Face-to-face bullying is on the decrease which is great news … BUT cyberbullying is rife. The worse thing is that it is usually anonymous - which is doubly unsettling.
The bullying statistics are alarming.
A while back Guardian recently reported that more than half of
children aged 11 to 16 have been bullied about the way they look,
with 40% targeted at least once a week, research has found.
More than half (53%) of young people who experienced bullying based
on their appearance said they had become anxious as a result and
29% had become depressed. One in 10 said they had had suicidal
thoughts and 9% that they had self-harmed …
and the figures are still rising.
Many parents are able to understand “in-person” bullying, from their own experiences so they are better prepared to support their children who are under fire.
However, the goalposts have changed since we were youngsters and thanks to the advancement in technology the bullies can now hide behind their anonymity … enter the new phenomenon Cyber Bullying.
