 STOP CYBERBULLYING
What is Cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying (sometimes referred to as online bullying), by
definition, is the practice of using digital technology, such as a
phone, tablet, gaming console, or computer, to bully another person
(or people) via email, direct messaging platforms, social media,
audio and video platforms, or text messaging. This includes the
sharing or posting of content aimed at causing the embarrassment
or humiliation of another person. According to the
National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice, 16
percent of students in the US, from grades 9–12, have personally
experienced cyberbullying in some form (that’s approximately 1 in 6
children).
With its link to social media and the internet at large, it can
sometimes be difficult to spot an example of cyberbullying. Even
more worryingly, some cases of cyberbullying can turn into larger
criminal acts very quickly. As a result, we’ve listed some of the most
prominent examples of online bullying, so you can be prepared
moving forward.
STEP TO PREVENT CYBER
BULLYING
. How to Prevent and Stop Cyberbullying?
Like physical bullying, there are a number of measures that you can take (as an adult
or a minor) to prevent cyberbullying from continuing.
1. Tell Someone
According to a study on the long-term effects of bullying the vast majority of
teenagers, up to 90% by some estimates, agree that cyberbullying is a problem, with
other estimates citing around 63% of teenagers believing it to be a “serious”
problem. Unfortunately, many young people also believe that schools, the
government, and social media companies are failing to address the problem, leaving
many of them feeling disenfranchised and isolated. In stark contrast, many teenagers
see their parents as effective allies in the fight against cyberbullying. This leaves a
large responsibility in the hands of the parents to remain vigilant and reach out to
their children if they think there could be a possible incident of cyberbullying.
In many cases, teenagers will hesitate to tell their parents or other adults if they are
the victims of cyberbullying. Similar to other forms of bullying, this lack of
communication tends to stem from embarrassment or fear. Victims often worry that
teachers and parents won’t be able to stop the abuse and that the harassment will
only worsen once the bully finds out that they’ve told an adult. If you believe that
your child is being cyberbullied (or is a cyberbully), it’s critical for you to reach out as
soon as possible. Look for practical ways to address the issue, such as involving
school administrators and/or a therapist. If you think that you are the victim of
cyberbullying, tell a teacher, parent, or appropriate adult immediately.

. 2. Keep Everything
Once you’ve reached out to your child, save all posts, digital messages, and
communications from the cyberbully by taking screenshots, or photos on your
smartphone. In addition, make sure to record the time and date, and any other
relevant information that could be used in a court of law. Bring everything to
the school administration and consider involving the police if you feel that
things are severe enough. In many cases, cyberbullying crosses the line from
aggravation to criminal harassment.
3. Don’t Engage
With increases of up to 70% in the amount of bullying/hate speech among
teens and children since the Covid lockdown, researchers have found non-
engagement to be one of the main ways to combat certain kinds of
cyberbullying attacks. Victims of cyberbullying are often better off ignoring or
avoiding an attack and immediately reporting the situation to an appropriate
adult. The goal of any bully is to goad his or her victim into anger and
acknowledgment of ridiculous claims or malicious statements. Ignoring a
cyberbully’s attempts minimizes their power in the digital setting. Equally,
those observing the attacks must be willing to report problems to friends,
family members, or teachers.
The best option for victims is to block the bully from social media and email
accounts altogether. For many social media apps, such as Facebook or
Instagram, blocking not only removes the bully from the victim’s view but also
means that the bully can no longer directly link to the victim’s profile or even
see posts by mutual contacts that tag the victim
