INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON

The majority of the students in the schools of the project in Slovenia, Spain and Turkey think they could not recognize dangers on the Internet, but they take precautions (for example: no personal information, be careful about fake profiles…etc.).

Most of them think they have enough information about cyberbullying, but they do think there is a lot of cyberbullying on the Internet, but they would like to learn more about it.

Less than half of all students know someone who has been bullied on the Internet. Less than third of all students have been bullied, usually by text messages. They feel stressed, worried and afraid. For most of them, cyberbullying has lasted from one to two weeks or even a few years.

Parents are worried about any kind of violence; however, the most growing apprehension is about internet violence.

Students and parents have also suggested different solutions to the problem of cyberbullying.
