Instagram is the top platform for cyberbullying, according to Ditch the Label’s recent United Kingdom (UK) survey. Ditch the Label is one of the UK's most innovative anti-bullying charities and has started working in the US as well. According to the research, 50% of 12-20-year-olds have been cyberbullied, and 42% of those had the experience on Instagram. Facebook was a close second at 37%, followed by 31% on Snapchat, and only 10% on YouTube. Half the teens were bullied about their appearance, while 27% had photos and videos shared without their approval. One in ten were bullied within just a week of the survey, showing an immediate need for the fight for positivity on social media. Check out the Ditch the Label website for resources such as how to get help for individuals being cyberbullied, and to learn about volunteer opportunities.
