1. SOCIAL MEDIA AWARENESS MONTH
Social Media Awareness Month
Our digital presence and “real” lives intertwine while institutions determine whether they should
review and investigate harmful student behavior.
Pursuant to Department of Education guidance, a school is considered to be on notice of a
potential Title IX violation if a responsible school employee knew should have known about the
alleged incident of sexual violence. This encompasses direct complaints from a victim as well as
indirect notice from a member of the local community, on a social networking site, or from the
media.
Despite numerous reported incidents of
cyberbullying around the world, we still remain
apathetic to them as most only believe that such
problems only confine to the children only.
However, such statements prove to be incorrect
when cyberbullying actually can come in many
different forms and it can even affect adults in
both subtle and dramatic manners. The constant
taunt and torment caused by irresponsible
people can drive others into severe depression
and madness.
Top Ways That You Can Use To Stop Social
Media Harassment
When you are facing cyberbullying or social media harassment, dealing with it can be very
tricky. Some even advocate that one should avoid using the Internet and stay away from it.
However, in an age when we constantly eye our cellphones or browse the web, such an approach
isolates people. The impractical solution does not address the root of the problem. There remain
better ways of handling and preventing cyberbulling while enjoying the best of technology.
Responding
When dealing with cyberbullying, the first and most important steps rest in your hands. As an
example, it is best that you should never respond to anything that the bully said. Besides, you
also should not even retaliate by doing the same back to the bullies because it is not just worth
the trouble and effort. In addition, retaliation only shows that you are not any better than them.
Furthermore, responding in such a way actually aggravates the problem by escalating it further.

2. Most importantly, you must remember that the bullies feed off your direct responses to them.
Hence, you must never give them the satisfaction by taking the bait.
Recording & Reporting
When it comes to recording and reporting any details of cyberbullying that involves you and
your good name, you must differentiate between being obsessed and relentless. The former
consumes your entire life with paranoia. It is highly recommended for you to adopt the latter
approach by reporting every bullying incident in a steady manner; one that does not take too
much from your own life. According to the iPrice gadget department, as you record and report to
the appropriate authorities (web administrators, police, and other relevant bodies), you are
actually deterring these “cyber attacks” from happening. This should be the correct message that
you want to send the bullies.
Blocking
This is another crucial step so that you do not have to be bothered by such nonsensical messages
that are being uploaded by the offending users. In order to prevent communication from the
bullies, you just need to block their email addresses, mobile numbers, and even social media
accounts. When you have done that, you will definitely feel relief as you have severed the link.
Express & Extinguish
When you encounter an incident of cyberbullying, talk to your close friends or family. Express
your feelings to them. Moreover, talking to other victims of cyber bullying also gives the kind of
support that you need. In fact, it feels good when it takes a huge weight off your own shoulders.
Just let go and enjoy life in a way that you should.
Perspective
No matter what age, nasty comments hurt in ways unimaginable. In many cases, these bullies’
warped versions of their own insecurities drive their actions. They channel their negativity by
uploading them to the Internet. Beyond internet interactions lies a bigger world, and you can
learn this childish behavior is laughable.
