Poll: Internet Bullying

Take our poll and let us know if you've ever been a target of online bullying or harassment.

In a digital age, it might come at no surprise to learn that much of today's bullying isn't the physical kind that involves the new kid being pushed into a locker at school.

A new Associated Press-MTV poll of youth in their teens and early 20s finds that 56 percent of them have been the target of some type of online harassment, bullying or taunting, according to Associated Press reports.

The amount of young people who frequently see people being mean to each other on social networking sites increased to 55 percent, from 45 percent in 2009, according to the same report.
