What Is Cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying is when someone uses technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. It happens on devices like smartphones, computers, tablets, and gaming systems. Cyberbullying hurts people, and in some cases is against the law.

Sometimes cyberbullying can be easy to spot - for example, if your child shows you a text, comment, or post that is harsh, mean, or cruel. Other acts are less obvious, like posting someone's personal information, or using photos or videos that hurt or embarrass another person. Someone might make a fake account or screen name to harass and bully, so you don't know who the bully is.

What Are the Effects of Cyberbullying?

Kids have almost constant access to their devices, so cyberbullying is hard to escape. Kids and teens can feel like they never get a break and feel the effects very strongly.

Kids who are cyberbullied can struggle to concentrate in school, which can affect how well they do there. Cyberbullying that is severe, long-lasting, or happens a lot can cause anxiety, depression, and other stress-related disorders in victims and bullies. In rare cases, some kids have attempted or died from suicide.

Cyberbullies also can be suspended or expelled from school or kicked off of sports teams. Depending on the severity of the cyberbullying, kids also might be in legal trouble.

What Are the Signs of Cyberbullying?

Many kids and teens who are cyberbullied don't want to tell a teacher, parent, or trusted adults, often because they feel ashamed or fear that their devices will be taken away at home.

Signs of cyberbullying vary, but may include:

being emotionally upset during or after using the Internet or the phone

being very secretive or protective of one's digital life

spending more time than usual in their room

withdrawal from or lack of interest in family members, friends, and activities

avoiding school or group gatherings

slipping grades and "acting out" in anger at home

changes in mood, behavior, sleep, or appetite

suddenly wanting to stop using the computer or device

being nervous or jumpy when getting a message, text, or email

avoiding discussions about computer or phone activities

How Can Parents Help?

If your child is being cyberbullied

Offer comfort and support. Talking about any bullying experiences you had in your childhood might help your child feel less alone.

Let your child know that it's not their fault. Bullying says more about the bully than the victim. Praise your child for doing the right thing by talking to you about it. Remind your child you're in this together. Reassure your child that you'll figure out what to do.

Notify the school. Tell the principal, school nurse, or a counselor or teacher about the situation. Many schools, school districts, and after-school clubs have rules for responding to cyberbullying. These vary by district and state. But before reporting the problem, let your child know that you plan to do so, so that you can work out a plan that makes you both feel comfortable.

Encourage your child not to respond to cyberbullying. Doing so just makes the situation worse.

Keep records. Keep screen shots of the threatening messages, pictures, and texts. These can be used as evidence with the bully's parents, school, employer, or even the police.

Get help. If your child agrees, meeting with a therapist may help work through feelings. A counselor or mediator at school may work with your child alone or together with the bully.

Other things that may prevent future cyberbullying:

Block the bully. Most devices have settings that let you electronically block emails, messages, or texts from specific people.

Limit access to technology. Although it is hurtful, many kids who are bullied can't resist the temptation to check websites or phones to see if there are new messages. Keep the computer in a public place in the house and put limits on the use of cellphones and games. You might be able to turn off text messaging services during certain hours, and most websites, apps, and smartphones include parental control options that give parents access to their kids' messages and online life.

Consider monitoring your child's social media use. Programs and apps are available that can monitor kids' social media accounts and alert parents to any inappropriate language or photos. Some can give detailed reports of a child's browsing history and tell a parent how much time they spent online and on each site. Consider your child's age and digital behavior when deciding whether to monitor devices. Then, if you choose to monitor, talk to them about it and explain why it's important.

Know what sites your child uses. This is your chance to encourage kids and teens to teach you about something they know well - technology! This shows your child that you are interested in how they spend their time online, while helping you understand how to best monitor their online safety.

Be part of your kids' online world. Ask to "friend" or "follow" your child on social media sites, but do not abuse this privilege by commenting or posting anything to your child's profile. Check their postings and the sites kids visit, and be aware of how they spend their time online.

Put it in writing. Write smartphone and social media contracts for your kids that you're willing to enforce.

What Else Should I Know?

What if it's your kid who's behaving badly? While that can be upsetting, it's important to deal with the problem and not expect it to go away. No matter what's causing the bullying, tell your child that it's unacceptable. Set and enforce consequences if it continues. If needed, talk with teachers, guidance counselors, and others who might be able to help.

