In the verbal subsection of the individual subsection of the types subsection, I propose changing the line:

Use of body language (i.e., the middle finger) to torture someone

To:

Use of body language (i.e., the middle finger) to torment someone

I think that the use of the word torture is too extreme for describing giving someone the finger. Sim (talk) 14:43, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sadism

Sadism is the primary motivation; pleasure derived from inflicting hurt on another. Show me the bully who is not demonstrably enjoying the activity. Dismal that such a self-evident truth is not acknowledged. 122.151.210.84 (talk) 19:58, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Predominantly a phenomenon of 'social media'?

Really? I very much doubt it. That it has spread to social media might be thought innate and inevitable. But now the predominant forum? Does the content at reference 11 actually support the notion? The gut feeling vis-a-vis this proposition is one of great dubiosity. Why would bullying no longer be a predominantly immediate, in-person experience? What evidence it's now more prevalent online than in actuality? 122.151.210.84 (talk) 20:12, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. There are much scientific sources that state that cyberbullying is less prevalent than traditional bullying. For example Modecki, Minchin et al. (2014) conducted a meta-analysis on this topic and state that 'cyberbullying is far less likely than traditional bullying' respectively that 'traditional bullying is twice as likely as cyberbullying'. Moreover

Sidera, Serrat and Rostan (2021) postulate 'that victimization in cyberbullying only is rare'. This view is supported by studies of Chudal et al. (2021), Fischer, John et al. (2020),

Wang et al. (2019), Wolke, Lee and Guy (2017),

Glüer and Lohaus (2015) as well as Waasdorp and Bradshaw (2015) which all show that victimization in traditional bullying or victimization traditional bullying in combination with cyberbullying is more frequent than victimization in cyberbullying only.

link needs updating

one of the external links points to a page on enotalone.com which was moved and should be updated to point to https://www.enotalone.com/article/abuse-violence/the-secret-school-life-of-adolescents-r5639/

Sorry, I can't do it myself as it does not allow me. I would appreciate if someone with proper access can make the change. Kamurj (talk) 18:42, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

body language not restricted to middle finger

in the verbal subsection of individual bullying in types subsection, it is mentioned that body language is equal to middle finger showing. this is not the case. in many parts of the world, people don't know what middle finger means, and many people use other body language too.

I suggest changing "(i.e)" to "(e.g)".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.130.204.250 (talk) 09:32, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Under the section, "Prevention",

"Bullying prevention programs allow schools to help decrease cyberbullying within he realm of school."

has a missing "t" before "he realm of school". Suggested replacement text:

"Bullying prevention programs allow schools to help decrease cyberbullying within the realm of school." Andra36 (talk) 00:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
