Cyber-bullying, like traditional bullying, involves an
imbalance of power, aggression, and a
negative action that is often
repeated. It is done through email,
instant messaging (IMing),
chat room exchanges, Web site posts, or digital
messages or images send to a cellular phone
or personal digital assistant
(PDA).
INTRODUCTION
Cyberbullying
means insulting, threatening, defaming or
intentionally harassing other people
using modern means of
communication, usually for a long period of time.
CYBERBULLYING happens either on the Internet (e.g. by e-mail,
instant messenger, social
networks, videos on various portals)or
by telephone (e.g. by WhatsApp or
annoying calls). Most of the
time, the culprit, referred to as “bully”, acts
anonymously, so
that the victim does not know from whom the attacks come.…
PURPOSE/MOTIVE
vOne of
the goals of every educator, parent, and student is
to prevent bullying from
happening. Anti-bullying laws are
one prevention strategy that can change
social norms. When
researchers in the United States began studying bullying in
the early 1990s, there were only a few anti-bullying laws and
policies. Now,
every state and most U.S. commonwealths and
territories have a law or policy on
bullying. Although no
federal policy exists specific to bullying, other federal
laws
provide certain protections
DISCRIPTION
Cyberbullying is often done by
children, who have
increasingly early access to these technologies. The
problem
is compounded by the fact that a bully can hide
behind a pseudonymous user
name, disguising his or her
true identity. This secrecy makes it difficult to
trace the
source and encourages bullies to behave more
aggressively than they
might in a situation where they
were identified.
