Digital Disrespect What Are You Talking About?
CYBER BULLYING When teens use the Internet, cell phones, or other devices to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person.
What Is Sexting? Texting or e-mailing, to another person, sexually explicit messages or pictures.
Digital Disrespect What Is The Big Deal?
Who Is A Cyberbully? Pretends they are other people online to trick others Spreads lies and rumors about victims Tricks people into revealing personal information Sends or forwards mean text messages Posts pictures of victims without their consent
How Do The Victims Feel? Those who are bullied are five times more likely to be depressed and far more likely to be suicidal. One out of every ten students who drops out of school does so because of repeated bullying. • Angry • Frustrated • Embarrassed • Scared • Suicidal Harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school-shooting incidents
How to be Positive? Blocking communication with the cyberbully Deleting messages without reading them Talking to a friend about the bullying Reporting the problem to an Internet service provider or website moderator
Why Are Teens Doing It?
Cyberbullying . . . • Think it’s funny • Don’t think it’s a big deal • Are encouraged by friends • Think they won’t get caught • Think everybody cyberbullies
Sexting . . . • Keep a guy/girls attention • Get noticed • Be fun/flirtatious • Pressure from friends • Get positive feedback
Digital Disrespect Your Privacy isIMPORTANT!
NOTHING Is Private • You may think your text messages/photos are safe and private. • You can’t control if they are forwarded to others • Forwarded text messages are the fastest way to spread gossip and rumors. • How many people could have access to a text/photo in a matter of seconds?
Ways to Stay Safe • Never post or share your personal information online (this includes your full name, address, telephone number, school name, parents’ names, credit card number, or Social Security number) or your friends’ personal information. • Never share your Internet passwords with anyone, except your parents.
Ways to Stay Safe • Never meet anyone face-to-face whom you only know online • Talk to your parents about what you do online.
Every Time You Send a Message • It gets stored on the cell phone company’s computer server. • Law Enforcement can access messages from the cell provider. • Deleted messages are retrievable. • Messages can be forwarded FOREVER
Don’t Assume Any Privacy Text Messages/Pictures can come back to haunt them for the REST OF THEIR LIVES
