Teenagers who have not experienced some form of cyberbullying are in the minority, according to the Pew Research Center.

The research firm polled 743 US 13- to 17-year-olds in March and April and found that 59 percent have experienced some form of online abuse. Name-calling is the most common type of online bullying teens face.

Some 42 two percent of teens said they have been called offensive names online, 32 percent have been the subject of false rumors, and 25 percent have received unsolicited offensive images. Twenty-one percent have had someone other than a parent constantly harass them online about where they are, who they're with, or what they're doing; 16 percent have faced physical threats; and 7 percent have had explicit images of them shared online without their consent.

"The vast majority of teens (90 percent in this case) believe online harassment is a problem that affects people their age, and 63 percent say this is a major problem," Pew Senior Researcher Monica Anderson wrote in a Thursday blog post.

Most teens think their parents are doing a good job to address this issue, but say teachers, social media companies, and politicians could do better.

"Young people have an especially negative view of the way politicians are tackling the issue of cyberbullying," Anderson added. Seventy-nine percent of teens believe elected officials are doing a "fair" or "poor" job of addressing the problem.

While teen boys and girls are "equally likely" to be bullied online, females are more likely to be the subject of fake rumors and receive unsolicited explicit images, Pew found. Girls are also more likely to experience several different forms of online harassment.

Meanwhile, a separate Pew survey recently revealed that around half of teens worry they spend too much time on their mobile phones and have already taken steps to cut back on their phone use.
