Cyber bullying

1.0 PURPOSE


Holding an event for Anti-bullying, University Utara Malaysia take the step to have the honor of organizing this issue, jointly host a one-day seminar on cyber bullying.


2.0 BACKGROUND


Cyber bullying is a form of bullying that is on the increase, as new technologies (mobile phones, camera phones, internet facilities) both become more sophisticated and spread to a wider proportion of the population, including many children and young people. Whether bullying in general is more prevalent is debatable, but it is almost certainly the case (despite a lack of proper longitudinal statistics) that cyber bullying is increasing. For example, ‘happy-slapping’ or bullying by disseminating pictures via mobile phone, could not exist until mobile phones had this facility.

Several surveys of cyber bullying, by NCH and others (including a recent small-scale but in-depth survey for the Anti-bullying Alliance) show that currently cyber bullying affects a small percentage of pupils (c.2-5%) regularly, and up to 25% on an occasional basis. Some of this cyber bullying is in school, but quite a lot is outside school. As with other forms of bullying, adults are often not told. Some forms of cyber bullying, such as those using mobile phones, are thought (by pupils) to be more distressing than the more usual forms (physical, verbal, social exclusion, telling rumors), although some (e.g. email and chat room bullying) are thought to be less distressing.
