Cyberbullying

Cyber bullying is when you are being harassed, tormented, threatened, or humiliated on the internet or any other social technology.

It can be stopped by people being warned or punished when they have done it. As soon as someone is experiencing cyber bulling by being the victim, they should tell someone as soon as they know its happening. Even if they think they can deal with it on their own, they need to tell someone because you may regret it. Another way to stop cyber bullying from happening is by parents looking on their children's facebook, msn, twitter, etc. That's so that the child knows if they are experiencing it or they are doing it they will either stop because there parents will know or tell someone they are getting bullied as someones going to find out anyway. Mehelps.

There isn't really a way to stop people cyber-bullying, because children have internet access at the click of their fingers. Schools should maybe use examples of people who have killed themselves. Amanda Todd is one of the most famous examples for teenagers in 2012. Instead of showing them acted videos with happy endings where the cyberbully gets arrested or caught, maybe they should show them videos where the victim commits suicide and that would scare them into not cyber-bullying people. Haha, sorry, that wasn't a very good answer.

Well, sometimes, they can be arrested!! (it depends on what state you live in) It also depends on what you do. If you abuse or harrass someone terribly, you will be arrested.

Cyber dating is dating online, not actually meeting the person except on the internet.

In other words, hooking up with another via the internet.

If its anyone in all the school its probably 80 or 70% ....Ive already been bullied before in fourth grade and it was awful I always cryed,so the thing for not getting bullied is being confident about yourself and having many friends and if someone starts picking on you they are probably jealous of you just tell an adult and stay away.

PS: always be in a good mood

Just know that there cowards and have a high probability of having sad lives as well as their own emotional backstabbing issues that are being ignored or affecting there lives. Have confidence in who you are and what you do and learn the internet has a lot of degenerates and that you should avoid particular parts of it. Also one or few persons opinion does not mean that is the opinions of others.

People with low self-esteem or emotional disturbed places feel it is the norm and bring it on other people. They have their natural emotional defenses in a storm cloud ready to thunder on a daily basis to help from feeling inferior and infuriated.

well i do not know the population of people getting killed but what i DO know is a story told to me in the 6th grade.a girl had found a special friend and intended to meet him in a public school.she had told her friend about what had happened and ALSO told her to keep it a secret!(What a Mistake!)and the best friend DID keep the secret!and you know what else?the next morning in the center of the school cafeteria,the girl with that "special'friend of hers was found dead.these are the things that might happen to you if you do not watch out for Cyber Bullying.NEVER INTEND TO MEET ANYONE FROM THE COMPUTER,IF YOU HAVE NOT MET THEM IN PERSON.

You have to think what is the best thing for you? Sometimes the best step is to stand up for yourself, but this is not always possible. Other times you may just have to ignore it.

Further steps you can take include telling an adult (if you are a child or teenager), reporting them (if it is on a website) or blocking them (if it is by email or msn or some other instant messager).

Cyberbullying can be prevented by educating people about the dangers. Teaching about the effects of cyberbullying on a victim. It helps to teach about the consequences for the bully, too.

Tell them, "hey, cyberbullying has gotten out of control please do something about it!", if they say no then you say, " I'll do a petition( a petition is where you go around and get signatures on that subject ) they HAVE to say yes to the petition if it's a no you're on your own I don't know anymore ways

the bully is anonymous

The primary place where cyber-bullying occurs is in chat rooms. Girls are about twice as likely to be victims and perpetrators of cyber-bullying than boys. The psychological and emotional effects of cyber-bullying are similar to those of real-life bullying.

A little background here: in August of 1971, sponsored by the Office of US Naval Research, the US Navy and Marine Corps, Dr. Phillip Zimbardo, with twenty-four student volunteers conducted the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment. They were to study the dynamics that developed between guards and prisoners. This is important for this answer for one reason: although Dr. Zimbardo shut down the experiment early to protect volunteers, he has continued to analyze and study the data he gained from the failed experiment. What he determined is that most aggressive, bullying behavior rises primarily out of two factors: lack of education or training, and boredom.

Cyberbullying is likely the result of these two factors as well, at least to some degree.

The fact that someone is bullying someone else is all that matters. The victim may do something to themselves to stop the bullying if they are desperate enough. This could be something very dangerous or life-threatening even.

Why am i a bully?

Why am i a bully?
Why do i want to make kids cry?
When i got found out today,
My parents asked me why?

Do you think its clever
Making others feel so sad?
Would i pick on others
Who were tall, tough or bad?

'So you think you're really hard?'
My parents frowned and said
I stood there shuffling awkwardly
I mumbled and lowered my head

I'd seen it on the telly
I'd listened to teachers and stars
But i hadn't listened hard enough
And now it had gone too far

The kids that i had picked on
Had spoken out that day
They wouldn't give in any more
They said they wouldn't pay

As i left across the yard
The kids all stopped and stared
My parents either side of me
Hardly spoke a word

I turned and looked
And heard the sound of laughter,
joy and play
I knew that if i changed my ways
I might join in with them one day!

Cyberbullying can happen for a number of reasons, and it is interesting to note that it is not always intentional. At times, children may not even realize that they are involved in a case of bullying, and may be unaware of the consequences of their actions. Four types of cyberbullies have been identified by Wired Kids , and parents can be watchful for these types of behaviors in your child and their friends: * The "Vengeful Angels" see themselves as righting wrongs, or protecting themselves or others from the "bad guy" whom they are now victimizing. * The "Power Hungry" want to exert their authority, show that they are powerful enough to make others do what they want, and some want to control others with fear. * The "Mean Girls" are ego-driven bullies who are bored or looking for entertainment. * Finally, the "Inadvertent Cyberbullies" may be pretending to be tough online, or role playing, or they may be reacting to hateful or provocative messages they have received.

People that are easily targeted by bullies can't seem to ignore the insults even though they come from a source that offers no accountablity and often comes from total strangers. I was amazed when I first started answering questions on this site how many people gave very hurtful and insulting answers to people they didn't even know. In short I guess people that don't have much confidence in themselves tend to believe all that trash that other folks throw at them. It's sad too because most of the people being bullied will figure out eventually how to overcome it and become successful citizens later on.

The minor will be returned to the custody of their parent(s) or legal guardian. The adult will be taken into custody by authorities charged with child abduction and other federal and/or state criminal violations.

This cannot be determined as it was unquestionably already present in our ancient pre-human ancestors. Behaviour resembling bullying is observable in most animal species.
