Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Girls are about twice as likely as boys to be victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying. About 58% of kids admit someone has said mean or hurtful things to them online.

Detailed explanation-2: -The participants who experienced cyberbullying were more than 4 times as likely to report thoughts of suicide and attempts as those who didn’t. This association diminished but remained significant when the researchers adjusted for other factors known to affect thoughts of suicide and attempts.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to our cyberbullying research, in which we studied parents of kids between the ages of 10 and 18, 21 percent of children have been cyberbullied. 56 percent of these reports occurred from January to July 2020. We believe this increase correlates with the increased time spent online during COVID-19 lockdowns.
