Explanation:

The original sentence states that cyber - bullied kids have the same negative effects as those bullied in - person. Option E maintains the same meaning and is more concise and clear. Option A broadens the scope from "kids" to "people" which changes the original focus. Option B just mentions that kids can be bullied in two ways without emphasizing the same negative effects. Option C also broadens the scope to "people" instead of focusing on "kids". Option D says victims struggle with different problems which is contrary to the original statement about the same negative effects.

Answer:

E. Cyberbullied kids experience the same negative effects as those who are bullied in person.