As always, be a role model for your kids. Help them understand the benefits and dangers of the digital world. If you don't get upset and use angry words in your own posts and replies, they're less likely to. Talk about healthy ways to respond - or not - when you disagree with others.

# data[].attributes.body
Cyber bullying is one of the biggest problems that a lot of people face online now a day no matter what age they are, this could come in the form of jealousy, racism or rejection. Cyber bullying has become a virus in the online community and it has affected a lot of peoples lives, whether the people can’t recover from the bullying they have faced, in serious cases the victims commit suicide.  Cyberstalking is a form of online harassment in which the perpetrator uses electronic communications to stalk a victim. This is considered more dangerous than other forms of cyberbullying because it generally involves a credible threat to the victim's safety. Cyberstalkers may send repeated messages intended to threaten or harass. They may encourage others to do the same, either explicitly or by impersonating their victim and asking others to contact them. Cyber bullies can also come in the form of internet trolls, they may not have a particular target, but they bully someone because they feel they have a need to bully someone that they don’t like for no particular reason. Cyberbullying involves repeated behavior with intent to harm.

Cyberbullying is perpetrated through harassment, denigration, impersonation, and exclusion on social media.

Cyberbullying can take place on social media sites such as Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter. "By 2008, 93% of young people between the ages of 12 and 17 were online. In fact, youth spend more time with media than any single other activity besides sleeping." The last decade has witnessed a surge of cyberbullying, bullying that occurs through the use of electronic communication technologies, such as e-mail, instant messaging, social media, online gaming, or through digital messages or images sent to a cellular phone. Children or adults who bully others through electronic means are able to hide behind the technology, remaining anonymous if they choose. These same people who cyberbully don’t immediately see the reaction of their words or taunts, not witnessing the reaction of others makes it easier to become more aggressive and vicious. Parents are encouraged to understand as much as they can about cyberbullying so that they will be able to recognize it in their child’s life. There is a wide spectrum and a fine line of what some find offensive. The closer a parent is with their child, the easier it will be to identify what particular things are upsetting them. Parents are encouraged to connect with their children on social media in order to see what is going on online.

Parents do not need to comment on every little thing their children post online, but if the parents can see what is going on, they will be able to see if something is bothering their child and help them figure out the best way to deal with it. Monitoring software for iOS and Android devices is a great way for parents to keep track of any bullying activity so that they can quickly put a stop to nasty and ruinous cyberbully attacks.

Cyber bullying can easily harm the social reputation of everyone involved in the same. This will not just the bullied person but also those who are bullying or involved in it. Some of the unique concerns of cyber bullying can be:

Permanent: If not removed and reported, most of the online information can stay forever available to everyone who wants to access it. This can involve process like college admissions, employment, etc if it has created some negative impression.

Persistent: with the advent of digital devices one can communicate 24*7 immediately and continuously and this will not let the victim of cyber bullying heave a sigh of relief making the situation more pathetic.

How you can stay away from cyber bullying:

There are so many things that can be sent by using the internet and if not taken care it can end up making the receiver harassed, embarrassed, hurt and humiliated. One should have proper netiquettes (internet and etiquettes) so as to avoid getting trapped in such pathetic situation. Below are the few tips that will help you to keep yourself away from cyber bullying:

1. One should always avoid posting personal information like phone numbers, complete name, password, address, etc; on the internet and especially on the not so protected social media sites. Also, you do not hold any right to post someone else's personal information.

2. You might receive some messages showing off anger. In this situation, you should every respond such messages with the same feeling of anger instead think a lot before you reply.

3. By being on the social media platforms, you make yourself available for almost everyone and hence it becomes obvious for you to receive some messages from the strangers. Never open and if opened never respond to any message from an unknown.

4. To keep yourself protected with email, you can use the BCC section while forwarding any email.

5. Chain emails or long emails or hoaxes can even play a role in cyber bullying. One should always avoid forwarding such emails.

6. Proofreading is a very good practice which is not just applicable to the professional emails but also good to perform with usual emails and messages. It is very easy to interpret something wrong from. Very casually written message and proofreading are the best way to avoid the same.

