  2. What is it? • Cyber Bullying- when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. • Two different kinds: • Direct Attacks- messages sent to kids directly • By Proxy- using others to help cyber bully the victim, either with or without the accomplice's knowledge.

  3. Statistics • 38% of girls report being bullied online. • 39% of social network users have been cyber bullied in some way • 13% of teens who use social media (12-17) say they have had an experience on a social network that made them feel nervous about going to school the next day. • Girls are more likely than boys to be victims or bully/victims.

  4. Why Kids Do It • Motivation • Anger , Revenge, or Frustration • For Entertainment • To get laughs • Boredom • To torment others to boost one’s ego • Mean girls do it to help bolster or remind people of their own social standing.

  5. Prevention • Educating the kids is the #1 way to prevent cyber bullying. • Teaching them to respect others and to take a stand against bullying of all kinds helps too. • There is no "one size fits all" when cyberbullying is concerned.

  6. Prevention Cont. • School’s Role • Schools are often sued for exceeding their authority and violating the student's free speech right. • They can educate the students on cyberethics and the law. • Giving students a place to express what’s going on if they are being bullied in any way.

  7. Prevention Cont. • Parents Role • Most children will avoid telling their parents about a cyber bullying incident fearing they will only make things worse. • Some parents will overreact and some will underreact • Be supportive • Let the school know so the guidance counselor can keep an eye out for in-school bullying and for how your child is handling things.

  8. Cyberbully (Film) • Taylor receives a computer for her birthday. • Taylor soon finds herself the victim of cyberbullying when she becomes a member of a social website. • Students at school write horrid comments about her and she becomes afraid to face her friends. • Taylor almost commits suicide by overdosing with pills
