What Is Cyberbullying?
Have you ever had any of the following happen to you or your child?
• A nasty and intimidating text message sent to you
• Embarrassing photos of you circulated on social media
• Rumors spread about you via email
If any of those happened to you, you were a victim of cyberbullying,
which is a kind of bullying that occurs thanks to electronic technology like
phones, computers, email, social networks, text messages, apps, in-game
chat, and so on.
Cyberbullying Signs
Jim is in junior high school and he's a victim of cyberbullying. On social
media, he is constantly harassed by his peers. He is taunted and made fun
of. His pictures, especially the unflattering ones, are sent around with glee.
The non-embarrassing pictures are purposefully re-edited to make him
appear very fat or ugly and then posted for everyone to see. He gets all
sorts of text messages and messages on apps that demean him or even
threaten him with harm. Some people have gone so far as to make fake
profiles using his name, profiles that spread rumors about him or post
messages clearly out of line with who Jim really is. Jim gets bullied via email as well, and when he plays video games and uses voice chat, the
“FEDERICO PROAÑO”
HIGH SCHOOL
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
other players constantly harass him and taunt his playing style and him as
a person in general.
As you can tell, it doesn't matter if he's using a game console, a computer,
a cell-phone, e-mail, SMS, apps, social media, or anything else; Jim is a
victim of cyberbullying in many ways.
Cyberbullying Effects
You might think, ''What's the big harm? It's just make-believe anyway!'' This
is both true and false. It may take place in a virtual world, but the lines
between this world and reality are increasingly blurred. Even if that weren't
the case, there's a real person behind that virtual world who's hurt as much
as if he or she were bullied in 'real' life. Kids like Jim, those who are
cyberbullied, can suffer from all sorts of negative effects, such as:
• A drop in academic performance
• An increased risk of health problems
• Change in diet or sleep
• Low self-esteem
• The use of drugs and alcohol
Cyberbullying Solution
Since these effects are the last things we want for Jim or anyone else in his
shoes, parents must be aware of the solutions related to cyberbullying.
First, parents need to be proactive about what electronic mediums of
communication their kids use, when, where, and with whom. This will help
them better understand where their kids are being bullied and by whom.
They can ask their kids questions to find out this information, and they can
'follow' or 'friend' their child to keep an eye out for any bullying. If their kids
aren't comfortable with this, perhaps another trusted adult can do this
instead.
