| The Goldsmiths study backs up previous research, finding that:
- Between a fifth and a quarter of students had been cyberbullied at least once over the previous few months.
- Phone calls, text messages and email were the most common.
- There was more cyberbullying outside school than in.
- Girls are more likely than boys to be involved in cyberbullying in school, usually by phone.
- For boys, text messaging is the most usual form, followed by picture/video clip or website bullying.
- Picture/video clip and phone call bullying were perceived as most harmful.
- Website and text bullying were equated in impact to other forms of bullying.
- Around a third of those bullied told no one about the bullying.
