Cyberbullying

3.3.The effects of cyberbullying may not be noticeable at the very first moment, but the stress factor builds up overtime. It includes:

• Not wanting to go to school.
• Skipping school.
• Sudden self-esteem issues.
• Complaints of illnesses.

Cyberbullying is a very serious matter. Students have taken their own lives because they felt pressured, embarrassed and they they had no other alternatives.

Certainly, there is no way of avoiding it in the 99% of the cases but there are some positive impacts you should carry out if you are so.

As an student the first thing you have to do is to talk with an adult about it. It can make the difference between negative and positive consequences. Other things that could be also done include:

• Don't share anything personal with anyone that could pentially put it on the Internet.
• Save the bullying messsages or posting ass proof.
• Turn off your technology. Sometimes you need to take a break and step away from being engaged all the time.
