A recent survey finds that many girls 13 to 18 have been sexually harrassed online…
The project — which collected data from more than 1,200 girls aged 13 to 18 — found that 86 percent of girls surveyed said they could chat online without their parents’ knowledge. The study also found that 75 percent of the girls reported being given Internet rules by their parents, and 43 percent reported breaking those rules at least once. Also, 30 percent of the girls surveyed reported that they had been sexually harassed in an online chat room.
The girls also reportedly may give out personal information in chats because they feel that they are safe at home and don’t realize how easily that information can be used to find them.
