Cyberbullying And Sexual Shaming

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/01/28/cyberbullying

In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter,” the sexually-shamed woman wore her shame with a capital A.  But that three hundred and fifty years ago.  The new scarlet letter is harder to shake.

Digital images, sexual images, taken surreptitiously or otherwise, and posted and shared online.  It’s potent tool of teenage bullying, in particular.  Digital, online, sexual shaming.

A teenage New York high school reporter has brought it vividly, disturbingly, to the public eye.  She’s with us.
This hour, On Point:  teenage cyberbullying and the new scarlet letter – sexual shaming online.
