ARLINGTON, Va., April 9 (UPI) -- More than 40 percent of U.S. teens are victims of cyber-bullying but only 10 percent of that group said they told their parents about it, a survey indicates.
The survey, commissioned by the National Crime Prevention Council and conducted by Harris Interactive, found that nearly half the teens surveyed said cyber-bullying happens because a cyber-bully does not perceive any tangible consequences.
Cyber-bullying results in painful and serious consequences for teens including suicide, school violence and depression, the National Crime Prevention Council said.
The council said teens can help prevent cyber-bullying by:
-- Refusing to pass along cyber-bullying messages.
-- Telling friends to stop cyber-bullying.
-- Blocking communication with cyber-bullies.
-- Report cyber-bullying to a trusted adult.
