2. It is the use of the Internet and related
technologies to harm other people, in a
deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner. As it
has become more common in society,
particularly among young people, legislation
and awareness campaigns have risen to combat
it.

3. Origins
Cyberbullying emerged as online technology became more
accessible to teens. According to the Christian Science Monitor,
"After the school shooting at Columbine High School in 1999, many
schools began looking at bullying as a serious problem, and some
instituted zero-bullying policies. But cyberspace is a new territory,
and schools aren't sure how far to extend their jurisdiction." The
publication says bullies have evolved with new technology and
have moved from "slam books and whisper campaigns to email,
websites, chat rooms and text messaging."

4. How can you stop it once it starts?
Because their motives differ, the solutions and responses to
each type of cyberbullying incident has to differ too.
Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all" when cyberbullying
is concerned. Only two of the types of cyberbullies have
something in common with the traditional schoolyard bully.
Experts who understand schoolyard bullying often
misunderstand cyberbullying, thinking it is just another method
of bullying. But the motives and the nature of
cybercommunications, as well as the demographic and profile of
a cyberbully differ from their offline counterpart.

5. Educating the kids about the consequences (losing their
ISP or IM accounts) helps. Teaching them to respect
others and to take a stand against bullying of all kinds
helps too.

6. Most bullies bully to feel better
but the cyber-bullyies don´t
even bully face to face

7. ALCHOL AND DRUGS.
BAD GRADES.
LOW SELF-STEAM.
DEPRESION.
SKIPING SCHOOL.
OR SUICIDE

8. Social networks for children under 13 can be
bad or good depending from what way you see
it.

9. NO!
THERE ARE SOME SOCIAL
NETWORKS JUST SPECIALY FOR
KID UNDER 13 BUT NO ALL OF
THE ARE PERMITED.

10. How can it be harmful?
- In some social networks the content is not appropriate for
kids. It could also cause obesity or laziness.
How can it be useful?
- Useful because its free and it a way to communicate.

11. Pros: Cons:
- Easy way of comunication - Can be dangerous
- It can be safe - People don´t socialize face to face
- Makes people socialize

12. Parents can supervise with
parental control. Almost all
the social networks have a
parental control system, if not
instead they have good
security.

13. You see it right.

14. You see it wrong
