Q5.
Cyberbullying
is often abuse through emails, instant messages, text messages or other modes of electronic
communication.
This includes name-calling, lying about people to spoil their reputation. The bully may
even steal the victim’s password, hack
his or her accounts, and send embarrassing messages to others or
make expensive purchases.
Q6.
Anti-bullying activists say: “Never be bullied into silence”. The 21st century online
bullying can be
extremely dangerous and damaging to the emotional and physical development of youths because it opens
up its victims to 24-hour humiliation. Until our society recognizes cyberbullying
as a serious crime, the
suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue.
Q7.
Cyberbullying happens every day, since teens use the Internet regularly. Only 1 out of 10 victims of
cyberbullying tells a trusted adult or a parent about their abuse. This means that the
rest of them silently
suffer from deep depression. A cybervictim usually turns into a different person who starts doing badly at
school. Victims of cyberbullying are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider committing suicide.
