Notes de l'éditeur
- Hello! My name is Rebecca Lansbury. I am a queer HS senior interning at the Women ’s Media Center in New York City. I’m an active tumblr and I use social networks for the majority of my social connections. It’s a great way to get your voice hear, no matter what your politics. But youth who vocalize their opinions are often the first to be bullied, especially online. Girls outnumber boys of those bullied and in the wake of teen suicides and cyberhate, we created this webinar to both raise awareness of the issue and find solutions.
- Different generations use the web for different activities. As you an see from this Forrester research study, 26% of Older Boomers, ages 51-61, are spectators online, meaning that they are reading blogs, watch peer generated videos and/or listen to pod casts.
- When it comes to young teens, youth, and young adults, our activities online all involve social networking or blogging in some way. Ages 12-26 either create and express themselves by putting their voices and opinions out there, read other ’s opinions, or comment on existing content.
- Today we are going to focus on four of the most populated sites among 12-26 year olds: YouTube, Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter. Notably, they are also the most popular sites for cyberbullying activities.
- In February 2010, the Cyberbullying Research Center surveyed a random sample of 4,441 children and teenagers from ages 10-18. The samples were taken from 37 different schools in the southern U.S. As you can see, 1/5 th of the kids interviewed for the survey have been cyberbullied. What is even more shocking is that 17% of all the kids interviewed had been bullied in the previous month. Only 3% had not.
- In 2010 the Cyberbullying Research Center conducted a survey in which the sample size was 4374 youth ages 10-18. Overwhelmingly, the adolescent girls reported being cyberbullied. An unrelated 2011 study found that girls who bullied others by age 8 have an increased risk of becoming teenage mothers.
- Getting down to specific social networks, the research firm Ipsos surveyed a total of 18,687 citizens in 24 countries via an online survey about their experiences on Facebook. One in ten parents online (12%) around the world say their child has experienced cyberbullying. One in four (24%) of those parents say they know a child in their community who has experienced cyberbulllying. Of those, 60% say the children experienced the harassing behavior on social networking sites like Facebook.
- To give you an idea of how pervasive the problem is among young women, we ’ll tell the story of Natalie Far-zen-ha. in February of 2012, Natalie became a victim of cyberbullying just minutes after creating a profile on Facebook and began to contemplate suicide due to the abuse.
- The bullying continues and, for girls, usually involves personal and appearance-based hate comments. Jessi Slaughter, 11 yrs/o became a victim after posting a video in response to internet hate she had been getting previously. Because of the video, Jessi became an even bigger target for horrendous cyberbullying that then transformed into real life harrassment. Commenter ’s circulated Jessi's real name, phone number, address, links to all her social networking accounts, prank called her, spammed her Facebook and MySpace accounts, had pizzas delivered to her house, were considering sending call girls off Craigslist to the address. Jessi was placed under police protection.
- In 2012 Issa Rae won the Shorty Awards (which honor the best in social media and Internet content) for her popular web series, “Awkward Black Girl.” When she announced the accomplishment via Facebook and Twitter, the response she got from, as she describes, “Internet-equivalent of the Tea Party”, appeared and began brutally attacking her and her web series with racist and misogynistic comments. Issa resonded by retweeting and calling out her attackers.
- At the moment, Twitter is 53% Female. Many anti-cyberbullying twitters and hashtags have been created in an attempt to combat it.
- And the newest social network in our bunch isn ’t any kinder. When Tumblr was first founded in 2007, it was intended to be a space for those to easily blog and share content. Tagged a micro-blogging site, Tumblr bridged the gap between Facebook and Twitter and was adopted by many teenage girls for it’s ease of use and female community. To this day, Tumblr’s users are 54% female. As the population of tumblr grew, however, so did the amount of free floaters, who did not have a blog and who saw an easy target in the largely feminist and queer-safe space. 54% female updated on May 25 by QuantCast.com
- If you do a tumblr search, you ’ll find a large community of young women with strong opinions who make issue or theme-related Tumblr blogs. Following the bullying trend, women with strong opinions are often called out, trolled, harassed and receive the most hate comments. As a result of all the hate on tumblr, blogs have been established as an online-resource for those contemplating suicide.
- Compassion Alert is one of those blogs. If a reader reports that a tumblr user is having a bad night, CA will ask their followers to cheer up the person.
- If it is reported that a user is really upset and having semi-suicidal thought, CA alert will call this an ”Orange Alert”, meaning that there is the possibility of a suicidal risk.
- If the alert is either a “Red Alert” or an “Urgent Red Alert, that means that the suicide risk is high or definite.
- Finally, if you ’ re being bullied, here are some tips to consider: If someone bullies you, remember that your reaction is usually exactly what the bully wants. It gives him or her power over you. Don ’t retaliate . Getting back at the bully turns you into one and reinforces the bully’s behavior. Help avoid a whole cycle of aggression. Most sites give you the power when it comes to blocking. If someone is messaging you, there is usually an option to block their communications to you. Other sites, like Tumblr, that give you an anonymous option, which blocked users can access to continue their harassment, can be turned off. You can save the evidence by taking a screen shot. On a mac, you press either comman+shift+4 to be able to control what exactly you ’re taking a picture of, or command+shift+3 to take a picture of your entire screen. On a PC, you can press the Print Screen button, located in the upper right hand corner of your keyboard, to take a picture of your entire screen and then, if you want to, you can paste it in Paint to crop it. Along with the option of blocking, sites also usually have a place where you can report a user or a photo/post that might have been posted. What techniques have you used to combat bullying? At this time we are going to open the chat to any questions you all may have.
