As social media continues to play a significant role in the lives of students, schools are facing a growing threat: online harassment and bullying. A new report from the RAND Corporation sheds light on the issue, exploring the impact of social media threats on K-12 schools and identifying practical solutions to mitigate these risks. The study delves into the complex dynamics of online interactions, where students can be both victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying. By examining the experiences of schools that have successfully addressed these challenges, the report offers actionable recommendations for educators, policymakers, and parents seeking to create safer online environments for students.
