Youth’s response to the data

Youth comments  Questions not specific enough  Teach children about online and cellphone safety  Parents and guardians could support youth by limiting technology use  Youth admitted/realized they were victimizing others “When you ask about cyberbullying, one person might shrug off the drama that goes on and only think of the serious stuff, whereas someone else might be including it.” “I wish I had learned about the dangers before it was too late.”

Youth comments “ ” It is easier to bully someone [online] because it is hard to believe there is an actual human life sitting behind that little icon.

Youth comments “ ” When you are cyberbullied you think about it all the time. It consumes you and you withdraw from things.

Youth comments “ ” If your family won’t take it seriously, it is hard to know where to get help.

Summary and implications  Need to increase public awareness  Youth who report potentially unsafe cyberactivities also report other health concerns  Gender differences in cybersafety indicate need to support and educate girls  Need to find ways to connect young people with family, peers, school, and community.
