Anti Social Media Behaviour – Cyber Bullying Module The issue of cyber bullying is becoming greater, especially among teens online. In February this year the National Association of Principles and Deputy Principles called upon the Government to introduce a National Policy to tackle Cyber Bullying after a survey found that there was a 33% increase in Cyber-Bullying since last year. Digital Training Institute Managing Director and Young Minds Online Founder, Joanne Sweeney-Burke has backed the calls by NAPD to establish formal training for teens and parents in social media and has now developed a course for students and teens to help tackle Cyber
In the wake of reports from the NAPD that cyber-bullying has seen a 33% increase in just a year we have put together a few steps for a child or teen to take if they are being bullied online. 1. Firstly always remember what is happening is not your fault and that nobody deserves to be treated that way. 2. If you are being cyber-bullied tell someone you can trust, a parent, an aunt or uncle or a teacher. Noone can help you if they don’t know and nobody should have to deal with the upset caused by online bullying
