A
global research company, Ipsos Social Research Institute, conducted a study on
cyber-bullying in 24 different countries. The findings found Australia as fifth
in the world for cyber-bullying, although first on the list for cyber-bullying
through social networking sites, for instance Facebook or Twitter. The four countries ranking higher than
Australia, in order were India, Indonesia, Sweden and Canada.
Additional

or children within their area, have experienced some form of pestering on
social networking sites.
Also,
the study found globally, that one in ten parents, about 12%, stated their
child had encountered cyber-bullying while one in four, about 26%, know of a
child within their community who has experienced cyber-bullying.
