  2. What is Cyber bullying? Cyber bullying refers to bullying through information and communication technologies, mediums such as mobile phone text messages, emails, phone calls, internet chat rooms, instant messaging – and the latest trend – social networking websites such as MySpace, Facebook and Bebo. Cyber bullying is a fast growing trend that experts believe is more harmful than typical schoolyard bullying. Nearly all of us can be contacted 24/7 via the internet or our mobile phones. Victims can be reached anytime and anyplace. For many children, home is no longer a refuge from the bullies. “Children can escape threats and abuse in the classroom, only to find text messages and emails from the same tormentors when they arrive home.”

  3. Why does it occur? It seems that people have a sense of invisibility online. Some feel this gives them the right to be insulting and cruel. For others, the absence of social feedback leaves them without guilt or a sense of responsibility for their actions. There is a common belief among young people that “what happens online, stays online”. This means that people engaging in cyber-bullying feel that they can get away with it. Young people are often reluctant to tell parents or teachers if they are cyber-bullied, often because they fear their computer or mobile phone use will be restricted. Many young people also believe adults are not able to stop cyber-bullying.

  4. What to do if cyber-bullying occurs Firstly protect your number- only give it to friends and don’t leave your mobile where others can access your number. Block your number when calling people you don’t know well or people you don’t trust. Know that anything you put on a computer or text message could become public knowledge. If you do get a nasty message don’t respond. People who bully like to upset people and being bullied is upsetting. Keep the message or print out the chat page as a record of what has happened. You can get help. Schools are serious about stopping cyber- bullying. The law is also on your side. In many cases people engaging in cyber-bullying can be charged with defamation, invasion of privacy or inflicting emotional distress. Malicious calls can be traced. Mobile phone companies can also help you by preventing some numbers getting through to your phone or giving you a new number.
