HealthDay (6/28) reports, “Adolescents who experience cyberbullying are more likely to think about suicide,” researchers concluded after analyzing “data collected between July 2018 and January 2021 from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study…which contains information from 10,000 U.S. children between the ages of 10 and 13, including data from a cyberbullying questionnaire.” The study revealed “a link between being bullied online, through texts or on social media, and thoughts of suicide that go above and beyond the link between suicidal thoughts and traditional offline bullying.” The findings were published online June 27 in JAMA Network Open.
