Have you been the victim of cyberbullying?

Have you been the victim of cyberbullying? Cyber-terrorism? Cyber threats? Cyber stalking? This issue seems to be growing as the internet becomes more popular. There are increasing support groups on the internet to help you deal with these problems. http://www.ncpc.org/cyberbullying is just one website that may offer support and solutions if you have become the victim of cyber terrorism.

Cyberbullying is increasing minute by minute. People who use the internet have relatively few REAL friends. Social networks like My Space, Facebook and forums seems to harbor the most malicious postings by cyberbullies. Little, if any, content responsibility on many websites that house forums or permits anonymous postings, is acknowledged or dealt with properly, which is why being harassed over the internet has increased.

"Cyberbullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others." -Bill Belsey

What Can Be Done About cyberbullying?

Awareness and education are the keys to the prevention of cyberbullying!
Spend some time on this Web site learning what you can about cyberbullying. At this time, it is often a very hurtful, difficult and time consuming challenge to deal with the effects of cyberbullying after it has occurred. It can take a lot of time and effort to get Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Mobile Telecommunications Service Providers (the phone companies who sell you your cell phone and pagers) to respond and deal with your complaints about being cyberbullied.

If you are Canadian, Canadian telecommunications companies and Canadian Internet Service Providers have been asked to work with http://www.cyberbullying.ca/ in a national proactive, educational initiative that will help make Canadians more aware of the cyberbullying, how to prevent it and what to do if you and/or those you known and care for are ever cyber bullied.

If you would like to share your stories or experiences regarding cyberbullying, You can share these with us privately at cyberbulliedinternational@gmail.com . If you wish to share your story publicly, you can do so here on Cyberbullied International. I am going to do my best to act as an unofficial ombudsman for those who are being cyberbullied through the internet by posting your stories, experiences and your personal thoughts so that perhaps government and law officials will step up to the plate to put an end to cyber stalking and bullying.
