Decreasing Bullying and Cyber Bullying in Schools

The increased use of social media by our children is creating a platform for bullying in schools. Monitoring their behavior online and early intervention by both parents and schools will help with decreasing this epidemic. Data from the national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) showed in 2017, 19% of high school students were bullied on school property and 15% were bullied online (CDC, 2018). The same motivations that lead adolescents to bully in a traditional sense have now moved on to social media sites like Facebook and Instagram (Carter, 2013). Due to negative impact of bullying and cyberbullying, schools need to have a protocol and a resolution when an incident is reported. By coming up with specific strategies that teachers can utilize, they can have a direct impact on the cyberbullying incident (Stauffer, Heath, Coyne, & Ferrin, 2012). Having the teacher sit down with the bully and the victim proved to be a useful strategy in helping mediate the situation (Stauffer, Heath, Coyne, & Ferrin, 2012). There are many measures that can be taken at home and in school that can help with early intervention of bullying. Monitoring students’ online behavior closely and making sure that they are using “Cyber-Kindness” when they are online will help. Promoting healthy, positive online behavior along with education into cyber bullying will make kids less likely to victimize. Having an open line of communication with your child and their school will help if a situation comes up it can be dealt with as soon as possible. Having guidelines for both teachers and parents that lay out information that they can utilize like bringing both students in, and taking away privileges, will help with this increasing problem.

Trolling

I think it's important to eventually add a section to this article specifically focusing on trolling in online spaces. It is mentioned in passing throughout the article, but it could be useful to provide a clear definition of the term as well as statistics linking trolling to the accessibility and effects of cyberbullying. --98hmarie (talk) 04:21, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Cyberbullying isn't real

You cannont be bullied if it is easily preventable via blocking, even if they make more accounts it takes two seconds to block someone. And therefore Cyberbullying isn't real. Pyromilke (talk) 12:29, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
