Lying and Cyber Bullying

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.

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.

Lying and Cyber Bullying

I think it is safe to say that we all know what it feels like when someone is lying about something you have said or done.

The same applies to children and because they are younger than adults and have not entirely developed their confidence they may not always know the correct way to respond, or perhaps they do not know how to defend themselves when it occurs.

With online access a cyber bully can and will spread lies. This can happen in blogs, chat conversations, emails, and anywhere else you can think of.

Example:

A cyber bully sends an email to all of your child’s friends saying something that is hurtful to all of them and said that your child said that. The next day when your child goes to school all of the people that received the email from the bully ignore, pick on, or unsuspectingly spread the lie around the entire school and your child has no idea about it until it is too late.

Obviously this is not fair to your child at all, nor is it fair to your child’s friends, but it does happen. Usually there is retaliation by everyone involved and they start emailing nasty comments in blogs, emails, chat conversations etc.

All because a cyber bully decided to single your child out.
