CYBER-BULLYING - (Media Literacy Week)

Dossier

CyberBullying Subscribe

Have you ever been bullied? Perhaps 'teased' to the point of discomfort? It might be a common phenomenon--particularly during the teenage years-- but it is never a positive experience and often leads to deep distress in the victim.

With the advent of social networking tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instant Messaging and the like, bullying has found a new breeding ground, hence the term Cyberbullying. There is much debate about its effects--how dangerous it is, whether it is worse than face-to-face bullying, how it can be stopped or prevented, and how common it is in the lives of people today.

In this dossier you can find moving testimonies from the bullied as well as research from the experts on how we can stop Cyberbullying and be more respectful to others in the digital domaine.
