Teenagers...you are needed.

Hi!

These next pages are for the teens. This is their corner and I hope together we can find some tangible solutions to cyberbulling and find a way for teens to enjoy their right to privacy in the future. These young people will build the foundation for internet security in our future. Listen to the teens, for they have the answers.

Cyberbullying

Because the National Crime Victimization Survey data is weighted to represent the entire enrolled 9th-12th grade student population, it is estimated that about 2.2 million students experienced cyberbullying in 2011. Of the 9% of students that reported being cyber-bullied in the National Crime Victimization Survey compared to 6.2% in 2009 (NCES, 2013):

71.9% reported being cyber-bullied once or twice in the school year
19.6% reported once or twice a month
5.3% reported once or twice a week
3.1% reported almost everyday

"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another."

Charles Dickens

Did you know....

More than half of young people surveyed say that they never confide in their parents when cyber bullying happens to them.
Only one out of every six parents of adolescents and teens are even aware of the scope and intensity involved with cyber bullying.
