The document is a presentation on cyberbullying that defines key terms and explores various aspects of the issue. It notes that while cyberbullying occurs less frequently than traditional bullying, it affects about 30% of students aged 11-16. The presentation also discusses how cyberbullying can occur both inside and outside of school, and how no one is truly safe from online attacks when accessing the internet from home. Statistical surveys of thousands of students are presented on the prevalence of cyberbullying and mean online behavior.

5. “Cyberbullying
…
can
be
defined
as
an
aggressive,
intenRonal
act
carried
out
by
a
group
or
individual,
using
electronic
forms
of
contact,
repeatedly
and
over
Rme
against
a
vicRm
who
cannot
easily
defend
him
or
herself.
Cyberbullying
is
a
form
of
bullying
which
has
in
recent
years
become
more
apparent,
as
the
use
of
electronic
devices
such
as
computers
and
mobile
phones
by
young
people
has
increased.”

Mahdavi,
Carvahlo

10. With
so
many

the

seems

And
with

11. But there are unseen
dangers lurking online…

12. Sadly,
there
are
a
lot
of
rude
individuals
online
who
do
not
share
your
opinions
and
will
afack
anyone
who
do
not
share
theirs.

13. For
a
while
you
can
go
to
the
world
from
your
seat,
the
world
can
afack
you
at
your
seat
No
one
is
truly
safe
online

14. 2 surveys done of students
11 – 16 years of age, for a
total of 533 pupils, revealed
that incidents of
cyberbullying were “less
frequent than traditional
bullying, but appreciable, and
reported more outside of
school than inside.”
(Smith, Mahdavi, Carvalho,
Fisher, Russell & Tippett,
2008)

15. StaRsRcally
speaking,
Kowalski
tells
us
that,
“in
a
naRonwide
survey
of
more
than
63000
childern
in
5th
through
8th
grade
conducted
by
i-­‐SAFE
America,
30%
said
they
had
said
mean
or
hurlul
things
to
another
person
online,
with
3%
saying
they
did
so
omen.
Conversely,
from
a
pool
of
approximately
20700
students,
30%
of
the
respondents
said
that
someone
had
said
mean,
hurlul
things
to
them
online.(Kowalski,
Limber
&
Agatston,2008)

16. “Thirty-four percent of the respondents in the
Young Canadians in a Wired World survey
reported having been bullied, with 74% of
these being bullied at school and 27% being
bullied over the Internet” (Wing, 2005)
(Smith, Mahdavi, Carvalho, Fisher, Russell &
Tippett, 2008)

17. According
to
the
arRcle
enRtled
“From
bullying
to
relaRonships:
Mapping
out
online
communicaRons”,
those
who
are
being
bullied
are
from
all
different
walks
of
life,
from
varying
social
status
groups
and
in
some
cases
are
friends
of
the
vicRms.
(Magazine
of
Psychology
&
Sociology,
2013)

18. While
most
would
think
cyberbullying
is
to
be
blamed
on
simply
allowing
bullies
access
to
the
Internet,
we
need
to
realize
that
someRmes
the
Internet
can
bring
out
the
worst
in
us;
all
that
freedom
can
make
us
think
there
is
nothing
that
can
stop
us,
so
if
there
is
a
person
we
do
not
like
we
can
afack
them
with
hurlul
comments
and
we
ourselves
then
become
the
bullies.

19. This
is
a
serious
concept
to
consider,
we
must
be
able
to
understand
we
are
not
completely
free
online,
we
cannot
say
and
do
whatever
we
wish,
we
must
learn
our
limitaRons
to
allow
other
to
have
a
safe
Rme
online,
without
the
fear
of
cyberbullying

20. How
Can
We
Help
Them?
Recently
the
Government
of
Ontario
has
enacted
Bill
14
–
AnR-­‐Bullying
Act,
2012
which,
“Requires
all
school
boards
to
take
preventaRve
measures
against
bullying,
issue
tougher
consequences
for
bullying
and
support
students
who
want
to
promote
understanding
and
respect
for
all.”
(www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/parents/bullying.pdf)

21. Kids
Help
Phone
“Kids
Help
Phone
(1-­‐800-­‐668-­‐6868)
is
Canada’s
only
free,
naRonal,
bilingual,
confidenRal
and
anonymous,
24
hour
telephone
and
online
consoling
service
for
kids
and
teens.”
(www.kidshelpphone.ca)

22. In
conclusion,
I
have
learned
working
on
this
presentaRon
that,
although
the
Internet
is
a
wonderful
tool,
we
must
learn
how
to
properly
use
it.
We
cannot
simply
afack
others
online.
We
should
accept
their
differences
and
move
on
with
our
own
lives
and
leave
others
in
peace
so
they
can
enjoy
their
own
online
experiences.
