Chat
Bullies
Chatting and instant messaging are the most popular forms of communication
among teenagers. If you are on someones buddy list, it is similar
to being accepted in the social group they are in. This is something
that many cyber bullies use to exploit their victims.
They will do it by creating
a fake screen name that is similar to their victims and start messaging
the victims friends and saying “hey
it is me, I had to change my screen name”. before you know
it, all of the victims friends are adding that new screen name to
their buddy list.
What can happen next is not uncommon and most likely happens more
then people realize. The cyber bully will start messaging their friends
and spread lies about anything that would make the victim look bad.
Example;
The bully hops on AIM and messages a good friend of the victim and
starts to tell that person they are using drugs and wanted to know
if they were interested in trying drugs too.
Obviously this kind of statement can ruin a friendship, but it can
also cause legal headaches for parents because the child that was
told that in chat could tell their parents, or a school teacher,
or even the police.
All of this because a
cyber bully decided to ruin your child’s
good standing among their peers.
