subject: How To Tackle Cyber Bullying? [print this page] With development of technology, now live matches are streamed through certain sites, latest books or movies can be downloaded, and cinema tickets or hotel reservations can all be done online. This has made the new generation a bit lazy, and less innovative. Thus they are naturally vulnerable to external influences and very easily let others rule their lives through online directions.
In the beginning of your online craze, you automatically release many of your private info on different sites. Chat rooms are an extensive craze with many, and through these interactions, you tend to tell more than required. Sometimes, people on the other side are intelligent and vicious enough to mold your life using the same information.
Side effects of Cyber Bullying
Facebook and MySpace have safety procedures that allow abuse report. However, if you keep mail interaction with the same fellow, it lies in your territory. No one else can make notes of what you are sharing with the cyber bully.
Cyber bullying of an extraordinary kind may even lead to attempts at suicides, cutting yourself off from parents and friends and becoming lonely. You may even be inducted into following occult trends. You should take heed and heart from the fact that there are agencies available that are there to support you against cyber bullying.
First hand precautions
But first, you should take your own precautions. Never place yourself in awkward waters by visiting unauthorized sites or downloading nude pictures. When law enforcement gets into depths of your case you will also be incriminated in that case. Use webcam discreetly, keeping a green curtain behind, hiding your actual home. Don't disclose information on your friends and parents as you have got no right to divulge their details without their permission.
You should not hide anything if you approach cyber bullying campaign runners. They will need info about your general talks, duration and initiation. There have some drastic cyber bullying crimes perpetrated in last few years. In some cases, people have become demented or gone into a permanent shell.
Role of parents and your cooperation
You should also keep nothing secret about your online chats and friends from your guardians. You are their responsibility and you should ensure that they are not blamed for your wrongs. Take their scolding or beating as their way to reform you, they don't hold any grudge against you; that is for sure.
Parents should take daily reports if you are following an online course. You should not be allowed wrong use of the net, and this is something you should not violate on moral grounds. Remember that any indecency helped by your parent's ignorance of PC will harm you only later on. No one is a better well wisher than your parents and you should appreciate that fact.
