“everyone hates you”
A Serious Game for Cyberbullying Prevention and Education Research demonstrates that cyberbullying is an issue that clearly needs to be addressed. In 2013, 17 percent of high school students nationwide reported seriously considering suicide and 8 percent reported attempting suicide at least once. During this same year, 14.8 percent of students reported being electronically bullied.1 Studies have “found a consistent association between being bullied and suicidal thoughts among youth.”2 In order to promote education and awareness of the consequences of electronic bullying, a research-based game titled Everyone Hates You was created and published.
