Stop Cyber Bullying
Don't let you child feel this way.


Cyber bullying may seem like a fun thing for the person that is doing the bullying, but this most likely leaves the victim feeling isolated and depressed. As a parent you need to take every possible action to prevent this kind of behavior affecting your child’s life.

Group of bullies

In many instances cyber bullying can be a group effort. It may be initiated by one person, but before too long there are others that take it upon themselves to intimidate the victim. This can often leave a child feeling very "small" when a group of bullies are on the prowl.
With proper planning, talking to your children about cyber bullying is not as difficult as you may think. In fact, taking the first steps to resolving or discovering this kind of activity will diminish the chances that they will encounter it in the first place.

 

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.
