10 Cyberbullying Statistics Chait, Jennifer. "Cyber Bullying Statistics | LoveToKnow." //Safety Tips | Avoiding Danger//. Web. 26 Sept. 2011. . 1)33 percent of youth have been victimized by cyber bullying. 2)Among this percentage, being ignored and disrespected were the most common forms of cyber bullying. 3)The primary cyber bullying location where victimizing occurs is in chat rooms (56 percent). 4)Following chat rooms, 49 percent are victimized via instant message and 28 percent via e-mail. 5)34 percent of youth who are bullied feel frustrated, 30 percent angry and 22 percent feel sad. 6)41 percent of victims do not tell anyone in their off-screen lives about their abuse, but 38 percent did tell an online friend. 7)The situation only improved for 19 percent of victims when they did tell someone about the bullying. 8)17 percent admitted to bullying another individual online. 9)Of the offenders interviewed most considered it fun or instructive; such as a way to strengthen their victims. 10)Oddly, because many studies show that females often deal with harder situations by becoming sad, this particular study suggests that females feel much angrier than males about being cyber-bullied.
