Answer:
Explanation: As a student, I am aware of the existence of Cyber-bullying and the manner in which it can be carried out. I am also sensitive to the serious nature of the problem. However, I realise that I need to know more about the issue if I am to be effective in fostering a supportive learning environment in which students can grow as good digital citizens.
Cyber-bullying is similar to traditional psychological bullying in that-
There is an imbalance of power between the victim & perpetrator.
Victims draw negative attention & are isolated from their peer group.
Perpetrators are often encouraged & supported by their peer group.
The actions of the perpetrator are deliberate, repeated & relentless.
The negative attention is uninvited & unwanted by the victim.
The effects often cause depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, poorer mental & physical health and school avoidance.
