In today’s hyper-connected world, the internet and social media give us plenty of opportunities to stay in touch and share moments. But they also open the door to challenges like cyberbullying and sexting. Cyberbullying involves using online platforms to harass, threaten, or harm others. Sexting, on the other hand, refers to when people send explicit messages or images to each other using their smartphones or computers.
Both issues can impact emotions, social life, and mental health, particularly for teens, adolescents, and young adults, as they can leave you feeling powerless, isolated, or exposed.
Cyberbullying and sexting are influenced by a range of factors, like the anonymity that comes with digital platforms, peer pressure, and the absence of clear boundaries when it comes to online interactions. Social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube are often the primary spaces where cyberbullying occurs, with 79% of teens reporting cyberbullying on YouTube, 69% on Snapchat, and 64% on TikTok.
There’s also a cyclical relationship between sexting and cyberbullying. Teens who sext tend to be more at risk of being bullied online, and those who are bullied often find themselves getting involved in sexting. This connection highlights how these behaviors tend to influence one another, especially for teens dealing with the pressures of online environments.
