AN EPIDEMIC WITHIN A PANDEMIC: CYBERBULLYING IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

With a quick look into your waiting room, it’s evident that most tweens and teens are glued to an electronic device. They are most likely using some form of social media as a way to reach out to others or as a platform of self-expression while they wait for their appointment. There is so much to cover from discussing mood and anxiety to screening for substance use and physical aggression. However, realistically, you will not have time to discuss your patient’s social media use and screen for healthy cyber interactions.
