People who are cyber bullied have, for the most part, been bullied in more traditional manners as well." Their research showed that the incidence increased over time, with 23 cases (56%) taking place between 2003 and 2010.

Of the victims, 78% of them who committed suicide were bullied both at school and online — with only 17% targeted on the internet only, studies show. A mood disorder was present in 32% of the teens, and another 15% also had depression symptoms. Another notable finding was that all of the victims were between the ages of 13 to 18, likely stemming from the pressures of adolescence, LeBlanc said. The suicide rate from these lucid acts is higher among females than males as well as Facebook being the more popular website utilized to cyberbuly.
