It was concluded that the way youths view themselves and the way they interact with others significantly affects the likelihood of them being cyberbullied. On being resilient The survey showed an overall increase in awareness among youths towards digital resilience. When they encounter issues online, youths have demonstrated the ability and willingness to stop or report the issue – which means there is awareness of the support systems available to them. However, findings showed differences between boys and girls.
