Cyberbullying
MTV's
A Thin Line campaign was developed to empower you to
identify, respond to, and stop the spread of digital abuse in your
life and amongst your peers. The campaign is built on the understanding
that there's a "thin line" between what may begin as a
harmless joke and something that could end up having a serious impact
on you or someone else. We know no generation has ever had to deal
with this, so we want to partner with you to help figure it out.
On-air, online and on your cell, we hope to spark a conversation
and deliver information that helps you draw your own digital line.
