* Thank you for your interest in this presentation. Please note that
analyses included herein are preliminary. More recent, finalized
analyses can be found in: Ybarra, M., & Mitchell, K. How risky are
social networking sites? A comparison of places online where youth
sexual solicitation and harassment occurs. Pediatrics.

of content creation in 2006 (Lenhart, Madden, Magill et al.,
2007)
Girls are more likely to post photos (54% v
40%)
Boys are more likely to post video (19% v
10%)
3. Roadmap for today’s discussion
Unwanted sexual solicitation and
harassment
Definitions
What are the prevalence rates over time?
What is the influence SNS have?
How do the rates online compare to those
offline?
Are there other factors that we need to be
aware of?

10. Internet harassment
What Youth Said…
Boy, 14: “I have my own … website and I have my own page
on it and someone posted something bad about me on it.”
Boy, 15: “I was playing a first person shooter game and
unintentionally offended this person who became very serious
and began to threaten me by saying if this was real life he would
physically harm me. [It happened because he] was unable to
accept this was just a game.”

Defining Bullying
We say a young person is being bullied or harassed
when someone else or a group of people repeatedly
hits, kicks, threatens, or says nasty or unpleasant
things to them. Another example is when no one
ever talks to them. These things can happen at
school, online, or other places young people hang
out. It is not bullying when two young people of
about the same strength fight or tease each other.

20. Synopsis
The prevalence rate of Internet harassment appears to
be stable.
SNS users are not significantly more likely to be
harassed now in SNS then they were in 2006.
School is by far the most common place youth report
being bullied (31%) versus elsewhere (e.g., 13% online)
The majority (59%) of Internet harassment comes from
other minors
Youth who report being harassed online are signficnatly
more likely to also report a myriad of concurrent
psychosocial problems offline too.
22. What Youth Said…
Girl, 14: “I was chatting on the Internet and this guy just
popped up in an Instant Message and started talking really dirty
to me and saying things that I had never heard of before. He
told me he was 30 years old and then he said, ‘LOL’ (laugh out
loud).”
Girl, 12: “I went into the chatroom and they asked me if I
wanted to have cybersex. I was asking them what kind of music
they liked and stuff.”
Boy, 11, who was playing an online game with a man, 20: “He
asked me something personal, something about a man’s
privates.”
Quotes taken from the Youth Internet Safety Survey – 2 report (Wolak, Finkelhor,
Mitchell, 2006)
23. Defining unwanted sexual solicitation
on the Internet
Someone tried to get me to talk about sex online
when I did not want to.
Someone online asked me for sexual information
about myself when I did not want to tell the person,
e.g., really personal questions, like what my body
looks like or sexual things I have done.
Someone asked me to do something sexual when I
was online that I did not want to do.
24. Unwanted sexual solicitation:
Prevalence rates over time
From YISS1 to YISS2, the prevalence rate of
unwanted sexual solicitation decreased from
19% to 13% (Mitchell, Wolak, Finkelhor, 2006).
In GuwM, 15% reported solicitation at baseline,
13% at follow-up
Frequent solicitation: 3.4% reported being
harassed monthly at baseline, 3.4% at follow-up
Continuity of solicited youth over time
6% reported solicitation at baseline and follow-up
8% reported solicitation at baseline only
7% reported solicitation at follow-up only
26. Unwanted sexual solicitation: Who is
the solicitor?
Based upon data from the YISS2 (Wolak, Mitchell,
Finkelhor, 2006).
43%: 17 years of age and younger
30%: 18-25 years of age
9%: 26+ years of age
18%: don’t know
Roughly half (43%) of sexual solicitations
come from other minors

The following question is about your experiences at
school. In the past 12 months, did the following
happen to you while you were at school?
Someone tried to get me to talk about sex when I did not
want to.
Someone asked me for sexual information about myself
when I did not want to tell the person, e.g., really personal
questions, like what my body looks like or sexual things I
have done.
Someone asked me to do something sexual that I did not

31. Impact of unwanted sexual solicitation
Across studies, about one in three solicited
youth report feeling very/extremely upset
(or afraid) because of the incident:
YISS1: 26%
YISS2: 31%
GuwM: 39% (at Wave 2)
Youth solicited in social networking sites (42%)
are no more likely than youth solicited
elsewhere (35%) to be distressed by the
incident (p=0.50).

