  The convenience of social media has also enabled its misuse, potentially
resulting in toxic behavior. Nearly 66% of internet users have observed online
harassment, and 41% claim personal experience, with 18% facing severe forms of
online harassment. This toxic communication has a significant impact on the
well-being of young individuals, affecting mental health and, in some cases,
resulting in suicide. These communications exhibit complex linguistic and
contextual characteristics, making recognition of such narratives challenging.
In this paper, we provide a multimodal dataset of toxic social media
interactions between confirmed high school students, called ALONE (AdoLescents
ON twittEr), along with descriptive explanation. Each instance of interaction
includes tweets, images, emoji and related metadata. Our observations show that
individual tweets do not provide sufficient evidence for toxic behavior, and
meaningful use of context in interactions can enable highlighting or
exonerating tweets with purported toxicity.
