4 Troubled Teens Blog

About one-third of the teenagers who spend time online say they have been victims of cyberbullying, according to a new study. However, two-thirds of the teens reported that most bullying occurs off-line. Girls and those who use social networking websites like MySpace and Facebook were more likely to be bullied than other online users. The study, by the Pew Institute and the American Life Project, involved phone interviews with 866 children ages 12 to 17 years.
