"25% of primary school students have been cyber bullied" - survey.

"Cibearbhulaíocht déanta ar 25 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí bunscoile" - suirbhé.

Over 25% of primary school pupils and 40% of secondary school pupils have been cyber bullied, according to a survey carried out by the online safety charity CyberSafeKids.

Tá cibearbhulaíocht déanta ar os cionn 25 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí bunscoile agus ar 40 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí scoile dara leibhéal, de réir suirbhé atá déanta ag an gcarthanas sábháilteachta ar líne CyberSafeKids.

Some of the children the charity spoke to said, for example, that pictures of them had been published online without permission, fake profiles had been created and they had been kept out of chat groups.

Dúirt roinnt de na páistí ar labhair an carthanas leo, cuir i gcás, gur foilsíodh pictiúir díobh ar líne gan chead, gur cruthaíodh próifílí bréige díobh agus gur coinníodh amach as grúpaí comhrá iad.

According to the research, this type of bullying is mostly done to girls, rather than boys.

Is ar chailíní is mó, seachas buachaillí, a dhéantar an cineál seo bulaíochta, de réir an taighde.

50% of primary school pupils let an adult – a parent or teacher – know, compared to 39% of second level pupils.

Lig 50 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí bunscoile an scéal le duine fásta – tuismitheoir nó múinteoir – le hais 39 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí dara leibhéal.

Between a quarter and a third of children, they did not let anyone know, however.

Níor lig idir an ceathrú cuid agus an tríú cuid de leanaí, níor lig siad an scéal do dhuine ar bith, ámh.

About 5,000 young people between the ages of eight and sixteen were asked between September 2022 and June 2023 about the opinion of the research.

Ceistíodh thart ar 5,000 duine óg idir ocht mbliana d'aois agus sé bliana déag idir Mheán Fómhair 2022 agus Mheitheamh 2023 faoi thuairim an taighde.

It shows that 93% of children between the ages of eight and twelve have their own smart device and that the most popular apps are YouTube, WhatsApp, TikTok, and Snapchat.

Léirítear ann go bhfuil a ngléas cliste féin ag 93 faoin gcéad de leanaí idir ocht mbliana agus dhá bhliain déag agus gurb iad YouTube, WhatsApp, TikTok, agus Snapchat na haipeanna is mó a bhfuil tóir acu orthu.

It is reported that online gaming is also very popular with young people and that 15% of them play games for adults, such as Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.

Tuairiscítear go bhfuil an-tóir ag na daoine óga ar chluichíocht ar líne freisin agus go n- imríonn 15 faoin gcéad acu cluichí le haghaidh daoine fásta, leithéidí Call of Duty agus Grand Theft Auto.

These games are mostly played by boys but it is more common for young girls to post videos of themselves online.

Buachaillí is mó a imríonn na cluichí seo ach is coitianta ag cailíní óga físeáin díobh féin a phostáil ar líne.

Almost 75% of children between the ages of twelve and sixteen said they can go online whenever they want.

Dúirt beagnach 75 faoin gcéad de pháistí idir dhá bhliain déag agus sé bliana déag gur féidir leo dul ar líne aon uair is mian leo.

Speaking on RTÉ, Alex Cooney from CyberSafeKids claimed that social media companies are not doing half enough to protect young people (from cyberbullying and hateful content).

Ag labhairt di ar RTÉ, mhaígh Alex Cooney ó CyberSafeKids nach bhfuil comhlachtaí meán sóisialta ag déanamh leath a ndóthain le daoine óga a chosaint (ar chibearbhuaíocht agus ar ábhar gránna).

She also indicated that she would be keeping an eye on the approach taken by the Online Safety Commissioner towards these companies.

Thug sí le fios freisin go mbeadh sí ag conneáil súil ar an gcur chuige a bheas ag an gCoimisinéir Sábháilteachta ar Líne i leith na gcomhlachtaí sin.

In response to this, Minister of State Ossian Smyth suggested that the resources now existed...
