Asked by Wiki User

Being a bystander to cyberbullying means witnessing acts of online harassment or bullying and choosing not to intervene or take action. Bystanders have the power to make a difference by reporting or standing up against cyberbullying, but by choosing to remain passive, they inadvertently enable the behavior to continue. It is important to actively support the target and create a safe online environment by speaking out against cyberbullying.

If you mean by, people losing their eye sight on computers, then no. Usually, people won't die from using the Internet, it would rather be just using the computer or other wireless machine in general; even then, they shouldn't be dead.

How can cyber bullying be stoped?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a complex question likely best answered more by some one with a social background then me, but I will give it a shot.

With the modern increase in reliance on social media such a myspace, facebook and twitter to name a few we find ourselves increasingly exposed to a wider audience and circle of friends then we might have without such things.

Because of the natural anonymous nature of the internet and lack of face to face communication it makes it easier to make cruel or otherwise scathing remarks at a distance because one does not need to see the repercussions of such activities. This is especially true in situations where TRUE anonymous communication is possible, such as the IRC or over some chat mediums.

The only way to truly avoid cyberbullying (and I dislike this term) is to not participate in such social media. The other alternative is to limit your social media exposure to people you know and trust by use of privacy settings. Limit your social circle to those whom you know in real life and whom are close to you and you'll likely reduce, if not eliminate your exposure to "bullying" in these cases.

The other alternative is to recognize that cyberbullying is as effective as you let it be. Without reacting, you fail to give the bully his or her "reward" which is a response in a negative or emotional spectrum. With no positive reinforcement of his or her behavior, the bully eventually looses interest and goes away. Choose to not let it bother you and rise above it.

Hope this helps!

What is the worst bullying?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They're is no "Worst" bullying. The only type of bullying is physical. All other types such as cyberbullying and verbal bullying are just words that have no after affect financially or educationally unless you make it so. If you let the result of a few buttons being pressed on a keyboard bother you so much and possibly contemplate suicide, then how do you expect yourself to get through actual troubles in life. You are the real bully if you let words hurt you when that person means nothing to you.

How does cyber bulling affect people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It can hurt someone really badly on the inside. The effects may not be seen until a few months into it, but most people put it off and think, 'It'll be okay, it happens to everyone, I'll be fine.' and they soon realize that that's not the case. Their problem will only get heavier if they are the only one carrying it.

Anyway, it leave a person lost in their mind and everything seems dark and unhappy to them. It makes them feel like no ones looking out for them and nobody likes them. The longer you put it off, the worse you feel. I know it's hard to tell someone but you have to if you have been cyber-bullied, and if you are the bullier, you should stop right now because, as said before, some people actually kill themselves because of this, that's how serious this is, and you can believe me that cyber-bullying hurts, cause I know how much it hurts.
