CYBERBULLYING

By: Daryl Clint Tenias

Cyber bullying is the act of harming or harassing via information technology networks in a repeated and deliberate manner.

Using technologies make our work easier but not too much because it will cause something illegal.

The practice of cyber bullying is not limited to children and, while the behavior is identified by the same definition when practiced by adults, the distinction in age groups sometimes refers to the abuse as cyber stalking or cyber harassment. When perpetrated by adults towards adults. Common tactics used by cyber stalkers are performed in public forums, social media or online information sites and are intended to threaten a victim’s earnings, employment, reputation, or safety. Behaviors may include encouraging others to harass the victim and trying to affect a victim and trying to affect a victim’s online participation. Many cyber stalkers try to damage the reputation of their victim and turn other people against them.

Cyber bullying can take place on social media sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and twitter. 93% of young people between the ages of 12 and 17 were online. In fact, youth spend more time with media rather than any single other activity besides sleeping. There are many risks attached to social media sites, and cyber bullying is one of the larger risks. One million children were harassed, threatened or subjected to other forms of cyber bullying on Facebook during the past year.

Cyber bullying can also take place through the use of websites belonging to certain groups to effectively request the targeting of another individual or group. An example of this is the bullying of climate scientists and activists.
