Social Media Platforms

Researchers conducted a content analysis of nine social media platforms’ bullying policies based on the American School Counseling Association position statement on bullying to determine the content of the social media platforms’ bullying policies as they connect to school counseling guidelines. Main findings indicated (a) common terms are often unclear and vary, (b) language in policies was mainly negative and punitive, (c) cultural awareness was limited to anti-discrimination, and (d) mental health concerns were addressed but rarely associated with cyberbullying. School counselors can utilize these findings to inform training and prevention efforts to build and maintain safe schools and aid students impacted by cyberbullying.
