Cyberbullying uses new communication technology to torment others. Hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet, cyberbullies are able to hurl threats, spread rumors, trash reputations, and damage fragile egos, usually without being caught. The incredible scope of the Internet means that a cyberbully can reach millions with the click of a mouse, and or the click of the send button. Cyberbullies are not age discriminate.
Knowing what NOT to do is the most effective way to STOP CYBERBULLIES!
How Cyberbullying works: The cyberbully uses the Internet or cell phones to taunt, harass, insult, threaten or intimidate another. Using instant or text messaging, emails, digital images and webpages, the cyberbully's assault can vary from cruel jokes to racial, religious, or cultural slurs, to embarrassing photographs. All of which can be very harmful and have lasting effects on ones life.
Parents if you notice a big difference in your child's behaviors, activities and general attitude and actions please talk to them. If you suspect any kind of problems please contact a professional for support and help.Mission of this site:
