Abstract
Although the cyberspace opens up new perspectives and opportunities, it can sometimes turn into a hostile environment and a playground for bullying (Tokunaga 2010). Young people are prone to take risks online and can fall prey to bullies and predators and their online safety has become a key preoccupation these last decades. Since the late 1990s, many studies were completed in North America (Kowalski et al. 2008; Li 2007; Shariff 2008; Mishna et al. 2012; Hinduja and Patchin 2008), Europe (Smith et al. 2008) as well as in Latin America (Torres and Vivas 2016) and Asia (Hong et al. 2006; Wright 2015; Lee 2016) on the use of the Internet and its possible risks and opportunities (Livingstone et al. 2011a, b).
