Cyber Bully



              CYBERBULLYING

             'Cyberbullying'. What is cyberbullying is ? Cyberbullying is defined as the use of ICT deliberately to upset someone. It can be done via a number of channels :
  •  including text message
  •  mobile phone call
  •  photo or video image
  •  email
  •  instant message
  •  chat room
  •  website or video game

              Cyberbullying can involve :
  • threats or intimadation
  • harasment or ' cyberstalking '
  • defamation
  • impersonation 
  • exclusion
  • identity theft 
  • unauthorised publication of private information or images

          What are the cause of cyber bullying ? 
  • eople will just start making fun of people calling them names because of their pesonal feelings about someone or something. 
  • they might see something on the internet that they feel they should make fun of
  • maybe they want to start something or they act like their tough so they feel like they can freak you out a little.

                 
                 Just as cyberbullying can have an extremely negative impact , it can be very harmful for kids, teenagers, students and many more. Here are some of the bad effects :

  • can undermining your confidence, self - esteem and sense of security.
  • affecting your performance and attendance at school. 
  • causing stress and affecting your health.
  • affecting your professional reputation and career.
  • marginalising certain groups. 
  • fuelling prejudices in areas such as race, religion and sexuality. 
  • leading to suiciding thoughts.
  • affecting you for the rest of your life.
         As for me the cyberbullyer is a very unmatured person. Is that they cannot think properly before they take a very an unintelligent decision to bullying people, although trough a cyber. Try to imagine if once of the people they love also had a cyberbullying. Hence, do a good think with the ICT.
