New Rochelle, NY, February 19, 2015--More than 1 in 4 females have experienced cyberbullying in college, increasing their risk for depression. Female college students who acted as cyberbullies were also more likely to report problem alcohol use, according to a new study published in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking March 19, 2015.

In the article "Cyberbullying, Depression, and Problem Alcohol Use in Female College Students: A Multisite Study," authors Ellen Selkie, MD, MPH and Ya-Fen Chan, PhD University of Washington, Seattle, Rajitha Kota, MPH, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, and Megan Morena, MD, MSEd, MPH, Seattle Children's Research Institute, explored the relationship between involvement in cyberbullying--as either the person doing the bullying or being bullied--and depression or problem alcohol use.

"When counseling college students, inquiring about cyberbullying during intake assessments may help clinicians uncover stressors to be targeted during treatment," says Editor-in-Chief Brenda K. Wiederhold, PhD, MBA, BCB, BCN, Interactive Media Institute, San Diego, California and Virtual Reality Medical Institute, Brussels, Belgium.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. (TheStreet) -- Facebook (FB - Get Report) wants to run the world's swap meets and flea markets.

The world's largest social network on Tuesday announced features designed to help people sell items online. The features are part ofFacebook Groups, the social-networking communities with a collective monthly audience of more than 700 million people.

Unlike Craigslist, which is open to anyone, the items being bought and sold would be exchanged between people within an affinity group, or a user's friends. Facebook, which won't be processing payments, is betting that such familiarity will make the groups more accessible and popular.

Those participating would join "For Sale" groups that would then select a "Sell" option when posting an item. In selecting the new post type, the seller would provide a description, set a price, identify a pickup or delivery location, and then mark anitem as sold.

The update, which is rolling out to groups over the next few months, adds much-needed structure toanarea where previously there had been almost none.

"There's already been lots of selling on Facebook, but it's been casual and informal," Gartner analyst Brian Blau said, "meaning that people simply make a post saying I'm selling something and they manage the process themselves."

Social networking website Reddit, Tuesday announced restrictions on posting explicit content at its site.

Reddit said it will take down photos and videos that contain explicit content on its website if it is posted without the permission of the person in the image.

"If a photograph, video, or digital image of you in a state of nudity, sexual excitement, or engaged in any act of sexual conduct, is posted or linked to on reddit without your permission, it is prohibited on reddit," the social network website said.

The revised privacy policy will go into effect on March 10, 2015.

The latest change in content policy comes about six months after hackers leaked nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities and posted it on social sites like Twitter and Reddit. Many people had raised their voices against these social networking sites for not policing their sites.

The site earlier gave freedom to forum moderators to decide on what to post on their forums.

Earlier, Google Inc. (GOOG,GOOGL) announced a major change in its policy over adult material at its blog-publishing service Blogger. The search giant made it clear it would not allow sexually explicit materials on Blogger.

Bloggers would not be able to publicly share images and video that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity on Blogger starting March 23, 2015.
