Over 25% of primary school children & 40% in secondary school face cyberbullying - reportOver 25% of primary school children (aged 8 to 12) have experienced cyberbullying during the last school year, according to new figures published today in CyberSafeKids’ Annual Trends and Usage Report. The survey by Ireland's online safety charity of over 5,000 children included secondary school aged children for the first time. The research found that only 52% of primary school children, and 39% of secondary school children told a parent or trusted adult they were being bullied. Between a quarter to a third of children didn’t tell anyone (28% of younger children and 34% of older children). Nearly half of the younger children (46%) didn’t tell a parent or trusted adult about this experience, rising to 67% for secondary school children in this position.
