1. Bullying Hits the Big
Screen!

is
when
a
child,
preteen
or

is
tormented,
threatened,
harassed,
humiliated,
embarrassed
or
otherwise
targeted
by
another
child,
preteen
or

using
the
Internet,
interac8ve
and
digital
technologies
or
mobile
phones.

4. 81% of young people think bullying online
is easier to get away with than bullying in
person…
By using screen as a mask to hide behind.

5. With the advancement of technology
comes the advancement of
aggression, violence, and hatred.
Sometimes, harsh words hurt more
than physical violence.

6. It
is
hard
to
resist
the
tempta.ons
around
us
As
¾
of
teens
have
social
media
accounts

8. Youth take the many available forms of social
media and USE THEM TO SPREAD HATEFUL
MESSAGES

9. “…
a
rumor
started
at
a
random
node
of
the
Twi:er
network
in
average
reaches
45.6
million
of
the
total
of
51.2
million
members
within
only
eight
rounds
of
communica.on”
Rumors
and
gossip
spread
like
wild
fire
online,
much
faster
than
word
of
mouth.

10. Cyberbullying can take a huge toll on someone
emotionally, hindering their social and mental health
This is because there is no escaping cyber bullies.We are
constantly connected to social media, even once we leave
school grounds.

suicide after being repeatedly cyberbullied.

16. Amanda is not alone in her
suffering.
20% of kids who are cyberbullied
contemplate suicide, and 1 in 10
actually attempt it.
That is 4500 kids
per year.

17. You
may
feel
innocent
when
witnessing
cyberbullying
online.
However,
bystanders
exist
in
the
cyber
world
as
well
by:
1.
Ignoring
what
is
happening
2.
Witnessing
cyberbullying
without
taking
ac8on
3.
Ignoring
it
and
being
grateful
i8s
not
you
who
is
being
cyberbullied

18. We must be cautious
of what we say online
and what we fail to
say. A simple ‘like’ or
comment, or not
saying anything at all,
can mean the
difference between
life and death.
