Teens are being bullied almost constantly on Instagram

According to a recent Pew survey, 59 percent of teens have been bullied online, and according to a 2017 survey conducted by Ditch the Label, a nonprofit anti-bullying group, more than one in five 12-to-20-year-olds experience bullying specifically on Instagram. “Instagram is a good place sometimes,” said Riley, a 14-year-old who, like most kids in this story, asked to be referred to by her first name only, “but there’s a lot of drama, bullying, and gossip to go along with it.”

I’m surprised that Instagram doesn’t have more controls in place to curb some of this behavior. When students are sending cease-and-desist letters, you know something is wrong.
