CYBER BULLYING

Bullying is now common not only in the physical but also in the virtual environment. Bullying behaviors have negative effects on everyone in the process. Answers to the questions of what to do about bullying and cyberbullying, how to do it are sought.
In this course, participants will learn about the effects of bullying and cyberbullying behaviors, and what needs to be done in the process of stopping and preventing them.

Preventing and stopping bullying involves a commitment to creating a safe environment where children can thrive, socially and academically, without being afraid. Teachers and administrators need to be aware that although bullying generally happens in areas such as the bathroom, playground, crowded hallways, and school buses as well as via cell phones and computers (where supervision is limited or absent), it must be taken seriously
