I
chose this graphic because it summed up the bulk of what my article was
about. It gave a great description
of what it means. Cyberbullying
was described as using some form of technology to harass or threaten another
person. It is also a way to target
another person or embarrass them publicly. It occurs most often in young people, but has a different
name when adults are involved. In
that case, people call it cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking. I was unaware of this until I read this
article.
What
I enjoyed most about this article was the information that will help parents
deal with this issue. It gave some
effects that it has on children, signs of bullying to look for, and how a
parent can help. The most
important tip from this article was to ‘know your kids’ online world’. If you monitor and keep track of what
your child is doing online, then you will know what is happening with your child. This is the best form of prevention in
my opinion.

Your article seems very similar to the article I read, which was about cyberbulling prevention and intervention strategies. I agree that parents have a significant role to play in preventing cyberbullying. Parents need to monitor their child's computer/phone use and talk to them specifically about bullying. This seems like a pretty obvious suggestion, so I wonder why more parents are not playing an active role in preventing cyberbullying from happening. Are they just too busy, or do they not want to make their child feel like they are invading their privacy?
ReplyDeleteThis article seems like it gave great tips for parents, and I especially like the one "know your child's online world". Laura brought up a great question: Are parents too busy or do they not want to make their child feel like they are invading their privacy? I think that it's a mixture of both. Some parents are too busy with their careers or social life and they feel like their child is just "being a kid"and their is no need to check their child's online activity.
