CYBERBULLYING ON THE RISE
Bullying among children and teenagers is not
something new but it is getting more and more common
by modern methods of communication.
Cyberbullying happens when an adolescent is
[5] put in danger by another child or teenager by photos or
text messages sent to cell phones or posted on social
networks. Sometimes cyberbullies send mails with
sexual comments or take passwords of other teenagers
and log on to websites with false identities. Children also
[10] play Internet games and make fun of each other in many
ways.
A study by a Canadian University shows that
half of the young people interviewed said that they suffer
bullying. One of the reasons is the great use of cell
[15] phones over the past years. Today’s children are
connected with each other electronically. They call
friends every time they want or communicate with them
on Facebook.
Cyberbullying is getting extremely popular
[20] because teens can stay anonymous. Many adolescents
act this way because they feel frustrated or angry and
want to punish somebody for something that happened
to them. At other times they do it just for fun or because
have nothing else to do. Parents usually don’t know their
[25] child is a cyberbully. They perceive it just when the
victim or the victim’s parents contact them.
This kind of bullying is not as inoffensive as
many people think. In some cases it can lead to suicide.
Many countries have organized campaigns to inform
[30] adults and children of its dangers.
There are a few ways to prevent cyberbullying.
First, it is important to show children that they have to
respect others and they are responsible for what they
do. For victims it is important not to play the bully’s game
[35] or answer their emails and text messages. It is also
important to get help from parents and teachers.
Often schools get involved. They bring together
the parents of victims and cyberbullies and talk with
them. Cyberbullying does not always end at school.
[40] Often, parents go to the police and accuse the bullies.
