How cyber-bullying Victims felt Cyber-bullying and stalking Research by the University of Valencia (UV) in Spain, based on a study carried out in the region, shows that between 25 percent and 29 percent of all teenagers have been bullied via their mobile phone or the Internet.
Spain offers support to victims of online bullying • Provide psychological attention to children and adolescents who are suffering a low or intermediate level of bullying (which accounts for most cases) • Act as an intermediary between parents, schools and public institutions in the most severe cases of bullying. • Give an effective response to cyber-bullying or bullying on the internet. • As a result of the concern in Spain about this issue, and the success of the anti-anorexia helpline, a new anti-bullying helpline has been created by Protegeles and presented at a press conference with the Spanish Ombudsman for Children.

However there are some differences between the two countries. • Spain, like the U.S., does not heavily censor • Email • Search engines • Sexual images • Non terroristic criticism of the government • The major difference in the amount of freedom in the U.S. and Spain is the existence of the Sinde law.
