By Terryn BowdlerSTOP CYBERBULLYING
In many cases, teenagers who don't have mobile phone are excluded from
the group of teenagers who do.Girls have been found to be more likely
to exclude others, boys tend to threaten with physical violence.
EXCLUSION
Bullies often send repeated messages, or at odd times of
the day and night.Some bullies even post their messages to a public forum - where everyone can see their threats b like a chat room or
a Bulletin board
HARASSMENT
Outing is the public display or forwarding
of personal communications such
as text messages, emails or instant
messaging.
OUTING
CYBERSTALKING
Cyber stalking is a form of harassment.Normally messages are sent through personal
communications, such as email or text messages
Masquerading is an elaborate form of cyberbullying where the bully pretends to be
someone who they aren’t.
They might create fake email addresses or instant messaging names or they might use
someone else’s email or mobile phone to bully you. This would make it appear as if the
threats have been sent by someone else, again keeping the bully’s identity hidden.
Some people will tell you that you would give them your password if you were a ‘real’ friend. Do not give out your password to
anyone.
A 13-year-old girl gave her password to her best friend. After they had a fight, the ex-
friend used the girl's screen name to enter an adult chat room and gave out the girl's phone number. A man from the chat room
called the girl's home – but was luckily intercepted by the mother.
MASQUERADING
Flaming is an intense argument, that normally takes place in chat rooms, over instant messages or email.
These bullies use capital letters, images and symbols to add emotion to their argument.
This is a real life example from People magazine: "I was instant messaging my best friend, and we had an
argument over a guy…The next day she printed the conversation and handed it to a group of girls, but she'd changed it. It read like I had said all these really mean
things [about them all] that I never said, and they believed her."
Look how the results of that flame worked out. Never send a reply to a bully whilst you are angry. Wait a period of time, to cool down, before you reply, if you even have
to reply at all
FLAMING
A pseudonym or alias is like a nickname. Bullies may call themselves a different name when they
are online, to when they are offline. They do this to keep their real identity a secret from you.
When you use instant messaging services like MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger, you are known to others online by a nickname that you have chosen.
This is an example of a pseudonym.
Bullies can use this same feature to change their name to something that you wouldn’t expect.
Similarly, bullies may change their name to something offensive, like the example on the right.
PSEUDONYM
Anonymity is when someone makes threatening comments to you, but is able to hide who they are. This means that it can be hard for you to figure out who sent
you a threatening message or email.Anonymity can include the use of aliases or pseudonyms. Have a look at the book on pseudonyms on the bookcase.Anonymity is a big issue in terms of cyberbullying. When
a website was set up to humiliate Greg Frawley the police were unable to find the people responsible, as they had
set up the website anonymously.If someone is sending you threatening text messages on
your mobile phone, unless you recognize the phone number it is sent from, you're unlikely to know who sent
you the message.
ANONYMITY
You can stop cyberbulling by not doing it and help people
