USA Bullying
Is there a lot of Bullying in USA? What is being done about those who do bully others?
Combination of face-to-face and online bullying may pack a powerful punch
Bullying and taunts that may have once stayed in the schoolyard increasingly spill over into text messages and social media. A new study shows that the combined effect of both face-to-face and cyber-bullying may have a powerful effect on adolescents, more than doubling the odds that victims show aggressive behaviors themselves such as verbal hostility, physical fighting and damaging property.

If you’ve been harassed online, you’re not alone. More than half of Americans say they’ve experienced toxic hate. In the U.S., 53 percent say they were subjected to hateful speech and harassment in 2018. And 37 percent reported severe attacks, including sexual harassment and stalking, according to a survey released Wednesday by the Anti-Defamation League. Ref. USAToday.
