TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Bullying and cyberbullying among LGBTQ and heterosexual youth from an intersectional perspective: findings from the 2017 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey JO - Journal of school violence A1 - Angoff, Harrison D. A1 - Barnhart, Wesley R. SP - 274 EP - 286 VL - 20 IS - 3 N2 - While LGBTQ youth may be victims of bullying at greater rates than heterosexual youth, research examining in-school bullying and cyberbullying victimization disparities through an intersectional framework is limited. Using the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, the present study examined the prevalence of in-school bullying and cyberbullying victimization across sexual orientation, gender, race, and grade (N = 13,567).

RESULTS position sexual minority youth at higher odds of experiencing in-school bullying and cyberbullying than heterosexual youth and show that bisexual youth were more likely than gay/lesbian youth to be cyberbullied.

FINDINGS from intersectional analyses show within-group variation in bullying victimization across sexual orientation based on gender, grade, and race. Specific intersectional results and implications for in-school bullying and cyberbullying prevention and intervention efforts are discussed.
