paradise welcome back to "gma." and listen to a little coldplay. that song, "paradise," off their new album. it is out today. we'll hear a lot more about it in "pop news." good buzz about that. we turn to a surprising report on online bullying. lara? >> yeah, we want to talk about this. it's so important. name-calling, taunt. physical threats. we're not talking about the playground. we're talking about online bullying. in the latest issue of "glamour" magazine. a new survey.. women n re afraid than ever r fearing going online, fear of being attacked by people they don't know. ed dor cindi leive joins us. why is this happening more and more? >> we found in the survey that despite all of the efforts that social media platforor have made to makakthese places safer and kinder and more compassionate, everybody says, 93% of people

or getting worse. as to the questionon why itt happenen i think the most fundamental reason is that we have somehow come to believe it's okay to say in social media things you would never in a million years -- >> say in public. >> if you were walking down the street and someone came up to you and said, you'reregly. you would think, that person has a screw loose. >> why are you wearing that? it's hurtful. >> i thinknk on some level, we think this is the price to pay for living in the fully wired 21st century. it shouldn't be that way. we saw that it's important if you see something to say somemeing. so if yoyosee somebody ganging up on a woman or a man for that matter, you don't have to take on the troll or the attacker. that can actually be risky. post a simple thing like, a smiley face emoticon to the woman who is getting abused or a simple, ouch, just to show, listen, we've seen this.

some of the ththats are violent. 8% of women said they had been physically threatened with something like, you deserve to die. this is not just, i disagree with your opinion. > is it because you're faceless? nameless? there's no accountability? >> i think that's one of the reasons. the majority of people that do the bullying have been bullied. it's like any other kind of abuse. there's a cycle. if you have lived it, you promote it. >> kicking the dog and the d d bebemes vicious. >> yeah, exactly. sometimes it becomes a competitive thing. guys bond by posting ugly responses on a woman's site. not t public figure. a private person. on their facebook page. they'll tag people so tt others can see, oh, look how i messed with her. >> don't you wish there was a way that if you said something hurtful, your name popped up. your information popped up. so you had to be held accountable. >> i think saying something like, please, show some respect,

another woman, can be powerful. you can and shohod report it. it's dangerous. >> really interesting findings. i'm glad you did this study. it has to stop. >> i totally agree. thanks for having me on. >> thank you so much, cindi. let's get over to amy. >carrie fisher and the original "star wars" movie took the galaxy by storm 38 years ago. no rg she's back as general leia. in the eagerly antntipated movie, "star wars: the fofoe awakens" i sat down with her for one of the most entertaining interviews ever. sit back and enjoy. thank you for being with us. >> i wouldn't be anywhere else at this hoururxcept on tv. >> i appreciate that. you brought along a friend? >> i did. his tongue matches the sweater. > it's a good d ok. this iss gary. >> this is gary. he's very, very famous on twitter. >> he likes looking at himself. >> he really likes looking at himsmsf. wouldn't you if you looked like that?
