NAME : DAVINA EIZURA BT DAHIBAN Cyberbullying is bullying that occurs through digital devices such as mobile phones, computers and tablets. It can include sharing personal or personal information about others that causes embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying goes beyond the limits of illegal or criminal behavior. The most common places where cyberbullying occurs are: Social Media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Tik Tok Text messaging and messaging applications on mobile or tablet devices Instant messaging, live messaging and online chat over the internet Online forums, chat rooms and message boards, such as Reddit Email Online gaming community Am I bullied online? How do you distinguish between a joke and bullying? All friends joke with each other, but sometimes it’s hard to tell if someone is just having fun or trying to hurt you, especially online. Sometimes they will laugh at him with "joking" or "not taking it seriously." But if you feel hurt or assume someone else is laughing at you instead of with you, then the prank has gone overboard. If it continues even after you ask the person to stop and you still feel upset about it, then this may be bullying. And when bullying happens online, it can result in unwanted attention from a wide range of people including strangers. Wherever it might happen, if you’re not happy with it, you don’t have to stand up for it Just say what you want and if you’re feeling bad and it doesn’t stop, and then it’s worth getting help. Stopping cyberbullying isn’t just about calling the bully; it’s also about recognizing that everyone deserves to be respected online and in real life. How do we stop cyber bullies without relinquishing access to the Internet? Be online has many benefits. However, like many things in life, it comes with risks you need to cover. If you are experiencing cyberbullying, you may want to delete certain applications or stay offline for a while to give yourself time to recover. But for me, getting out of the Internet is not a long -term solution. We don't make mistakes, so why do we need to be harmed? It may also send the wrong signal to the bully thus encouraging their unacceptable behavior. We all want cyber bullies stopped, which is one of the reasons reporting cyber bullies is so important. But creating the Internet we want goes beyond bullying calls. We need to think about what we share or say that may hurt others. We need to be kind to each other online and in real life. Up to all of us! Is there a penalty for cyberbullying? People who are victims of any form of violence, including bullying and cyberbullying, have the right to seek justice and hold the perpetrators accountable. In countries that have specific laws on cyberbullying, deliberate online behavior causing serious emotional stress is seen as criminal activity. In some of these countries, victims of cyberbullying can seek protection, ban communication from certain people and restrict the use of electronic devices used by that person for cyberbullying, temporarily or indefinitely. However, it is important to remember that punishment is not the most effective way to change bullying behavior. Often it is better to focus on repairing the damage and repairing the relationship. As wind-up, if you think you are being bullied, the first step is to get help from someone you trust such as your parents, immediate family members or other trusted adults. At your school, you can contact your favorite counselor, sports coach or teacher. Either online or in person. And if you’re not comfortable talking to someone you know, find a helpline in your country to speak to a professional counselor. If the bullying occurs on a social platform, consider blocking the bully and report their behavior officially on the platform itself. Social media companies are responsible for keeping their users safe.
