ARE YOU READY???
Unsurprisingly it is extremely detrimental to your health.
JOURNAL OF ADOLESCENT HEALTH....!!!!
Found out that cyber bullying victims are more likely to become depressed than compared to the traditional bullying.
In cyber bullies don't have much in the way for motives either.
With bullying thers normallay an imbalance of power. BUT you don't need to be powerfull to harrass some one online. You just need the INTERNET.
AMERICAN COUNSELLING ASSOCIATIONS ....!!!!
A survey shows 40% of cyberbullies engage in online aggression JUST FOR FUN.
Okay, it dosen't really help to know that someone who is constantly harassing you over FACEBOOK has no reason to do so. But you should take comfort in the fact that it does have very little to do with you and everything to do with the bullies on super weird issues. You can't fight those issues. But what you can do is LEARN HOW TO AVOID CYBER BULLYING WHEN POSSIBLE and extract yourself from the situation when it's to late to avoid it.
LET START WITH THE 4 STEP METHOD ...!!!
STEP 1... PRIVACY IS PREVENTION
Take a second to go through any place you stored data about your self online and make sure that the privacy settings are AIRTIGHT.
GOOGLE your name see what comes up. Make sure your facebook settings don't give out your email address or phone number.
STEP 2 ... WHEN BULLIED DON'T RESPOND AND DON'T RETALIATE
This is a ridiculously hard rule to follow because ... HEY ... you are getting sent awful things, and the first things you want to do is fire back.
BUT take it like this tough. Engaging with a bully is like pouring WATER on a GREASE FIRE. It seems like the obvious thing to do at the time, because WHOLLY CRAP MY STOVETOP IS IN FLAMES ...!!!!
But water just spreads the fire. And retaliating to a cyber bully just encourges the bully. Becuase you are giving him what he wants.
STEP 3 ... BLOCK THE BULLY IF POSSIBLE
Whats better than ignoring a bully. Making it impossible for him to contact you that's what. Try one of the following methods to make it harder for you bully to reach you.
If you are on a messaging system set it up so that only contacts on your buddy list can contact you. IF THIS DOSEN'T WORK... TRY GOING INVISIBLE or blocking the individual screen name that you know to be dangerous.
SCREEN ALL IN COMING PHONE CALLS AND TEXT MESSAGES.
If necessary temporarily suspend your social media pages.
STEP 4... SAVE THE INFORMATION AND TELL SOMEONE
First and foremost report the bullying to the service provider, because cyber bullying is outlawed on most sites and messenger services. Cyber bullying is also illegal in most states. Though some bullies might think they vanish and get away with the odds simply becasue NOBODY KNOWS WHO THEY ARE....!!!
What they forget is that they are leaving a pretty significant electronic trail. Save any threating correspondence. EMAIL FACEBOOK PHONECALLS ETC. And show it to somebody you trust. This could be a PARENT TEACHER OR A FRIEND.