33. Synopsis : The picture is very similar
The rate of unwanted sexual solicitation overall is stable.
SNS users are no more likely to be solicited in an SNS
now then the were in 2006.
Similar percentages of youth report being targeted by
solicitation/harassment at school (13%) and online
(10%)
Almost half (43%) of sexual solicitations come from other
minors. The overwhelming majority of targeted youth
are 14 years of age and older.
Youth reporting being targeted by unwanted sexual
solicitation are significantly more likely to also report a
myriad of concurrent psychosocial problems offline.
34. Implications for professionals working
with youth
The data do not support the assertion that youth
are more likely to be sexually solicited or
harassed online than offline.
We need to do more to provide support and
intervention for youth who are targeted by peer
aggression, both online and offline.
Most youth do not operate in a ‘vacuum’. What
are we doing to treat children more globally and
provide services that address all of their needs?
35. Final thoughts
The majority of youth who use the Internet have
positive experiences and report that none of
these types of exposures occur.
Youth having problems online are more likely to
have problems offline. We need to be concerned
about those reporting problems over time.
We need to focus on the child, not the online
application.
Notas del editor
Youth were asked to name the two activities that they spent the most of their time online doing. In 2006, 16% said SNS was one of the 2 activities; in 2007, this jumped to 34%.
For both boys and girls, the % who said SNS were one of the top two things they spend the majority of their time online doing, increased 2-3 fold
Ditto for age. Note here that you can see trends over time the general difference between the red and yellow lines) as well as by age group over time (e.g., comparison of points at 2006 and 2007 by age, 29% of 14 year olds said SNS were in their top-two in 2006 compared to 45% in 2007)
Rates appear to be stabilizing. For both ‘ever harassed’ in the last year, and ‘harassed monthly or more often’, the same percentage of youth reported being affected in 2006 and in 2007.
Similar to an increase in SNS use (i.e., an increase in the % who said SNS was in their top two most time consuming activities online), we see an increase in the % of youth who report being harassed in an SNS. Note however, that the increase of % harassed is less than the % increase in SNS use overall (i.e., a 2-fold increase in harassment would be 18% (9% X 2), not 16%)
Among those who said SNS was one of the two online activities they spent doing most, the rate of harassment *somewhere* online decreased from 61% to 50%. In SNS, the rate remained relatively stable (35% in 2006, 37% in 2007)
In order to make direct comparisons between environments, you need to have a measure that is exactly parallel.
Using a parallel measure of bullying across environments, 31% say they are bullied at school vs. 13% online and 6% via cell phones.
Among those harassed, between 1 in 3 and 1 in 4 are upset. The good news – that means 2 in 3, or 3 in 4 are not upset by what happens. We need to figure out how to identify these kids who are upset to make sure they have the support they need. And, we need to acknowledge that the vast majority of youth are not affected by being harassed.
Youth who are harassed online are significantly more likely than non-harassed youth to report other problems, including being bullied over time, social problems, depressive symptomatology (for boys), alcohol and other drug use, and problems with anger. In short – these youth have a lot going on.
Note: these three things query a wide range of things from the relatively benign to the serious. They do NOT all represent solicitations for *sex*.
For both the YISS and the GuwM, we note a decrease in solicitation frequency. Note that we also see a stable frequency among those reporting frequent (i.e., monthly or more often) solicitation.
We now have data from four samples that allow us to map the frequency of unwanted sexual solicitation. When we do so (above), we very clearly see a pattern in which those youth 14-15 years of age and older are much more likely than their younger peers to be involved. Note that this age group is also normatively and developmentally appropriately becoming curious about sex.
As the % of youth who report SNS are in their top two most time consuming activities increased two-fold, so too did the % of youth reporting being solicited in SNS (note that the percentage is actually less than two-fold, which would be 8% (4% X 2).
Among those who report that SNS is where they spend the majority of their time (i.e., is in their ‘top two’), the rate of solicitation decreased from 27% to 22%. The rate in SNS remained stable (15%).
Note that this measure is parallel to the question about online solicitation. Similar to the bullying question – in order to compare rates across environments, we need to have parallel measures.
Despite what most people might assume, more youth report unwanted solicitation at school (17%) than online (13%).
About 1-3 or 1-4 youth who are solicited are upset by the experience. The good news: the vast majority of targeted youth are unaffected. We need to figure out a way to identify the youth who are upset and make sure they have the support and access to services they need.
Youth who report an unwanted sexual solicitation are significantly more likely than their unsolicited peers to also report a poor relationship with their caregiver, being bullied offline, having symptoms of depression (for boys), substance and alcohol use, delinquent behavior (including carrying a weapon to school in the past 30 days), and life challenge. In short: these youth have a lot going on.
Think about integrating online mental health services with online applications that youth have adopted. For example, see SNS as an opportunity. Before the Internet, youth who were troubled were often nameless, voiceless, and difficult to reach. Now, with SNS, they are easier to *see*. What if we integrated online services such as RAINN.com’s online, real-time chat resources for those in crises with popular SNS…? (and by ‘integrated’, I mean more than having a profile on the SNS)
