Cyber Bullying.
Cyberbullying involves the use of information and communication technologies such as email, cell phone and pager text messages, instant messaging, defamatory personal Web sites, and defamatory online personal polling Web sites, to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others. Cyberbullying includes threats, gossip, and insults that are spread via e-mail and messengers, distributed through community-oriented online games.
Eg. A girl gets an email everyday from an anonymous person saying that she is the fattest, stupidest, ugliest girl ever lived.
FACT: MSN messenger has emerged as one of the most popular of the new range of bullying tools. It is important to realize that MSN messenger has become a very large part of the social lives of today’s kids and teens. Something happened online often acted out in person during school. Likewise, a ‘real-world’ conflict can be extended online through endless strings of abusive instant messages. It is not uncommon for groups to gang up on an individual kid, bombarding them with "flame" / hate IMs or infecting their computer with viruses.
We should report it to our parents or teachers if we are cyber-bullied. They will know what to do. Leave any conversation that starts to gossip or insult about another person. It is a crime to cyber-bully as it hurts feelings and emotions.
