UNITED NATIONS, June 7 (Xinhua) -- Eight out of ten 18-year-olds believe young people are in danger of being sexually abused or taken advantage of online, and more than five out of 10 think friends participate in risky behaviours while using the internet, said a new study by the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) on Tuesday.
The report, ""Perils and Possibilities: Growing Up Online,"" is based on an international opinion poll of more than 10,000 18-year-olds from 25 countries, and it revealed young people's perspectives on the risks they face growing up in an increasingly connected world.
""The internet and mobile phones have revolutionized young people's access to information, but the poll findings show just how real the risk of online abuse is for girls and boys,"" said UNICEF's associate director of child protection, Cornelius Williams.
""Globally, one in three internet users is a child. Today's findings provide important insights from young people themselves,"" Williams said. ""UNICEF aims to amplify adolescents' voices to help address online violence, exploitation and abuse, and make sure that children can take full advantage of the benefits the internet and mobile phones offer.""
The new report found that adolescents appear confident with their own ability to stay safe, with nearly 90 percent of interviewees believing they can avoid online dangers.
Approximately six out of 10 said meeting new people online is either somewhat or very important to them, but only 36 percent strongly believe they can tell when people are lying about who they are online.
More than two-thirds of girls, 67 percent strongly agree they would be worried if they received sexual comments or requests over the internet, this compares to 47 percent of boys. When online threats do occur, more adolescents turn to friends than parents or teachers, but less than half strongly agree they know how to help a friend facing an online risk.
According to the new report, other findings included:
-- Two-thirds of 18-year-olds in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean believe children and adolescents are in danger of being sexually abused or taken advantage of online. This compares to 33 percent polled in the Middle East and North Africa.
-- Two-thirds of interviewees in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean either believe strongly, or somewhat, that friends put themselves at risk online, compared to 33 percent in the United States and United Kingdom.
-- Eighteen-year-olds in the United States and United Kingdom are most confident they can avoid online dangers with 94 percent strongly or somewhat agreeing they can protect themselves on social media. In the Middle East and North Africa only 41 percent strongly agree and an additional 37 percent agree somewhat.
-- Adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa appear to value meeting new people online most, with 79 percent saying it is either very or somewhat important. In the United States and United Kingdom 63 percent say it is not very, or not at all important to meet new people online.
-- In Central European countries, 63 per cent of interviewees strongly agree they would tell a friend if they felt threatened online, compared to 46 percent who would tell their parent. Only 9 percent would tell a teacher.
To engage children and adolescents in ending violence online, UNICEF is launching #ReplyforAll, which is part of its global End Violence Against Children initiative. #ReplyforAll puts adolescents' front and centre as messengers and advocates to keep themselves safe online.
