Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying can be defined as the use of information and communication technologies to

support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group that is intended

to harm others. Cyber bullying is mostly conducted by kids that have very early authority to

these technologies. The problem is boosted more by the truth that bully can hide behind a fake

name, disguising his or her true identity while carrying out these crimes. This anonymity makes

it very hard to track the bully which encourages the bullies to further elevate their actions.

Cyber bullying is distinct from regular physical bullying due to the anonymity that the Internet

provides. Cyber bullies do not have to admit their actions publicly due to the anonymity they

gain and cyber bullying is mostly beyond the legal reach of school boards since it mostly takes

place outside of the school premises. Cyber bullying comes in various forms some of them

include flaming, persecution, disparagement, imitation, cyber stalking, and threats. Cyber

bullying consists of acts as making personal threats, sending provoking insults or racial insults,

trying to inject the victim's computer with viruses and spamming his/her inbox with mails. The

victim can deal with cyber bullying up to some extent by limiting his/her computer connection

time, ignoring threatening or defamatory messages, and ignoring mails from unknown sources.

More effective and high-tech measures include the blacklisting or white listing of e-mail

accounts, changing e-mail addresses frequently, switching ISPs, switching cell phone accounts

and trying to trace the source. The use of communication technology is comparatively new so

stern laws against cyber bullying are yet to be effectively implemented. As for the time period,

the crime is covered by the existing laws against threats and harassment. In some cases, it may

be suitable to take help from the local police department or to seek an attorney. Retaliation in

these cases isn’t an option since this can increase the level of threats and upscale the situation.

The sense of anonymity provided in online environments can lead people to say things that are
harsher than what they would say in person. Teens and children who experience cyber bullying
are at risk of emotional, behavioral and mental health issues. Cyber bullying has even led to
teen suicide. Teens who are bullied are at a higher risk for suicide. Some studies have shown
that children who experience cyber bullying can be up to two times as likely to attempt suicide.

Cyberbullying differs from face-to-face bullying in several ways including that it is:

Persistent – Digital devices offer an ability to immediately and continuously communicate 24

hours a day, so it can be difficult for children experiencing cyberbullying to find relief.

Permanent – Most information communicated electronically is permanent and public, if not

reported and removed. A negative online reputation, including for those who bully, can impact
college admissions, employment, and other areas of life.
Hard to Notice – Because teachers and parents may not overhear or see cyberbullying taking
place, it is harder to recognize.

Cyber bullying on social media is linked to depression in teenagers, according to new research

that analyzed multiple studies of the online phenomenon. Cyber bullying has received high level

of inspection because of series of high-profile suicides of teenagers that were bullied across

various social sites daily. In 2013, for example, a bunch of suicides were associated to the social

network Ask.fm, which is a site where users can ask questions anonymously. The deaths of

teens who had been subject to abuse on the site prompted Ask.fm (which was acquired by

Ask.com in 2014) to launch new safety efforts.

Despite the fact that tons of investigation has yet to be done to help fully understand the

consequences of cyber bullying, researchers have concluded that, victims of cyber bullying

show negative reactions which are also common among the victims of traditional bullying. In

fact, it could be stated that cyber bullying has even more serious ill effects that that of

traditional because victims are not able to escape the grasp or their bullies easily, since these

cyber attacks turn permanent after they get introduced to the virtual online universe, students

may also experience a long lasting sense of victimization because of continually revisiting the

incident, thus resulting in depression and various types of mental malfunctions.

Cyber bullying has been linked to multiple maladaptive emotional, psychological, and

behavioural outcomes. The physical and metal effects of cyber bullying vary depending on the

victim, but the consequences include low self esteem, anxiety, feeling sad, being scared, feeling

embarrassed, depression, anger, truancy, decreased academic achievement, an increased

tendency to violate others, school violence, and suicide. There is a relationship between

Internet harassment and depressive symptoms, with targets of online harassment reporting

more frequent cases than non-targets.

Dig in deep to identify the main cause. Bullies in some cases start out as a friend, an ex, or
someone who is well known to the victim. If it is possible to have a conversation with the
person, than ask him or her to stop. Having the conversation in person would be more effective
rather than over text or email.

Ignore the messages sent by the bully. If asking him or her to stop wont work then ignore the
messages, emails or attachments that you receive from the bully. Bullies want to squeeze out a
reaction from their targets, so replying back to a text from them will most likely only make
things worse than they already are.

Block the bully. Immediately put an end to the bully's most invasive threats by blocking that
person from direct communication with you. Once you've made sure all prior messages have
been saved.

Update your account settings. Prevent the person from finding a new way to contact you by
limiting the amount of personal information you make available online

Don’t wait for long to get help from others while facing these kind of situations. The bully might
feel he is undetectable or no one can find him if you take too long to respond. Hence, patience
is not an option at least for this condition.

Various service providers have rules implied upon bullies so you should carefully review the
policies of your service provider and report the bully to them.

In some cases help against cyber bullying can also be taken from law enforcements. If the
condition gets worse and breaks the rules of the school premises of any other rights then the
best option would be to get help from the local police department.
Cyber bullying is a tremendously large problem amongst the teens nowadays. It not only effects
the victims but its consequences have an higher reach which can affect the loved ones and the
peers of the victim. Cyber bullying may be a far greater threat to the youngsters than we
consider it to be. The data I found on the web from the experts concludes that every 1 in 3
teens are cyber bullied.

Parents, governmental bodies and the society as a whole must come up together as one if we
are to stop this problem that haunts teenagers all around the globe. Together lets make the
web a bit more safe for the youngsters who use it daily.

Malnutrition is one of the main problem the world is facing today, especially when it comes to the
children. One of the main factors of Malnutrition is what scientist and nutritionist called
"Micronutrient Deficiency". Micronutrient Deficiency is a lack of essential vitamins and minerals
required in small amounts by the body for proper growth and development. Micronutrients include,
but are not limited to: Vitamins A, B, C and D. Calcium. Calcium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C make our
bones strong and helps in improving our immune system while Vitamin B and D provides energy
and helps us avoid diseases. And one of the main source of these vitamins and minerals is Milk.
Now, we chose 2 different brands of Milk, namely Alaska and Bear Brand, to know which of the two
brands really provide enough vitamins and minerals a average children must have.

As we see, they are many differences between the two milk brands. The differences are the
following:

1. Bear Brand has Potassium, Sodium, and Vitamin C while Alaska don't have. Potassium relief us
from stroke, blood pressure, heart and kidney disorders, anxiety and stress, as well as enhanced
muscle strength, metabolism, water balance, electrolytic functions, and nervous system. While
Sodium plays in enzyme operations and muscle contraction. It is very important for fluid
maintenance within the human body.

Vitamin C helps us improve our immune system.

2. Alaska has more Total Carbohydrates and Protein than Bear Brand. Carbohydrates are the main
source of our energy in the body while Protein build and repair our body tissues.

3. Lastly, Alaska has more Calcium, Vitamin A, and Iron. These three vitamins and minerals are the
most important nutrients a average child must have. These three is pivotal to a kid especially in
when he/she is in his/her growing years. Calcium is known for strengthening the bones, Vitamin A
helps in the maintenace and formation of teeth, soft tissue and has Beta-Carotene that is an
antioxidant and protect our cells from free radical damage. While Iron helps metabolize proteins
and plays a role in the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells.

In conclusion, either Alaska or Bear Brand are nutritious and can help and give benefits to ones
body and help build us stronger with our day to day lives. So choosing neither will matter, but if you
prefer one brand over another then better choose the one that you like.
