THE NEXT STEP

join the Anglican Schools' anti-cyberbullying event on the 16th March 2018. This event is the product of a partnership between the eSafety Commissioner?s Project Officer and the Anglican Schools Commission.

This coincides with National Day of Action (NDA) against Bullying and Violence.

The purpose is to reinforce a non-acceptance of bullying behaviour and to promote a positive online community.

The recent media reports about Amy 'Dolly' Everett, a 14 year old school student, who took her own life due to cyberbullying highlights the importance of increasing awareness and promoting a culture of online respect.

Contact your school's Cyber Safety Champion for details about joining the event.

The challenge to be "young and esafe" is understanding there are online 'haters and fakers'.

A good trick is to check the source first. Is it trustworthy or are you unsure? The next step is to look at the information content. Is it gossip, are they selling me something or just false information? Look at sections of the information and try to confirm them. Ask a responsible adult to help you.

You always need to consider : - who created it? - what is the content?- where does it come from?- when was it created, is it current?- why was it created?

Examples of cyberbullying:

- Posting hurtful messages, images or videos online;

- Repeatedly sending unwanted messages online;- Sending abusive texts and emails;- Excluding or intimidating others online;- Creating fake social networking profiles or websites that are hurtful;- Hurtful online gossip and chat; and- Any other form of digital communication which is discriminatory,

intimidating, intended to cause hurt or make someone fear for their safety.

Often students and parents don't realise cyber bullies may be breaching a school?s code of conduct or technology user agreements. This could result in a school taking action, so it is important that you talk to someone. Just speaking to a responsible adult may help you sort through things. Also, the Commonwealth Criminal Code Act 1995 outlines that it is an offence to use the internet to menace, harass or cause offence. Cyberbullying is also covered under Queensland Criminal Code stalking legislation. There are also other offences in various Acts they may relate to forms of cyberbullying e.g. hacking.

Everyone can make a difference and help stop bullying. Reachout.com reports that the ?bystander effect? can defuse bullying, sometimes stopping the bullying within minutes.

Cyberbullying is when someone uses technology (e.g. internet, phones, social media) to menace, harass or cause harm (social, psychological or physically) to a person or group.

If you are ever worried about what is happening online talk to a responsible adult like a teacher, student counsellor or your parents.

You don't have to tell people your private information. If they are asking for it, you don't have to give it to them. You should not give out full details of name, addresses, phone numbers, photos (yours or those close to you) or PASSWORDS!

Make purposeful choices on the privacy options you set up on your social networking sites e.g. Facebook. Take a moment to think about how you are going to respond when something has upset or hurt you. If someone is harassing you, the way you respond can have an impact on how they continue, for example they may get worse if they may not have anything to continue. A good thing to do if you are being harassed is log off and stop being involved in any messaging. You should also keep records of harassing messages, so you can get help to have something done to stop them if you need to.
