Around a fifth of young people report being bullied each year and victims are more likely to experience physical and mental health issues
By comparing children's survey responses on school bullying, researchers showed that in locations in the US where children reported more bullying, Google searches on the topic were also higher.
The trends in the UK match those in the US - both cyber bullying and school bullying appeared to fall when schools were closed due to shutdowns or during the school holidays.Dr Andrew Bacher-Hicks, assistant professor of education at Boston University and lead author of the US study, said initially the findings were surprising:"A lot of people were concerned that cyberbullying would rise during the pandemic with children learning remotely.
"Most online bullying is from children's peers, not strangers, but adults often think of anonymous trolling around this issue.""At first it was just people making comments to me when I started secondary school. But then it got worse the next year, especially during English. I used to dread that class.By Year 10 it was really getting to me and I left school for a while to be taught at home.And the bullying followed me home online.
