Editor's Notes
- Young people are increasingly using new technologies - cell phone text messaging, chat rooms, online games, instant messaging and the Internet - as part of their regular socializing activities. An astonishing 99% of Canadian teens have access to the Internet and 70% of youth online use instant messaging to chat with friends. ( The Canadian Interactive Report: Understanding Canada and the Internet, Ipsos Reid Canada, 2004) These new opportunities to connect come with new risks of being harassed or bullied or exposed to sexual predators online. In 2003, some 25 % of girls reported having contact with a stranger online that made them feel unsafe. Cyber-bullying in the form of intimidation in chat rooms, threats and harassment through instant messages, or hateful web sites, (for example, sites that let viewers vote for the ugliest kid in school), present new challenges to keep teens safe online.
