This blog I'll start by reminding Ryan the
case struck me, perhaps because it was with that made me aware of the true
extent of this problem.
Ryan, a boy of 13 years contacted via SMS and
e-mail during the summer of 2003 with a schoolmate. 's Partner had no
interest rate by Ryan simply was following the game. At the end of the
holiday and found both at school, this companion called it "failed"
and mocked him in front of all your friends. On October 3, 2003, Ryan
killed himself.
Definition of cyberbullying
Cyberbullying takes place anytime, using any device (phone, PDA,
tablet, desktop, etc ...) and electronic service (e-mail, instant messaging,
social networking, etc ...).
The young man suffering physical harassment at school, the risk of
cyberbullying is seven times greater.
Mainly, parents, guardians and teachers need to pay attention to
the alarm indicators of violence such as isolation, worsening of school
performance and absenteeism.
Types of Bullyi
Flaming or heated
Discussion: Youth attack each other while chatting: You can be brief and
violent but can be a situation in which the partners insult and disrespect.
Harassment or Harassment:
Serious Insults and abuse. The attacker sends hundreds of abusive
messages.

uses different electronic media in order to pursue the victim. Follow
hostile to the victim with threats and false accusations.
Happy slapping or paste for
fun: Authors assault someone on the street while others recorded the scene and
posted on the Internet.

The data on the magnitude of cyberbullying are very
varied. There is an estimate that ranges from 4% to 15% of young people
affected depending on how you take the definition of cyberbullying and age
group or people, date and other factors.
Anonymity on the Net
Harassment in the network has a great ally, anonymity. Young
people can adopt false identities and spreading rumors or lies in wide range of
people. According to the publication Die Polizie in cyber attacks reduces
the natural inhibition that originates to harass another person because, not
face to face with their victims and can not immediately see the consequences of
their behavior
Traits stalker
Studies revealed that if there is a common factor among bullies
and victims is the low self esteem of both. In the profile of victims and
bullies-victims was also detected social anxiety disorders.
The child or adolescent stalker seek notoriety, wants to be
impassive and powerful, is motivated by jealousy and revenge and sometimes
harassment exercised only by boredom.
The more connected you feel the bully at school or their peers via
trust or partnership decreases the degree of harassment of other students.
In the probability bullies routinely presented another problem
behavior such as aggression or violation of rules increases the more harass
their peers. Cyber bullying can compensate and reinforce the low
self-esteem.
In 2010, 11.6% of young people between 12 and 18 admitted to
having been bullied in the network and 8% through mobile.
Listen alarm signals
Young people under school bullying state that subject for the same
suffer from depression, you feel helpless and find it hard to concentrate.
The effects of cyberbullying results in certain signs or warning
signs that parents and teachers should be aware of.
After a raid by
Internet or receive message, the young man feels irritated, avoid contact with
age peers and school performance worsens. Behavior is significant is
because, often do not have your problem to adults, specifically, according to
research just one in ten young adult reports someone suffering mobbing.
Teens should avoid posting on their profiles of social networks,
the publication of information that can be used against you. If a child or
young person has been bullied an effective way to react is to collect all the
material and messages of harassment and sent to the parents of the
bully.
If it is a harmless harassment delete and ignore
recommended. If the harasser is the same school must immediately notify
the same direction as well as counseling and educational psychology departments
in the case of having them.
Method "no blame
approach" (no indictment)
In the decade of 80s Barbara Maines and George Robinson, a
psychiatrist and director of a special school for children with behavioral
problems developed that system.
This model starts from the premise that bullying can not be
avoided in schools and the punishment is useless. Since this model is
intended to identify those involved in order to analyze the basic problems
together that have led to this situation. The goal is compression stalker
to his victim to eventually asked forgiveness and establish a friendly
relationship.
This model is applicable in situations where bullies known and
belong to the same school of vícitima.
In any case, sincerity and curiosity about the issues that concern
young people today, taking into consideration any suspicion of harassment and
putting aid to the victim of punishment to the author are the indispensable
foundations for parents, guardians and teachers wish to successfully solve the
problem.
