Abstract or Description

This report presents our findings on how Filipino youth identify, experience, and respond to bullying and harassment on social media.

(1) Bullying and harassment on social media are shaped by how the youth enact different kinds of relationships through their use of polymedia, that is, the integrated communicative environment that emerges from the mixing and matching of the different features of social media.

(2) Filipino youth characterize bullying and harassment on social media as an intersection of three key dimensions: targets, acts and, spaces. We thus need to account for this by rethinking our understanding of how young people identify and experience them.

(3) Several factors influence how the youth are impacted by and cope with social media bullying and harassment: individual personality, social norms, and the individual’s relationship with technology.

(4) Responding to the challenge of social media bullying and harassment requires the collective response of platforms, the youth, and local communities (i.e. schools and guardians).
