Presented by: Agravante and Pongyan

2. What is cyber bullying?
• Cyber bullying is the use of electronic communication
to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an
intimidating or threatening nature.
• "children may be reluctant to admit to being the
victims of cyberbullying"

3. Causes of Cyber Bullying
The exact reason of why
people do cyber bullying is
unknown. Revenge motivated
some individuals to do cyber
bullying.

4. Effects of Cyber Bullying
Being victims of bullying in daily
lives make them think harassing other
people is only something that is
natural as some people deserve to be
bullied.

5. Possible Solutions
1. Limit Personal Information That is Shared
• If someone doesn’t know your telephone number,
address, or other personal information, then it becomes
more difficult to take online bullying offline. One of the
worst issues of cyberbullying is that it never stops. This
can help to make it stop.
2. Talk to People
• By being aware of cyberbullying and initiating
conversations about it, we can all work together to help
recognize it and then eliminate it. Encourage children to
discuss anything they find online that makes them
uncomfortable. Parents – check on what kids are doing
online and don’t just take their word for it. Kid – let your
parents help. You don’t have to do this alone.

6. 3. Never Go Somewhere to Meet a Person You’ve Met
Online.
• If you don’t know the person who wants to meet you,
then don’t go meet them. This applies more to children
than adults, but the advice still applies. The number of
issues that people have encountered by using dating
sites is similar to the overall statistics of cyberbullying.
4. Do Not Post Pictures of Your Body Online.
• Any pictures that are uploaded to the internet should be
appropriate and respectful of yourself and others. If you
would be embarrassed if someone else outside of your
friends, family, or intimate partners saw the photo, then
it shouldn’t go online.

7. 5. Be Respectful to Others.
• Just because someone is being mean doesn’t give anyone the right to be
equally mean. One of the easiest ways to stop cyberbullying is to
permanently block those who might be trying to cause harm. This can be
done by reporting emails, messages, or status updates to the platform
that hosted the message in the first place. If you respond in kind to a
cyberbully, you’re giving them the reaction they were wanting in the first
place.
6. Never Give Out Your Password.
• Even your best friends should not have your password, but your parents
should if you’re a teen or younger. This isn’t because your parents want
to invade your privacy. It is because they want to make sure you are safe.
As for the parents: there must be an effort to develop a nurturing
relationship that encourages kids and teens to discuss their concerns.
More than half of all people see bullying happen at least once per week,
but it is rarely reported to anyone.

8. 7. Save Whatever Evidence You Have.
• Back before the internet, the only evidence of bullying came
either from eyewitnesses, a bruise, or a black eye. With
cyberbullying, you have written evidence that can help to
identify the perpetrator. Capture the words, pictures, video, or
other content that has been posted. Save the IP address if you
have it. Print out emails. Even if it is minor stuff, saving the
evidence will help you be able to establish a pattern of
harassment that can be used to make this behavior stop for
good.
8. Stand Up and Say Something.
• By saying nothing, we all empower bullies to keep doing what
they are doing. Cyberbullies feel anonymous, but they are not.
Even if you aren’t the target of a cyberbully, you may be able to
report the behavior when you see it. This is something that we
must all be willing to do, even if it seems scary at the time.
