Cyber Bullying

Last night on Channel 4 (available on 4OD) was a cracking documentary on cyber bullying.
How many of us would know what cyber bullying is?
How many of us on here have been subjected to cyber bullying whilst online.
How many of us would know what to do if we were being cyber bullied.

There are some typical behaviors such as lighting the touch paper, creating the spark and then stepping back and watching it all unfold. Familiar to some I am sure.
There are clear methods of bullying.
And there are many more much more subtle forms of cyber bullying.

If you get a chance, watch the programme. It will be uncomfortable for some and eye opening for others.

Cyber Bullying !!

A practice that allows twisted people to say hateful things whilst hiding under a cloak of anonymity.

I haven't been subjected to it myself but my grandson was... via social media in particular Twitter

(No need for any reminders of age limit restrictions) ....

His life became untenable. I found out because of his change in personality.

All I will say at this point is....I fixed it. Evil

Wouldn't dream of asking.

But it does go to show how anyone can be a victim. On any website. At any time.

Happy to see that some have been brought to court and convicted over it too.....

I wasn't able to watch it whilst here in Spain. I have watched similar programmes though particularly since my own experience. I find every single programme difficult to watch....but necessary. I know it affects all age groups but children of school age worry me more than others. They seem to keep their feelings and experiences hidden ....until tragically it is too late for some.

What I do like to see is investigative programmes exposing these bullying trolls....

Internet trolls are evil. They start trouble then sit back and watch. Sounds familiar.

They cause untold alarm and stress.

In rare cases they go so far that the victim commits suicide.

The last news item than ran for a while was the case of an internet troll who had bullied for years a high profile couple who lost a child. Slightly reversed situation here. When the cyber bully was exposed rather than stand trial and face the shame she had brought on herself...she commited suicide.

These types of people need professional help to understand what their doing is wrong & can have effects mentally on the victim & also themselves
