REFLECTION PAPER ABOUT

WEBINAR OF CYBERBULLYING

Cyberbullying is spreading around the world. Harsher and more

serious than usual bullying I say this because it is accessible
online, where it will eventually be seen by millions and billions of
people. According to Sir Jonel, cyberbullying is the use of
technology to humiliate and harass individuals. Based on
research, cyberbullying is 22.5% from the mean comments we
post online, 35% from sharing a screenshot of someone's status
or photo to laugh at them, and 61% are bullied because of their
physical appearance. They may be bullying because they are
different in their appearance or because they have this disability.
This is my experience. Because I have a birthmark on the right
side of my face, many people call me black eye because of this,
and 56% are victims of harassment on Facebook. Young people
are experiencing many forms of cyberbullying today, such as
receiving intentionally harmful text messages, spreading rumors
or lies about someone online, sending images or videos intended
to embarrass someone, sending threats to someone, and setting
up and using fake online profiles to embarrass or intimidate
someone. Cyberbullying can have many effects on a youth, such
as increased stress and anxiety, a feeling of isolation and fear,
depression, decreased self-esteem and confidence, and bullying
can lead to suicide. We can do many things to prevent
cyberbullying, like block and report the person who bullies you,
take a screenshot or take evidence, and lastly, seek help from
trusted people. Sir Jonel has a message to the parents, and this
is to speak to your child and listen to what they say; never blame
your child for experiencing cyberbullying; acknowledge their
feelings and don't try to dismiss their experience; and lastly,
reassure them that there are people who can offer support. For
bystanders, get someone to help you report it; don't take part in
it; say something kind or positive to the person being
cyberbullied; and help the target or the victim report the incident
to a trusted adult. To all the young people who are experiencing
cyberbullying, don't blame ourselves if we are experiencing it
because we are not at fault but the people who do it to us. We
will always remember that we can get through this.
