Teens are navigating sexting, nudes, and online image sharing in complex ways—law, consent, tech abuse, and exploitation demand education, not fear.

Despite concerns, bullying—especially cyberbullying—has remained stable or declined post-COVID; clear definitions, education, and early support are key.

Teens’ online actions can impact safety, reputation, privacy, legality, academics, jobs, housing, and mental health—digital choices matter long-term.

The internet offers great benefits, but parents must stay aware of risks like cyberbullying, exploitation, hate speech, dark patterns, and online shaming.

Teens are overwhelmed by pressure to send nudes—so The White Hatter created a digital tool to help them push back against unsolicited image requests.
