School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Philip Arneill:
Could I add to that? Professor Mona O'Moore of the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre in DCU showed in her research from 2012 that 61% of victims of cyberbullying were also victims of traditional bullying and that 67% of cyberbullies were also traditional bullies.
There is a very clear link between that culture of what we would consider more traditional, old-fashioned bullying and cyberbullying. The two are very closely linked.
