“…Many studies provide evidence that youth are more likely to cyberbully others if they have been victims of cyberbullying themselves (Bauman, 2010;Marcum, Higgins, Freiburger, & Ricketts, 2013;Mishna, Khoury-Kassabri, Gadalla, & Daciuk, 2012;Navarro & Jasinski, 2013;Vandebosch & Van Cleemput, 2009). Such studies support a growing body of research suggesting that engaging in reckless behavior, in general, increase children's chances of becoming victims (Reyns, Burek, Henson, & Fisher, 2013;Schreck, 1999). In conjunction with previous literature, we hypothesize (H6) youth who cyberbullied others were more likely to be bullied than to those who did not cyberbully others.…”

Bullying on the pixel playground: Investigating risk factors of cyberbullying at the intersection of children's online-offline social lives. AbstractAlthough cyberbullying as a serious social problem has received significant attention within the mass media as well as among researchers, experiences of cyberbullying among children in the U.S. are still occurring (Dean, 2012;Salazar, 2010). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social factors (i.e., sociability, social networking site use, Internet use via cell phones), risky online behaviors (i.e., lying about age, sexting, and harassing others), children's emotional attachment to interactions within SNS, and parental involvement in children's online social lives on the likelihood of being victims of cyberbullying as well as offline bullying. We found that increased sociability and parental involvement decreased the likelihood of being both cyberbullied and being bullied offline; daily SNS use, Internet use via cell phones, emotional attachment to interactions within SNS, and engaging in risky online behaviors increased the likelihood of being both cyberbullied and bullied offline. The findings suggest (1) cyberbullying is not categorically distinct from offline bullying; (2) future research is necessary to explore the qualitative impact of various risky online behaviors on both online and offline bullying; and (3) research is necessary to further understand the qualitative dimensions of parental involvement and emotional investment in online social life in decreasing online and offline bullying.

“…Mitchell et al (2012) found that 2.5% of participants reported appearing in or creating sexually provocative images to be sent to others and 7.1% reported that they had received provocative images from others. In a sample of Internet-recruited adolescents and young adults by Van Manen (2010), 19% of teenagers (ages [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and 32% of young adults (ages 20-26) reported sending a nude or semi-nude picture or video of themselves to someone via text or e-mail. In this same study, 31% of teenagers and 46% of young adults reported receiving a nude or semi-nude picture or video from someone else.…”

-Cell phones have emerged as one of the most vital communication gargets worldwide. Nearly every family in the general population possess at least one cell phone. In Kenya, cell phone use by high school students within the school premises, remains outlawed. Educationists and parents have continued to associate poor performance in Language subjects with the increasing use of cell phones due to overuse of the short message service. In the recent past, cases of sexual promiscuity have been reported to be on the rise. There have been incidents of students from various schools in Nairobi and its environs being arrested engaging in sexual activities in clubs and buses. Teenage pregnancy and H.I.V prevalence remains high among the adolescents and youth. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between use of cell phones and adolescent sexual behavior in Nairobi. The study adopted exploratory sequential mixed method design. A sample of 200 high school students was selected through simple random sampling technique. Qualitative data was collected using focused group discussion and analyzed by use of thematic analysis. Quantitative data was collected by use of questionnaires and analyzed by use of simple descriptive statistics. The findings show high prevalence of masturbation, pornography, multiple sex partners and frequent sexual intercourse among adolescents who engage in sexting in Kenya.

“…The concern surrounding sexting is being questioned by academic research which suggests that the harm might be exaggerated and the punishment excessive (Chalfen 2009;Price 2010;Albury and Crawford 2012;Draper 2012;Karaian 2012Karaian , 2013Long 2011;Mitchell et al 2014). Most researchers agree that more empirical study and theoretical consideration of sexting is required in order to understand this emergent phenomenon (Weiss and Samenow 2010;Drouin et al 2013;Reyns et al 2013). Many questions are raised by the increasing visibility of sexting.…”
