It spread to social media where a group of children tormented her. They took pictures of Mallory at school, without her knowledge, posted them online and taunted her with text messages containing sereenshots of the vicious comments made about her. “They called her horrible names and told her you have no friends and even said, when are you going to kill yourself,” said her mother, Dianne Grossman. Ms Grossman frequently reported the bullying to the school, but the harassment continued. She said that by the time she found out about the full scope of the cyberbullying, it was too late. “The vicious things Mallory’s peers said about her became her reality,” her mother said. “No matter how untrue they were, she started believing it. Words matter — they have the ability to cause significant harm.” A report last year from the Pew Research Center found that 59 percent of teens said they had been bullied or harassed online — and that many of them think teachers, social media companies and politicians are failing to help. Cyberbullying includes tactics like posting vicious comments (including text messages), spreading rumors, making threats, telling people to kill themselves, impersonating someone through a fake account and creating a social media account to harass someone. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that any type of bullying increases a child’s risk for anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, academic problems, and there’s a significant connection between bullying and suicide-related behaviors. A bullying expert in Maryland, Dr Mildred Peyton, reported that bullied children experience shame and humiliation and constantly worry about who else has seen and shared the post in which they are ridiculed. But the impact of cyberbullying is often minimized because of the notion that there is no physical threat — the bully is not there and targeted children could just avoid going online. However. experts say that the children eventually feel the real-life impact when online pictures and rumors about them spread through their schools. Dr Peyton concurred, saying that people feel emboldened behind a computer screen, and a mob of children making cruel comments can easily form. ‘A 2016 report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine reports that bullying is a “significant public health problem” with long-term negative effects.
