Bullying has been linked to health problems in teens, including anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self‐harm, and disruptive behaviors. With the proliferation of online social media, cyberbullying is also taking place, with about 20% of adolescents being victimized in the past year. Cyberbullying, like face‐to‐face bullying, also increases the risk of mental health problems, as well as substance misuse.
