Self Awareness Quiz
• Do you know if your child has ever been uncomfortable with an online message?
• Do you know what to do if your child is harassed on social media like Facebook or Myspace?
• Are you talking about the dangers of the Internet the same way you talk about what to do if there were a fire in the house?
• Do you keep computers in central place and monitor what is going on?
• Are you sure your child would tell you if they were being bullied or cyberbullying someone else?
Types of Cyberbullying• Identity theft- fake profiles might be set up pretending to be an
individual with the sole aim of bullying others• Chat rooms, blogs and forums- although you are supposed to be at
least 13 years old to participate, very few are monitored.• Pictures and photo sharing – videos of girls dressing and
undressing in the locker room after soccer practice can be taken with an Iphone and then shared on various sites.
• Prank phone calls- these may just be annoying, but can turn to stalking if it persists.
• Text messages- can be abusive and threatening.• E-mail- it is very easy to set up a new email account with a fictitious
name and begin sending offensive e-mails.• Instant messages- quicker than email, these permit users to have
real time conversations and arguments.• Social media- Facebook and Myspace are easy for cyberbullies to
post offensive messages.
What Should Parents Do About Cyberbullying?
• Encourage them to talk to you about what is going on in their lives and the lives of their friends.
• Don’t over react until you are sure that it wasn’t a misunderstanding. Youth are nervous about sharing concerns with parents for fear of them going ballistic and making matters worse.
• Encourage them to show you any abusive or offensive emails and keep a record of what has gone on.
• Turn on safety features to ensure that your family is only getting messages from those you wish to correspond with.
• Ask them how you can help them to solve the problem. If you jump in and solve, it will only reinforce in their minds that they are victims.
• Teach them life skills, like setting boundaries and speaking up in difficult situations. These are social skills that will help them for the rest of their lives.Sources:
