  1. DANGERS WHEN SURFING THE INTERNET CYBERBULLYING

  2. CYBERBULLYING • Is when a teen is threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed by another teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. • Involves sending of mean messages, embarrassing photos, photoshopped photos and other private information of the victim to other people or sharing them on the web. • “Catfishing” - the phenomenon of internet predators that fabricate online identities and entire social circles to trick people into emotional/romantic relationships

  3. CYBERBULLYING • In 2012 in Rome a 14-year old boy committed suicide after being harrassed and humiliated on a social network where comments had been posted accusing him of being gay because of the way he dressed and because he was a quiet non-violent guy.

  4. CATFISHING In 2006, a 13-year-old American girl began an online relationship with a boy. For almost a month, she corresponded with him exclusively online because he said he didn’t have a phone.   One day she received a message from him on her MySpace profile saying “I don’t know if I want to be friends with you any longer because I hear you’re not nice to your friends.”  This was followed by bulletins being posted through MySpace calling her “fat” and a “slut.”  After seeing the messages, the girl became distraught and ran up into her room.  A few minutes later, her motherfound her hanging in her bedroom closet.  The girl died the next day.

  5. DANGEROUS GAMES Dangerous games are widely advertised through the Internet and some adolescents engage in these potentially fatal games in response to peer pressure, to be part of a group, not to be excluded or harrassed by the others: • Choking or suffocation game: the aim is to pass out from a lack of oxygen; it causes the permanent death of brain cells.

  6. DANGEROUS GAMES • In 2011 a 16-year-old girl was found dead in a field in the outskirts of Rome with a plastic bag tied around her head. Investigators found out that she had been playing the choking game with a group of friends.

  7. CYBERBULLYING • Schools can be very effective brokers in working with the parents to stop and remedy cyberbullying situations. They can also educate the students on cyberethics and the law.
