Keeping Children Safe from the Bully

Safeguarding children is always a priority and Hardwicks Neighbourhood Police in conjunction with Tristar held an event at
Hardwicks Community Centre to highlight to young people who to talk to if they need help .
The event took place on 26 March 2013 and involved young people from eight different primary schools across the Borough of Stockton , representatives from many different organisations were also present , including , STASH , HYPE , SBC , The Fire Service and the Neighbourhood Enforcement Team , all working together to get the message across to young people .
HYPE project was invited along to this event to speak and work with the young people and carried out a session highlighting what bullying entailed and how to get help if you were a victim .Bullying can come in all sorts of guises and the session helped the young to identify what constitutes a bully , the different ways in which a person can be bullied and what they can do about it .
The young people worked with HYPE on 'The Tree of Truth ' in which all the young added leaves with words describing their impressions of other young people .
Some of the positive words described were Jolly , Kind and Cool with some of the negative words being Evil, Badly Behaved and Disrespectful .
The exercise gave the workers and insight into how the young viewed their peers .
The HYPE team will now look at carrying out more in-depth workshops with the young and would like to use The Tree of Truth at an event involving adults to give a more balanced view of the Young .
The overall Message of the day was that bullying , in any for ,should never be tolerated and if a young person feels they are being bullied they should talk to someone who can help .

Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is just what it sounds like - bullying through Internet applications and technologies such as instant messaging (IM), social networking sites, and cell phones. It can start easily—with a rumor, a photo, or a forwarded message—and just as easily spiral out of control. An embarrassing video posted to a social networking site by someone in Kansas tonight may be watched by someone in Japan tomorrow. Cyberbullying victims may be targeted anywhere, at any time.

Common Forms of Cyberbullying
  • Flaming and Trolling – sending or posting hostile messages intended to “inflame” the emotions of others
  • Happy-Slapping – recording someone being harassed or bullied in a way that usually involves physical abuse, then posting the video online for public viewing
  • Identity Theft/Impersonation – stealing someone’s password and/or hijacking their online accounts to send or post incriminating or humiliating pictures, videos, or information
  • Photoshopping – doctoring digital images so that the main subject is placed in a compromising or embarrassing situation
  • Physical Threats – sending messages that involve threats to a person’s physical safety
  • Rumor Spreading – spreading gossip through e-mail, text messaging, or social networking sites
Signs Your Child May Be a Victim of Cyberbullying
  • Avoids the computer, cell phone, and other technological devices or appears stressed when receiving an e-mail, instant message, or text
  • Withdraws from family and friends or acts reluctant to attend school and social events
  • Avoids conversations about computer use
  • Exhibits signs of low self-esteem including depression and/or fear
  • Has declining grades
  • Has poor eating or sleeping habits

Did You Know? About one-third of online teens (ages 12-17) have been cyberbullied. Girls are more likely to be targeted.
