What It is: CYBERBULLY­ING

Cyberbully­ing, or bullying in cyberspace, involves haranguing someone by spreading mean words, lies, and false rumours through text mespsaosgt­ess., and social media

How to spot the signs:

Watch to see if your child (svpiseinti­ndgs smocoirael mtiemdeiao­pnalginees or texting) but appears to be sad and anxious afterward. Even though she’s reading painful things on her phone, this may be her only social outlet. Also take note if she has trouble sleeping, begs to stay home from school, or withdraws from activities she once loved.

Mean messages can be distribute­d anonymousl­y and quickly, leading to 24/7 cyberhbouu­llsyeinhgo,ldsorulfei­rsstfoersI­ntatebrlni­seht safety. Agree on age-appropriat­e time limits. Know tahbeupsoi­vpeulasrit­aensd, paoptpesnt­aianlldy digital devices before your children use them. Let them know you will be monitoring their online activities. Tell them that if they experience cyberbully­ing, they shouldn’t engage, respond, or forward it.
