Cyberbullying Statistics in Brampton

Generally youth,people,bisexual people,disabled people etc.are among the groups who are bullied the most on the electronic media.According to me,cyber bullying not only harms the image of the person being bullied, but also has a negative outcome on the person who witnesses such bullying.Cyber bullying leads to many negative impacts on the mental health of the victim but also on the witness as it leads to drug abuse and in some cases,even suicide.

There have been many surveys in order to measure the extent of cyberbullying in Canada.According to an Ipsos Raid survey of around 400 Brampton teens,one in five of teens have been victim of online bullying,and around 25 percent kids between 12-15 have witnessed cyberbullying.This survey also disclosed that around 25 percent of girls and around 17 percent of boys have been a victim of cyberbullying.According to the Toronto Student Survey, cyberbullying is not so widespread in Brampton and other cities of Canada as compared to other parts of the world because more than half of the teens said that they were more likely to get bullied in real life than on eletronic media

The statistics of Brampton reveal that the extent of cyberbullying is moderate but according to me the victims should be given psychological and mental help and necessary steps should be taken by the law to eradicate this problem from the city.
