A new report released by the Pew Research Center has found that close to half of American teenagers reported being bullied or harassed online.

The report unveiled that the most common motive for online bullying was the teen’s physical appearance. Offensive name-calling is another commonly reported means of cyberbullying, with as many as 32 percent of respondents reported.

“The most commonly reported behavior in this survey is name-calling, with 32% of teens saying they have been called an offensive name online or on their cellphone,” according to the Pew survey. “Smaller shares say they have had false rumors spread about them online (22%) or have been sent explicit images they didn’t ask for (17%).”

“Some 15% of teens say they have experienced someone other than a parent constantly asking them where they are, what they’re doing or who they’re with, while 10% say they have been physically threatened and 7% of teens say they have had explicit images of them shared without their consent.”


“In total, 28% of teens have experienced multiple types of cyberbullying.”
