The prevalence of cyber-bullying and its psychological impact on non-heterosexual youth has been revealed in a new American study.
According to research carried out at Iowa State University, one out of every two lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender (LGBT) and allied youths are regular victims of “cyber-bullying,” which leads to psychological and emotional distress to victims even sparking off thoughts of suicide in some.
The study will appear in this month’s special LGBT-themed issue of the International Journal of Critical Pedagogy.
