Abstract

In May/June 2015, Rat auf Draht 147 asked pupils about their experiences with (cyber)bullying and their suggestions for solutions via online questionnaires and focus groups.

Outcome

"In a new study, the child and youth emergency hotline "147 Rat auf Draht" asked 340 Austrian youths about their experiences with bullying. The alarming result: almost half (46 percent) had already been affected by bullying - making Austria the sad front-runner in Europe. In this less than satisfactory situation, however, there are also rays of hope: for example, young people affected by cyber-bullying know how to help themselves better than in the case of classic bullying."
