About 80 per cent of adolescents think young people are at risk of online sexual abuse or bullying.

That’s according to an opinion poll by the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) which gathered perspectives from more than 10,000 18-year-olds in 25 countries.

UNICEF has launched a campaign called #ReplyForAll which makes young people advocates for staying safe on the Internet or while using social media.
