Internet safety: adolescents' self-report.
We examined the association between adolescents' unsafe experience online, types of Internet activity, and safety practices using a questionnaire returned by 213 private school students (seventh through tenth grades) in spring 1999. One-fourth of respondents reported unsafe experiences. Types of unsafe experience varied with gender, Internet activity, and identity sharing.
