Stop CyberbullyingBY: Vanessa, Daniela, Sheriff

Anonymity

• Anonymity is when someone makes aggressive comments to you, but can disguise themselves. This means that it can be hard for you to find out who sent you the hurtful message.

• This is an example of anonymity, where the bully’s identity is hidden. If someone is sending you a hurtful text message on your cell phone, unless you recognize the phone number it is sent from, there’s a really low chance your going to know who it is.

Pseudonyms• A pseudonym is like a nickname. Bullies may

name themselves a different name when they are on the internet, to when they are offline. They do this to keep their real character a secret from you.

• An example of a pseudonym is when you use instant messaging services like Facebook or Tumbler, you are known to others on internet by a nickname that you have picked.

Flaming• Flaming is a hard core fight, that mostly takes

place over instant messages, email and chat rooms. To add emotion to their argument, bullies use images, capital letters, and symbols.

Masquerading• Masquerading is when bullies pretend to be

someone who they really aren’t. They may make fake email addresses or instant messaging names or they might use someone else’s email or mobile phone to bully people. This will make people think someone else is bullying them.

Cyberstalking• Cyberstalking is a example of harassment.

Usually messages are sent through secret communications, like email or text messages.

• Cyberstalking can be very frightening. It can break up friendships, credit, careers, self-image, and confidence. It can lead the victim into far greater physical danger when connected with real-world stalking.
