End Bullying! Start Peace!
Facts about the abuse:
-Over half of all adolescents have experienced cyber bullying.
-20% experience bullying regularly.
-The majority do not tell their parents about the abuse.
-10% of teens have had compromising photos taken of them against their will.
What can be done:
We can put a stop to cyber bullying, but it requires the help of the community. We could further educate children about the dangers of online communication, and teach them effective tactics to avoid bullying, such as blocking online contact with the offender. We could also better show children the harm that cyber bullying causes through campaigns.
