Since the textual contents on online social media are highly unstructured, informal, and often misspelled, existing research message-level offensive language detection cannot accurately detect content. Meanwhile, user-level offensiveness seems a more feasible approach but it is an under researched area.

Through this we identified 42 unique features that mapped to theoretically derived conceptual framework teen safety strategies balanced between parental control (through monitoring, restriction, and active mediation) self-regulation self-monitoring, impulse control, risk-coping). found strongly favored promote through monitoring restricting teens'...

We cannot fully protect adolescents from experiencing online risks; however, we can aim to better understand how risk experiences impact teens, factors that contribute or prevent teens exposure risk, as well psychological harm in spite of exposure. Through a web-based survey study 75 the US, develop and empirically validate theoretical model adolescent resilience presence risks. show evidence is key factor protecting risks, even when exhibit high levels Internet addiction.
