2. Cyber-bullying is when
the use of
internet, cell
phones, or any
technological device is
used with the intent of
sending messages or
images in which
embarrass, harass, or
hurt another
individual.

4.  The most common place cyber- bullying occurs is outside
of school.
Usually in the homes of the bullies.
Over computer and text messaging
 With this mind, parents are usually unaware of the
actions of their children (bully) as this happens.

5.  Bullies target the child that seems is the most vulnerable
These are the children that are weak, passive, and do not defend
themselves
Bullies also look to degrade and discriminate those are not like
them according to:
Race
Religion
Disabilities (physically and mentally)
Capabilities (academic performance, athletics, etc.)

7. Computers
Cell Phones
Online/ Group Chats
Cameras
Peers

8. • 74% of adolescent girls ages
12 to 18 spend the majority of
their time online in chat
rooms or sending instant
messages and email
• More than 1 in every 3
children have repeatedly
bullied
• 42% of kids have been bullied
while online

10. DO NOT respond to the bully
 This increases your chance of escalating
the problem and causing more trouble for
yourself
INSTEAD…
NEVER delete the messages a bully
sends to you, they are PROOF that they
are guilty!
 Save them, take a picture of them, or
email them to the principal or an official
Tell a friend or family member you can
trust and confide in

11. If you see your child dreading to go to school, decline in academic
performance, and in a depressed mood, a red flag should go up,
signifying something is bothering your child.
Without intervening too much at first, you should see if a child can
handle the situation alone.
If NOT…
Contact guidance counselors of the school if the bully is in the same
school, if that does not work, parents must contact the parents of
the bully.
 Usually, this is a very effective method to solve this incident, therefore
ending this act of bullying peacefully.
Lastly… But, if the Cyber Bully is sending threats, intimidation
messages or obscene material, then police authorities need to be
notified immediately. Usually at this level, professional help for the
victim seems the next step to helping the victim
