A new Pew Internet Research Project reports that 80% of teens use social media everyday and more than 22% are using it more than 10 times a day. Facebook and Twitter rely on users to report dangerous or threatening behavior, while Tumblr offers a pop-up full of resources when certain words are flagged in posts. Now, a suicide prevention group, Forefront, is working with social media sites to better monitor for posts by troubled users to help prevent suicide and violence. It is increasingly important to have online resources available to people in crisis and this program is essential to helping other young people recognize the online signs of someone in distress. -- Sandy Hook Promise
