Abstract
Teachers, health care professionals, and parents are aware of technology as an influential factor in adolescents’ experiences. The internet and online tools, like social media, inform norms surrounding peer to peer communication, relationships, and sex. Some experiences can aid a youth in strengthening their own values and social identity by providing information and support; however, these same tools can expose youth to harm in a way that is hard for parents and professionals to monitor. Seeing or experiencing victimization can have long-term impacts on health, wellbeing, and general perceptions of safety. Informing ourselves about these tools, teaching youth how to protect themselves, and offering validating support to those experiencing victimization is a community endeavor that we explore in this chapter.
