Be aware of Online Predators

Youth Cyber Bullying Statistics 33 percent of youth have been victimized by cyber bullying. Among this percentage, being ignored and disrespected were the most common forms of cyber bullying. The primary cyber bullying location where victimizing occurs is in chat rooms (56 percent). Following chat rooms, 49 percent are victimized via instant message and 28 percent via e-mail. 34 percent of youth who are bullied feel frustrated, 30 percent angry and 22 percent feel sad. Oddly, because many studies show that females often deal with harder situations by becoming sad, this particular study suggests that females feel much angrier than males about being cyber-bullied. 41 percent of victims do not tell anyone in their off-screen lives about their abuse, but 38 percent did tell an online friend. The situation only improved for 19 percent of victims when they did tell someone about the bullying. 17 percent admitted to bullying another individual online. Of the offenders interviewed most considered it fun or instructive; such as a way to strengthen their victims. More than half of study participants feel that cyber bullying is as bad, or worse, as bullying in real life. Patchin and Hinduja point out that the most important fact reveled from their research is that five percent of the youth they interviewed claimed to be scared for their own safety. Although, it's likely that numbers overall are much higher when you consider how many youth in comparison to the 6,000 interviewed are online daily.
