Cyber Bullying
By Alex Hertelendy
What is Cyber Bullying
•The definition of cyber bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior
among school aged children that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power with the use of technological
devices. The
behavior is repeated or has potential to be repeated over time.
Who Is effected?
•Children are the majority of the
victims, but recently there have been cases involving adults.
•Groups who may be bullied are
people of LBGT, the disabled or special needs, people of other races and nationalities, and individuals that have strong religious values.
•Even the bully is effected in the
situation.
Ways to Prevent
•Create a safe environment to
learn in, an open atmosphere to talk about bullying, and get the
community involved in preventing bullying.
•For parents make sure there is an
open line of communication. Get to know
what is going on in your child's life.
•Become a role model for your child
and others by showing others kindness and respect.
How to respond
•Respond to the bullying quickly and
consistently. This will show that it is
not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
•After one responds to bullying,
find out what happened. Talk to all
parties involved and proceed with ways to resolve the problem.
•Do not just be a bystander and
watch what is happening. Try and defuse
the situation and if does not work get an adult to help.
