Dear student,
Such questions are meant to test your writing skills and should be attempted on your own. However, these points might help you elaborate:
- Cyberbullying, the targeting of someone through the use of technology, is quickly outpacing the traditional forms of bullying. And the internet is its battlefield.
- Accodring to one study:, 42% of kids have been bullied online, 1 in 4 have had it happen more than once. 21% of kids have received mean or threatening e-mails or other messages. 58% have not told their parents about an online bullying incident.
- Parents must understand it as its fallout can interfere with the social development and educational environment. In the worst case, students are so worried about cyberbullying that they can't focus on their studies or are afraid to come to school. In the most extreme cases, cyberbullying can trigger violence or suicide.
- Bullying stops when the bystanders speak up. Encourage bystanders to refuse to pass along cyberbullying messages.
- Provide the person being bullied with support and reassurance. Tell them that they did the right thing by telling. Encourage the child to get help from parents, the school counsellor, principal or teachers.
