Relational aggression among teens, which includes attempts to damage someone’s reputation, can be especially hard when paired with cyberbullying. Here’s how parents can support kids.
A high school senior recounted the past few weeks to me, trying to find the point where everything went wrong. She read through old text messages and dissected all her social media posts as well as those from her old friend group. If she could just find a way to convince them to take her back, she thought, she might save her senior year from ruin. The friend group breakup was swift and played out both at a party and on social media.
While female-identifying students report double the rate of rumors than male-identifying students and just under twice the rate of social exclusion, these issues affect students regardless of gender identity. Teens are using maladaptive strategies, such as spreading rumors and targeting certain peers, to manage conflict and cope with negative social interactions.
