Cyber-Bullying
Cyber Bullying
Cyber bullying involves unwanted messages, images, audio or
video sent by electronic means to threaten abuse or harm someone. It’s like physical
or verbal bullying, but used technology instead.
Examples of cyber bullying
include but are not limited to:
Ø
Abusive messages or slagging on Facebook,
Twitter, Snapchat
Ø
Offensive comments on videos or posts.
Ø
Spreading rumours online.
Ø
Hacking into your online accounts
Ø
Posting offensive images or posting doctored images
of victims.
Why do bullies bully?
Ø
They think it’s fun
Ø
They do it to get back at somebody they are mad
at (common amongst friends after a trigger event).
Ø
They feel bad about themselves.
How to avoid it?
Ø
Never give out your passwords
Ø
Restrict your privacy settings
Ø
Learn how to block and report
Ø
Pick your friends carefully
Ø
Be kind to other people online

Positive Messages Posters
Today the computer group were working on their "Positive Messages Posters" project. We received a free #Up2Us Anti-Bullying Kit from webwise.ie. In the kit there are activities for addressing bullying, colourful stickers and supplies for creating posters. This gave trainees the opportunity to get creative and give their input and ideas. The posters are based around cyberbullying. The poster will be displayed in the centre tomorrow for Internet Safety Day. The theme for Safer Internet Day 2018 is “Create, connect and share respect: A better internet starts with you”.
