New Maps Show the Breadth of the American Bullying Problem

The team at PA Requirements created a map that displays the prevalence of bullies and bullying among American children. The team used data from the National Survey of Children’s Health to color-code states based on the number of children who have been bullied and engaged in bullying behavior. Bullying can take many forms, but it’s largely categorized as physical bullying, cyberbullying, verbal bullying, and social or relational bullying, like exclusion.

Instagram is introducing a bunch of new tools to tackle cyberbullying within the Instagram app. The social media company’s move comes in the month of October, which is National Bullying Prevention Month. Instagram's anti-bullying tools have been especially designed keeping in mind the younger audience that is targeted the most when it comes to bullying.  


Instagram is currently testing the features, one out of which is automatically hiding comments that are similar to those that have already been reported. By tapping a ‘'view hidden comments’' prompt, the hidden comments can be revealed. A message will also be displayed, explaining the reason behind the functionality: “These comments were hidden because they look similar to others that have been reported or may contain spam. People can still tap to view them.” 


Instagram already had an automated warning system that would alert a user if they tried posting a comment that Instagram’s system would detect as offensive. The hidden comments feature is just a more effective addition to it. It will also follow the same process, but will actively hide the problematic comments and keep them out of view. It is an effective approach to limit exposure and keep the content across the platform more civil.

Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is a lot worse than the old days of playground bullying. For one thing it is more permanent, it can get out of control much faster, and it can grow much bigger. It can also have dire consequences - kids are often pushed to the breaking point by severe and unrelenting cyberbullying. Unfortunately the refrain is often tone deaf after such incidents - just turn off the computer or put down the phone and everything will be OK. Unfortunately cyberbullies can do real and lasting damage to a victim’s reputation that can have real and lasting consequences outside of the internet. And just turning off the computer or cell phone to escape isn’t an option - kids need it to do homework and projects and even stay connected with friends. Cyberbullying is a pervasive problem that is unique because of the new age of technology it depends on to happen. New technology requires a new solution. Learn more about preventing cyberbullying from this infographic!
