Although cyberbullying has been of our list of matters to blog about, I was not made aware October’s significance until I saw this video entitled TV Anchor Gets Called Fat, Has an Awesome Respond. “An anchor for a CBS affiliate in LaCrosse, Wisc., took what could have been a hurtful comment from a viewer and turned it into a powerful tirade against online bullying. Jennifer Livingston of WKBT-TV read a letter from a viewer who took issue with the fact that she is overweight. “Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make and one of the most dangerous habits to maintain,” the viewer wrote. “I leave you this note hoping that you’ll reconsider your responsibility as a local public personality to present and promote a healthy lifestyle.”” Read more

7. Effects of Bullying – CovenantEyes
“While bullying through physical intimidation
has long been a problem among teenagers,
cyberbullying by using computers and smart
phones to send rumors or post cruel messages
has become more prevalent in recent
years,” explains Dr. Jennifer Caudle. “Even
though there might not be physical injuries,
cyberbullying leaves deep emotional scars on
the victim.”
Warning signs of being cyberbullied can
include:
• appearing sad, moody, or anxious
8. • experiencing a drop in grades
• appearing upset after using the computer
• appearing upset after viewing a text message

9. How to protect yourself
The End of Bullying Begins with Me: that’s the
message during PACER’s National Bullying
Prevention Month in October.
According to Reachout Australia
• Don’t share your private information like
passwords, name and address, phone
numbers with people you don’t know. Be
cautious about sharing photos of yourself,
your friends and your family
• Don’t respond to messages when you are
angry or hurt – either to strangers or people
you know. This will often encourage them to
continue or increase their harassment of you
10. • Log out and stop messaging if you feel you
are being harassed
• Remember you have the option to block,
delete and report anyone who is harassing you
online and on your mobile
• Find out how to report bullying and
harassment on each of the different social
networks that you use – see the Easy guide to
socialising online for info on how to do this on
different sites
• Keep a record of calls, messages, posts and
emails that may be hurtful or harmful to you
• Remember to set up the privacy options on
your social networking sites like Facebook in a
way you are comfortable with.
