A recent study published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE found that approximately 17% of adolescents surveyed from Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, the US, and the UK reported experiencing weight-related bullying online. The study focused on different types of recreational screen time and specifically examined six social media platforms.
