How is cyberbullying different?
Cyberbullying is different because:
- it can occur 24/7 along with invasion of the house or home, the personal space.
- those who intimidate may attempt to remain anonymous.
- the audience can be very large and may receive the messages directly.
- there is no safe place – it is hard to escape.
- there are no geographical limitations.
- the victim can easily become the bully.
- cyberbullying can happen both between peers and between individuals of different ages.
- age or natural strength do not matter.
- viewers of an incident can also become part of it; for example, by spreading a humiliating photo.

STANDING UP TO CYBERBULLYING
Do you really know what is there for you on the Internet?
Make a simple search with your name to see what you find.
Online Reputation
- If you find something that you dislike, take the necessary action to make this content removed.
- If the pages you keep on Facebook or other social networking sites are easily tracked, you can change this in the "Security Settings".
- Create a positive digital footprint:
For example you may:
• build a blog about all the important things that interest you
• create a social networking page to showcase your family business
• create a video that will teach something new to others