7. Double check the 'TO' field before sending any message to anyone. Your message can contain some personal stuff which you would never like to share with somebody else and in such situation, if you accidentally send share any personal message to anyone without checking to who you are sending, can leave both the sender and receiver embarrassed.

8. One should never believe anything they read online. If someone's social media profile says she is a 16-year-old girl showing off a cute girl's picture, can be a boy as well hiding his identity online. Also if someone company claims they are huge in business and all other big budget lies it can make fool of you.

9. Being global stage internet connects any religions, ages, cultures and gender and one should always be very much careful about speaking or commenting on any of these. While discussing a crucial topic like politics, wars, casts, races and gender one should always act respectful and should never speak of the things that can hurt the emotions.

10. Messages can be easily misleading or can get unintentionally sent to the wrong person so here one should always avoid sending anything very much private on the same. If you have something personal it is better to give a call or the best if you can talk in person. As cyber bullies can use your personal information, pictures and videos for the act of harassment.

By taking care of these small things you can keep yourself away from cyberbullying.

What to and what not to do if cyber bullied:

What to do: You can simply ignore the bullies and if it is going above a certain level you can simply make a record of the bullied messages and when you received as it will help to make a hold on bullies. You can also go hi-tech as bullying is not allowed by the websites, so by complaining about the same to the website administrator you can make the one throw out of the site.

The best option is to reach out to your school administration, parents and even police officers and ask to help you in dealing with the cyber bullies.

What not to do: If you are getting bullied going down to his level will never help you, instead make you a bad person. Also, you should never forward bullying messages to your friends as they may send it to other and hence can form a big chain. You should never let any cyber bully to hurt your self-confidence. By taking to someone you trust and your parents, you can give a strong fight back.

Cyber bullying is when someone bullies another person or multiple people online. Cyber bullying enables the bullies to use online methods, bullies are able to conduct hate speech, extortion, bribery, threats, peer pressure or harassment to taunt and control their victims. In this article, we will outline what makes cyberbullying different from face-to-face bullying.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Cyberbullying is when someone bullies another online. With the openness of internet and the always-on connection of smartphones, cyberbullying has become a convenient and sometimes deadly way for abusers to inflict psychological damage with lasting effects. Using online methods, bullies are able to conduct hate speech, extortion, bribery, threats, peer pressure or harassment to taunt and control their victims. In this article, we will outline what makes cyberbullying different from face-to-face bullying.
The quickness of the attacks
Cyber bullying is different from bullying in person in that attacks are conducted much faster online. A face-to-face bully can only target one person at a time. Each victim is separate. With cyberbullying, an array of assaults is deployed towards a number of victims at the same time. A rumor, secret or threat is transmitted at the speed of light, with plenty of time to think of more ways to harass others. Passing notes and spreading lies becomes easier to do and more difficult to detect. Teenagers with smartphones are using a powerful platform for bullies to conduct attacks.
The distance and familiarity with social networking
A bully is more confident from behind a computer screen. Bullies can use social networking sites to have an emotional connection while still being physically distant. Most teenagers know the people they are friends with on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter. Victims of cyberbullies are taunted outside of the classroom by many people they know, and from miles apart.
The size of the audience
It is estimated that nearly 3 billion people use the internet. A cyberbully will expose something embarrassing about someone and display it all over the world for anyone to see. Videos, graphics and trends can go viral, and millions of people are able to become engaged in the same topic. What may seem to be harmless entertainment can destroy a person's self-worth when thousands of people have negative and hurtful things to say.
The permanence
Another point to make about how cyberbullying is harmful is the permanence of things that are posted online. The internet makes things easy to duplicate and once something makes it online, it is usually there to stay. Online social networks and email accounts are breeding grounds for cyber-slambooks, which victims have a hard time getting rid of. Rumors, lies and harassment threaten a teen's reputation, and a record of hurtful things can remain online for years for potentially anyone to view.
What parents can do
Parents are encouraged to understand as much as they can about cyberbullying so that they will be able to recognize it in their child's life. There is a wide spectrum and a fine line of what some find offensive. The closer a parent is with their child, the easier it will be to identify what particular things are upsetting them. Parents are encouraged to connect with their children on social media in order to see what is going on online.

Parents do not need to comment on every little thing their children post online, but if the parents can see what is going on, they will be able to see if something is bothering their child and help them figure out the best way to deal with it.
