that also found that 1 in 4 of those who had been victimized reported fearing for their safety. However, those who were both cybervictims and cyberbullies at the same time were the most troubled of all, report the investigators.”
Cyberbullying: A Growing Problem “Around 10 percent of all adolescents in grades 7-9 are victims of internet bullying. 'This type of bullying can be more serious than conventional bullying. At least with conventional bullying the victim is left alone on evenings and weekends', says Ann Frisén, Professor of Psychology at the University of Gothenburg. 'Victims of internet bullying -- or cyberbullying -- have no refuge. Victims may be harassed continuously via SMS and websites, and the information spreads very quickly and may be difficult to remove. In addition, it is often difficult to identify the perpetrator.'“

Victims of bullying face lingering health issues “A study just published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry found that adults who were bullied as children were more likely than others to suffer from depression and anxiety, as well as a host of physical ills, including fatigue, pain and a greater susceptibility to colds.”
