Summary Findings from the UK, Spain, Malta and Italy" (ISBN: 978-1-911634-69-0) Cyberbullying of vulnerable young people is a reality and an increasing concern locally and internationally. Unlike standard-bullying that is more common at school, it can continue throughout the day through SMS, and apps, in social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or damaging content about someone else. There is evidence that LGBTI+ groups are disproportionately affected by cyberbullying. The heavy reliance on the internet during the Covid-19 pandemic highlights the need for an urgent response that will enable both young people and youth workers to deal well with cyberbullying. The ebook has been developed as part of the Erasmus+ funded project Safe Internet Against Cyberbullying” (SIAC) coordinated by the Restorative Justice for All International Institute and delivered in partnership with Eurosud, Kairos Europe, Inercia Digital and Vismednet. This e-book presents the results from in the UK, Malta, Spain and Italy. It highlights the significance of the issue as well as the gaps in addressing it. The ebook includes chapters written in national languages. Co-funded by Erasmus+ Grant Agreement N: 2020-2-UK01-KA205-079438 and coordinated by Dr. Theo Gavrielides To cite: Gavrielides, T. (2022).

Cyberbullying Prevention and Response
Just as the previous generation was raised in front of televisions, adolescents at the turn of the 21st century are being raised in an internet-enabled world where blogs, social networking, and instant messaging are competing with face-to-face and telephone communication as the dominant means through which personal interaction takes place. Unfortunately, a small but growing proportion of our youth are being exposed online to interpersonal violence, aggression, and harassment via cyberbullying. The mission of this book is to explore the many critical issues surrounding this new phenomenon. Key features include the following. Comprehensive – The book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date look at the major issues that teachers, school administrators, counsellors, social workers, and parents need to be aware of with respect to cyberbullying identification, prevention, and response. Practical – While the information is informed by research, it is written in an accessible way that all adults will be able to understand and apply. Expertise – Justin W. Patchin and Sameer Hinduja are Co-Directors of the Cyberbullying Research Center (www.cyberbullying.us). Chapter authors represent a carefully selected group of contributors who have demonstrated both topical expertise and an ability to write about the topic in clear, easily accessible language. This book is appropriate for teachers, administrators, parents and others seeking research-based guidance on how to deal with the rising tide of cyberbullying issues. It is also appropriate for a variety of college level courses dealing with school violence and educational administration.
Youth Identification Growth
Youth Identification Growth examines the rising rates of LGBTQ identification among young people, exploring whether this increase signifies a trend or a fundamental shift in understanding identity. It uniquely connects this growth with increased access to education and the proliferation of online communities. The book argues that these factors empower youth to explore and express their identities in unprecedented ways. For example, the expansion of LGBTQ-inclusive curricula in schools correlates with increased self-identification, while online platforms offer spaces for connection and affirmation. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from psychology, sociology, and gender studies to analyze the social construction of identity. It investigates the influence of education on LGBTQ awareness and the role of online communities in identity formation. The content is presented with a balance of quantitative data and qualitative research. Beginning with historical context, the book progresses through an examination of educational impacts and digital influence, culminating in a discussion of implications for social policy and mental health.
