Aim of the study: To analyse the prevalence of bullying and cyberbullying and their correlation with suicidal behaviour among school aged children, by performing a comparison between children in three countries: Israel, Lithuania and Luxembourg. Objectives. 1. To analyse and compare the prevalence of traditional bullying and cyberbullying among 15-years old children, according to their gender in the countries Israel, Lithuania and Luxembourg. 2.
