According to a recent AP-MTV survey of 1,247 14-to-24 year olds, 50% have experienced some form of digital abuse, including spreading lies, violation of trust, and digital disrespect. Another astounding finding of that survey is that 76% say digital abuse is a serious problem for people their age.
So cyberbullying is not some insignificant problem experienced by few. Cyberbullying is widespread, your children are aware of it, they understand how it happens and yet they are not aware of or concerned with the consequences of such actions. Here are some more mind boggling findings from that same survey:
- Just about half (51%) of young people say they
have thought about the idea that things they post online could come back
to hurt them later
- Just 1 in 4 have given some thought to the idea
that things they post online could get them In trouble with the police and
only 28% have considered that they could get in trouble at school for
those things.
How about you? Do you understand the dangers of cyberbullying?
It is widely known that face-to-face bullying can result in long-term psychological harm to victims, including low self-esteem, depression, anger, school failure and avoidance and in some cases, school violence or suicide.
In fact, in a study of over 3,000 students, one researcher found that 38% of bully victims felt vengeful, 37% were angry, and 24% felt helpless. According to a 2001 fact sheet on juvenile bullying produced by the the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and delinquency Prevention, victims of schoolyard bullying fear going to school and experience loneliness, humiliation, and insecurity. Moreover, they tend to struggle with poor relationships and have difficulty making emotional and social adjustments.
Cyberbullying is even more harmful to young people than face-to-face bullying for a number of reasons:
- Permanence: The
insults, comments or images can be preserved by the person who was bullied
or by others so that the victim may read or view them over and over again
and the harm is re-inflicted with each reading or viewing.
- Audience size: The
size of the audience that is able to view or access the damaging material
increases the victim’s humiliation.
- Familiarity: Many
young people are friends with or know their cyber bully either through
school or other personal connections, increasing the potential for
embarrassment and humiliation.
- Social Networking: Social
networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace allow cyber bullies to
engage in campaigns against a particular person which may involve many
others.
- Speed: The
speed at which harmful messages can reach large audiences also plays a
major part in making cyberbullying so damaging to the targets.
