Persistent, Permanent, Hard to Notice
Kids who are being cyberbullied are often bullied in person as well. Cyberbullying can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reach a kid even when he or she is alone.
Cyberbullying messages and images can be posted anonymously and distributed quickly to a very wide audience. It can be difficult and sometimes impossible to trace the source. Deleting inappropriate messages, texts, and pictures is extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent.
Why is cyberbullying different?
It can happen any time of the day or night.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BULLYING AND CYBERBULLYING
Bullying | Cyberbullying |
Only students in the class and/or the school are involved; | Children and adults from all over the world can be involved; |
Usually, only those who have a strong character, capable of imposing their own power, can become a bully; | Anyone, even those who are victims in real life, can become cyberbullying; |
Bullies are students, classmates or Institute companions, known to the victim; | Cyberbullies can be anonymous and solicit the participation of other anonymous so-called “friends” so that the person does not really know who they are interacting; |
Bullying actions are told to other students in the school where they took place, are limited to a specific environment; | The material used for cyberbullying actions can be spread worldwide; |
Bullying takes place during school hours or on the journey from school to school, school to home; | Aggressive communications can take place 24 hours a day; |
School or class group dynamics limit aggressive actions; | Cyberbullies have ample freedom to do online what they couldn't do in real life; |
Need for the bully to dominate in interpersonal relationships through direct contact with the victim; | Perception of invisibility on the part of cyberbullies through actions hidden behind technology; |
Visible reactions from the victim and visible in the act of bullying; | The absence of visible reactions from the victim which do not allow cyberbullies to see the effects of his actions; |
The tendency to evade responsibility by taking violence on a playful level. | Personality splitting: the consequences of your actions are attributed to the created "user profile". |
GLOSSARY

- Wide audience = pubblico vasto
ITALIAN SUMMARY
Il cyberbullismo è diverso dal bullismo perché può raggiungere le vittime in ogni momento del giorno e della notte attraverso messaggi difficili da cancellare una volta inviati
DEFINITIONS
- Cyberbullying= the activity of using messages on social networking sites, emails, text messages, etc. to frighten or upset somebody
- Anonymously = by somebody who does not want their name to be known or made public
You might look at the internet in private, but anything you share can quickly become very public. Knowing these five types of internet abuse—which have been used by cyberbullies to embarrass, exploit and harass others—as well as strategies for protecting yourself against them, can help you avoid running into problems.

Tagging without permission
Flaming
Sex re-posting
Impersonation and identity theft
What are common cyberbullying tactics?
Social exclusion might be one of the mildest forms of cyberbullying, but it can cause serious distress: it's the online equivalent of leaving someone out of a group to which they should expect automatic membership.
Tagging is a way of attaching a person's name to an online image so that their name appears on the image, or so that images of a particular person can be identified by searching for tagged images using their name.
Flaming is the practice of posting derogatory comments about another person or posting up untrue information about someone in order to damage her image or reputation.
Impersonation is pretending to be someone else and can range from obvious mockery to actually borrowing or stealing someone's identity—such as their name, image, or identifying information—to carry out actions which are attributed to the victim.
Younger internet users, especially teenage girls, can also be flattered into sexting images of themselves, or flashing on a webcam, by predators, pedophiles, and pornographers who can use these images for cybersex. This is known as coercion and is a form of internet abuse.
GLOSSARY
- Abuse= abuso
- Exploit=sfruttare
- Harass=molestare
- Cyberbullies=bulli
- Flattered=lusingato/a
ITALIAN SUMMARY
Esistono vari tipi di cyberbullismo:
- ESCLUSIONE SOCIALE - L'esclusione sociale è una delle forme più lievi di cyberbullismo, ma può causare gravi disagi. Potrebbe includere un'intera classe che non accetta una richiesta di amicizia da un determinato compagno di classe
- TAG SENZA AUTORIZZAZIONE - La codifica è un modo per allegare il nome di una persona a un'immagine online in modo che il suo nome appaia sull'immagine, o in modo che le immagini di una determinata persona possano essere identificate cercando le immagini taggate usando il loro nome.
- FLAMING - Il flaming è la pratica di pubblicare commenti sprezzanti su un'altra persona o pubblicare informazioni false su qualcuno al fine di danneggiare la sua immagine o reputazione.
- SEX RE-POSTING - Il sexting è un'attività rischiosa, ma quando sei in una relazione, puoi essere attratto dal sexting di una tua foto alla persona amata senza pensare al potenziale rischio futuro che possa essere usato contro di te
- FURTO D’IDENTITA’ - Si finge di essere qualcun altro e si può andare dall'evidente beffa al prendere in prestito o rubare l'identità di qualcuno - come il suo nome, immagine o informazioni identificative - per compiere azioni che sono attribuite alla vittima.
DEFINITIONS
- Tagged = the use of strength or power to frighten or hurt weaker people
- Cyberbullying = the activity of using messages on social networking sites, emails, text messages, etc. to frighten or upset somebody
- Derogatory = showing a critical attitude towards somebody
- Pedophiles = a person who is sexually attracted to children
What are the consequences of cyberbullying?
Cell phones and computers themselves are not to blame for cyberbullying. Social media sites can be used for positive activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for entertainment. But these tools can also be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar. Kids who are cyberbullied can:

Cyberbullying happens for many of the same reasons as any other type of bullying, but it may be even more appealing because it can be done anonymously. Kids or teens may bully because they think it’s the best way to be popular, and hurting others makes them feel powerful.

- Talk – Ask questions to learn what is happening, how it started, and who is involved.
- Document – Keep a record of what is happening and where. Take screenshots of harmful posts or content if possible.
- Report – If a classmate is cyberbullying, report it the school. You can also contact app or social media platforms to report offensive content and have it removed. If a child has received physical threats, or if a potential crime or illegal behavior is occurring, report it to the police.
- Support – Peers, mentors, and trusted adults can sometimes intervene publicly to positively influence a situation where negative or hurtful content posts about a child.

Megan Meier
This horror story is a case of child depression made worse because of cyberbullying. Megan had suffered from severe depression from the age of eight and was already taking antipsychotics and antidepressants. While they helped slightly, she still suffered from her mental illnesses.
A female neighbor set up a MySpace account and pretended to be a male to tease Megan. At first, Megan found herself attached to this “Josh Evans,” but “he” later turned on her and started discussing some rumors “he’d” heard. At first it all started private but then he started sharing their private messages and went public with a declaration that the world would be better without her.
Megan, already susceptible to depression, believed that comment. After telling him that “you’re the kind of boy a girl would kill herself over,” she took her own life in her bedroom. She was just 13 years old.
Kenneth Weishuhn
It’s not only girls that suffer from cyberbullying. While most horror stories involve girls, there are many young boys who have to deal with the torment and horrible words. Kenneth Weishuhn was one of those boys, who was bullied because of his sexual orientation. Being gay is hard as a teen without the bullying, but it’s worse when your classmates create an anti-gay Facebook group and make death threats over the phone.
This wasn’t just from enemies or people he barely knew. After he “came out,” his own friends joined in with tormenting him or they would play ignorance and never step up for their friend. Kenneth was continually harassed in school and online and eventually killed himself. He was just 14 years old.
