• Happens around the clock (24/7). Also not just confined to the
school term, but it happens in holidays.
•The bully can be anonymous as he/she can set up false profiles
to target their victim
• It can be seen by many as it is posted on the internet. It can
also be difficult to take down
• Developed by groups and target a single school or area using
the Whisper App or ‘Dirty Little Secrets’ phenomenon

“In the experiment they were given 15 minutes
access to the internet, during which most
participants chose to visit social media sites. It
was found that about 30% of those taking part
had internet problems.”
“Additional research has found that people
with problems associated with internet use also
report experiencing severe problems across
various other areas of their lives, including
work, social relationships, as well as with their
physical and mental health.”

45. PEGI ’18’
The adult classification is applied when the level of violence
becomes gross. Gross violence is classed as horrific methods of
bringing death or severe injury, including torture, decapitation
or dismemberment.
Violence against vulnerable characters such as children and the
elderly may feature, along with motiveless violence against
multiple innocents. Sexual violence and threat are also
classified at PEGI 18.
The game may include detailed descriptions of criminal
techniques, or it may glamorise the use of illegal drugs.
