Daily Digit: Cyberbullying is a problem for many teens, especially girls

Daily Digit is the story behind the numbers that make our world work. Today we look at cyberbullying. According to a new study, nearly 60 percent of teens have experienced cyberbullying, with name-calling and rumor-spreading most common. Girls are much more likely to be the subject of rumors or to receive unwanted explicit pictures. Parents are also worried about their teens getting bullied, as well as exchanging explicit images. Ninety percent of teens believe online harassment is a problem. And majorities also believe key potential allies, such as teachers, social media companies and politicians, have failed to address the issue.
