Cyberbullying rarely occurs in isolation—it functions as an extension of school violence, say researchers
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0

The study, conducted at the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp) in Brazil, mapped students' involvement in bullying and found that the lines between victims and perpetrators often blur in a cycle of violence spanning both the physical and digital worlds.
