This WHO (World Health Organization) report shows that since 2018, many traditional forms of adolescent violence are going down, and it cautions about an uptick in cyberbullying.
The report focuses on adolescent peer violence and bullying, using the unique HBSC (Healthy Behaviour in School-aged Children) evidence on adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 years across 44 countries and regions in Europe, central Asia and Canada. It describes the status of adolescent peer violence (bullying, cyberbullying and fighting), the role of gender, age and social inequality, and how adolescent bullying and fighting behaviour has changed over time.
Brock University Professor of Health Sciences William Picket is one of the lead authors of the report.
