The day before Do it for Dolly Day, a new report came. It said that almost one in four Australian teenagers have experienced cyber-bullying(网络欺凌). Do it for Dolly Day is an event to remind people of the risks of online bullying, following the death of Dolly Everett in 2018.
The new report was from McAfee. McAfee asked 15,500 parents and 12,057 children across the country some questions on cyber-bullying. It found that 24 percent of Australian children reported experiencing bullying online. But just 20 percent of parents knew that their children had experienced online bullying.
McAfee said the report’s findings should be a “wake-up call” to parents, teachers and schools. McAfee also said now Australia’s high rate(比率) of cyber-bullying was mainly because of more teenagers being online and using social media(社交媒体).
Spokeswoman Jessie Mitchell called the report’s findings “worrying”. She said she hoped teenagers experiencing bullying online feel comfortable to tell it to their parents or teachers. Also they should know how to keep the messages, then turn to the school for help, or report bullying to the police.
