Cyber Bullying

If you are being bullied, it is important to remember:

Cyber Bullying– Over half of adolescents and teens have been bullied

online, and about the same number have engaged in cyber bullying.

– More than 1 in 3 young people have experienced

cyber threats online.

bullied repeatedly through their cell phones or the Internet.

because they don’t feel accountable for their actions behind the computer.

Why does cyber bullying happen?

• Think about the other side of the click:–Trust your gut feeling, if you don’t feel

right about it, don’t pass it along.

Cyber bullying and the law

• Certain types of cyberbullying may violate school codes or breach anti-discrimination and sexual harassment laws.

• In many states “sexting” or forwarding a “sext” (sexual messages) is punishable as distributing or possessing child pornography, and requires even minors to be registered as sex offenders.

Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future

How should I respond to cyber bullying?

Build your confidence by repeating things you love about yourself.

Unplug from online! Get outside, get some sunshine, and exercise. This can help to reduce stress and anxiety!
