- One in three online teens have experienced online harassment
- Girls are more likely to be victims
- But most teens say that they are more likely to be bullied offline than online
There may not be a lot of surprises in this report, but it does quantify something that we've known about for some time: "Bullying has entered the digital age. The impulses behind it are the same, but the effect is magnified. In the past, the materials of bullying would have been whispered, shouted or passed around. Now, with a few clicks, a photo, video or a conversation can be shared with hundreds via email or millions through a website, online profile or blog posting."
