Guidelines

We are all using the Internet, mobile phones and other technologies more than ever. While such technologies bring many benefits to our lives, such as connecting with friends, entertainment, research and accessing support services, their growing use means that cyberbullying sets increased risks and dangers, particularly for young people.
Cyberbullying is a particular kind of bullying that happens online and via cell phones. Websites like Facebook, and similar social networks allow kids to send harmful, ongoing messages to other kids 24 hours a day. Some sites allow messages to be left anonymously.
Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying doesn't require physical strength or face-to-face contact and isn't limited to just a handful of witnesses at a time. Cyberbullies come in all shapes and sizes - almost anyone with an Internet connection or mobile phone can cyberbully someone else, often without having to reveal their true identity. Cyberbullies can torment their victims 24 hours a day and the bullying can follow the victim anywhere, so that no place, not even home, ever makes him/her feel safe, and with a few clicks the humiliation can be witnessed by hundreds or even thousands of people online.
