Have you ever received a mean email or instant message? Have you ever sent one? This is called Cyberbullying..
"Cyberbullying involves 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." -Bill Belsey
A cyberbully uses the Internet, cell phone, or other device to send or post text or images to try to hurt or embarrass another person.
It's a lot like the bullying that happens at noon hour, recess or on the school bus, and it can hurt just as much
Make Sure You!
• Keep your password safe! You can tell your parents about it, but not anyone else — not even your best friend!
• Don’t share secrets, photos, or anything online that might be embarrassing if someone found out (like your entire school!).
• Set up email and instant messenger accounts with your parents
MAKE SURE
• You DO NOT to put your name, age, address, or phone number in your profile or screen name.
• DO NOT GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION ELECTRONICALLY TO ANYONE NO MATTER HOW LEGITIMATE THEY APPEAR ON-LINE
Don't send messages when you're angry. Wait until you cool off so you don't say something you'll regret.
Let bullies know that Cyberbullying is not OK. If your friends are Cyberbullying, tell
them that it’s not funny and that Cyberbullying hurts people.
If a cyberbully is bothering you:
• Don't respond to emails or messages that are mean to you or your friends.
• Don't open emails or messages from someone you know is a bully.
• Block anyone who acts like a cyberbully. • Don’t forward emails or messages that are
mean or that spread rumors about other people.
• Save or print all messages from bullies. • Show the messages to an adult you trust—
like a parent or a teacher—and ask for help
• If the first adult you tell doesn't help you, keep telling until someone does
Cyber bullying and the law
You should be aware that some forms of online bullying are considered criminal acts. Under the Criminal Code of Canada, it is a crime to communicate repeatedly with someone if your communication causes them to fear for their own safety or the safety of others.
It's also a crime to publish a “defamatory libel” – writing something that is designed to insult a person or likely to injure a person's reputation by exposing him or her to hatred, contempt or ridicule.
