How many people die each year from cyberbullying?

Answer 1

It is not know how many people die from this each year worldwide or even in seperate countries because it is too difficult for the authorities to mass this information. Many young people will have been frightened into doing something drastic like this without saying anything to peers or parents.

We have many cases of young adults and teenagers in Wales, UK who over the past couple of years have mysteriously taken their own lives. The police have painstakenly been trying to find a link to why so many are doing this but just cannot. The ones that are being bullied are usually very secretive and unlikely to say anything. They may wrongly feel weak because they cannot stop it on their own accord.

It is well known that bullying in whatever format has dire consequences to many young people who may feel life is against them and not worth living. So it is essential that when we find out about any bullying going on we report it straight away to whoever is in charge where it is happening, and the parents of the child/teenager must be informed also. It may, depending on the severity and how long it has been happening, be necessary to involve the police too.

The potential for kids to use the internet as a weapon for bullying is enormous.

Estimating that more than 13 million children aged six to 17 were victims of cyberbullying, a poll also revealed that more than two million of those victims told no one about being attacked.

One-third of all children (ages 12-17) and one-sixth of children (ages 6-11) have had mean, threatening or embarrassing things said about them online.

10 percent of the teens and four percent of the younger children were threatened online with physical harm.

16 percent of the teens and preteens who were victims told no one about it.

About half of children ages 6-11 told their parents. Only 30 percent of older kids told their parents.

Preteens were as likely to receive harmful messages at school (45 percent) as at home (44 percent).

Older children received 30 percent of harmful messages at school and 70 percent at home.

17 percent of preteens and seven percent of teens said they were worried about bullying as they start a new school year.

8 percent of those effected by cyberbullying try to commit suicide.
