A solution for ‘awful but lawful’

March 9, 2023 By Anne Leave a Comment

The youth market researchers at Ypulse just reported that 83% of millennial parents agreed with their survey statement that "social media platforms should do more to police and prevent cyberbullying." Their concerns are certainly justified, because cyberbullying is "awful but lawful" – not generally a kind of online harm that law enforcement can address. But is it worse than the offline version … [Read more...] about A solution for ‘awful but lawful’

Continued downward trend in bullying & other violence for US youth

April 29, 2014 By Anne Leave a Comment

This is news that we could use more of: US 2-to-17-year-olds have been exposed to decreasing sexual victimization and violence, including bullying. Examining "50 types of violence that kids might witness or experience themselves," researchers at the University of New Hampshire and University of the South found "significant declines in kids' exposure to 27 types of violence and no significant … [Read more...] about Continued downward trend in bullying & other violence for US youth

April 9, 2014 By Anne Leave a Comment

A study cited in "When Popularity Backfires" at Time.com found that socially ambitious kids can be just as likely to experience bullying and harassment as "social outcasts" at school. Interested in the "hotspots" of social aggression in students' social experiences at school, sociology professors Robert Faris at University of California Davis and Diane Felmlee at Pennsylvania State University … [Read more...] about Popularity: The other kind of vulnerability

Less bullying & fear at school: Fresh federal data

June 3, 2013 By Anne 1 Comment

Do people ever consider the possibility that, if they're exposed to increased reports about a social problem, it's the reporting that has increased rather than the problem? It's increasingly clear that this is the case with school bullying: Only news reports about it have increased, not the behavior itself. In fact, both bullying and fear of it are down among US middle school students (the grade … [Read more...] about Less bullying & fear at school: Fresh federal data

‘Bullying’ & ‘peer victimization’: Clearer terms, better communication

August 29, 2012 By Anne 6 Comments

I suspect two reasons why people (mistakenly) think cyberbullying is on the rise are… Its increased visibility: Cruel words and behaviors are unprecedentedly public now, because of the social Web, so that's what's actually growing – the exposure – which is sometimes confused with the behavior itself. The confusion needs to be cleared up. The exposure may be scary, but it's a net gain because … [Read more...] about ‘Bullying’ & ‘peer victimization’: Clearer terms, better communication
