"Cyber bullying" also increased with the pandemic
During the epidemic process, it was determined that the rate of exposure to cyberbullying increased in parallel with the increase in the time people spend on the internet, especially on social media, by closing to their homes. It was observed that children and women aged 8-12 were the most exposed to cyberbullying and survived these traumas very hard.
Psychiatrist Dr. Onur Okan Demirci, a faculty member of Istanbul Gelisim University, pointed out that due to the inability of people to come together during the pandemic period, he shifted to the digital environment in his bullying such as many positive and negative behaviors, and said that the increase in the rate of “cyber bullying” that most people are exposed to in the society is directly proportional to the closure of people to their homes.
