Cyber Bulling and Prevention Walkthrough

2. What is Cyberbullying any way?
This involves the use of information and communication technologies such as e-mail, cell phone and pager text
messages, instant messaging (IM), defamatory personal Web sites, and defamatory online personal polling Web sites,
to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group that is intended to harm others."
– Reference from Bill Belsey, Cyberbullying Expert.

3. But why do bullies bully?
Jealousy: When folks are jealous of you, an inner demon takes them over. Then the defame, harass and discredit you.
Insecurity: Remember that bullies are often lacking something crucial in their lives and they seek pain in others, so do not
fill this void for them by giving them a reaction.
Intimidation: You are something they can never be or doing something they can never do. Hatred and envy sets in and the
bullying begins.

5. What should you do if you are bullied? Keep being the best at what you are doing. This angers them even more. They
hate progress. Their wish is to see you cry day and night but don’t.
Your reaction is exactly what they are seeking. Instead,
• document everything, and seek the proper authorities.
• Unfortunately cyberbullying allows cruelty at all ages to play out in a 24-7 arena.
• keyboard can be used as a lethal weapon today, and sadly more adults especially women have caught on.
I call upon you today and challenge you to replace those cyber-bullets with words of kindness. As grown-ups and
leaders we need to lead by walking the talk.
Every post we make public, every text message we send, every email we write, should exhibit respect for ourselves
and others.

8. • Speak and type with respect, because words hurts. They leave lasting scars and the scars left by bullying are very
difficult to erase.
• Do unto others as you want them to do unto you.
• Educate yourself on bullying and how to combat it. You might not be a victim, but knowing how to react when you
encounter harassment can be very important. You can also help others with what you know.
• Let’s teach ourselves and our children that it is so beautiful to care at all ages, and that being nice despite all the
stones thrown at you by bullies isn’t that difficult. From boys, to girls, to adults and to entire villages – we as
women and parents can make a difference by acting as cyber-shields.
• And finally, I cannot emphasize enough about the importance of investing in yourself. Of making you a first rated
version of you than a second rated or an imitation of someone else. It is magical because it takes the distraction
off other people and put on you. I speak from experience. I have been bullied so badly but I decided to ignore and
turn my head and focus on me and just keep going.
