The Australian Covert Bullying Prevalence Study (2009) has found that 10% of Year 4 to Year 9 students had been cyber bullied in the term prior to the study being conducted. However the incidence of cyberbullying appears to be flying "under the radar", as its very nature makes it difficult for parents and teachers to monitor it, and students report a reluctance to involve adults in their cyberbullying conflicts.
