Bullied children excluded from digital communication forums

(University of Gothenburg) There is a conception that bullied children with few friends can find new ones online. "Our research doesn't support that idea at all," says Ylva Bjereld, PhD student at the Department of social work, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. On the contrary, a new study reports that bullied children are excluded from new communication forums that have developed as a result of the digital transformation.
