CYBERBULLYING

Next week is behind me, I can’t believe it. The second post is wainting to publicate – today I want say something about Cyperbullying.

But first I want to talk about statistics of 31st December, 2019 about the World Internet Usage (link) shows that 58,7% of the population uses the net. In North America is the higher percentage (94,6,%) and the smallest is the Africa (39,3%).

Mostly cyberbullying victims are youth and children, that as many as 20-50% of young people have fallen victim to insults, ridicule on the Internet. Why often concern children? Because their do not understand difference between a joke and bullying. Mostly we hear “I’m just kidding” or “don’t take it serious”, but this still hurt others. And cyberbullying is easier than bullying (which remember our parents), because perpretator do not see the face other people, he/she do not see emotions. We can post few words, we have to not take a paint and writing this on wall. We press only enter. And few words or photo – will start to live own life in the Internet.

In the end, I have for you short film from UNICEF – this is one part of their anti-bullying campaing.
