flag A New Zealand study finds cyberbullying in schools is rising, with 45% of digital alerts involving bullying in tools like Google Docs and gaming platforms, yet most schools lack monitoring tools.

flag A new study of 22,000 anonymized alerts from New Zealand schools reveals rising digital risks for students, with bullying making up nearly 45% of incidents and increasingly occurring in collaborative tools like Google Docs, gaming platforms, and AI apps. flag Over 1,000 bullying alerts were detected in previously trusted educational software, while offensive content, sexual material, and students seeking help anonymously are also on the rise. flag Cyberbullying’s persistent, far-reaching nature is linked to depression, suicidal thoughts, absenteeism, and poor academic performance. flag Despite growing concerns, only 252 schools use monitoring tools like Linewize Monitor, which uses AI and human review to detect at-risk behavior without blocking content. flag Experts stress that 90% of schools lack such visibility, calling for urgent national action to expand prevention and early intervention across all digital environments.
