Bullied Teens Twice as Likely to Consider Suicide

A new study finds cyberbullying to being especially dangerous

Bullied teenagers are twice as likely to consider suicide and two-and-a-half times as likely to actually attempt to kill themselves, according to a new study.

The study out Monday from JAMA Pediatrics found that cyberbullying has become particularly dangerous. Kids who were cyberbullied were more three times as likely to contemplate suicide as non-bullied kids. The researchers compiled data from dozens of studies done since 1912, which included data gathered from over 234,000 teens and kids.
