Salutations everyone! How have you been on this fine day? I hope you are doing well.
In today's entry, I would like to talk briefly about cyberbullying. If you do not know what it means, it means to bully someone through online platforms. Some of you might be confused or have some questions; I already anticipate that. I can list some of those questions for you.
"Is cyberbullying a real form of bullying?"
Yes, it is real. It is more real than you can ever realize. Did you know that according to the Cyberbullying Research Center, 30% of the teens have been cyberbullied at least once in their lives?
People, presumably uneducated ones, always assume that cyberbullying is not a form of bullying just because it does not consist of physical abuse. But what they don't know is that bullying is not stopping with just physical stuff. It includes verbal abuse and property abuse too, and cyberbullying is just the place for that.
In cyberbullying, people may give hateful and harmful comments, repetitively text someone through DMs or SMS and disturb them, and even send viruses to destroy one's digital property or steal information. Unfortunately, these actions can lead to depression and even suicide among the teens, and we must start to take urgent action to stop it or at least slow it down
" What can we do to stop the cyberbullying?"
To help you, I have prepared an infographic about this question using Canva. I believe it can be used in ELT classes as well to inform students briefly about some topics. That way, we could get their attention by using visuals and short sentences, since today's children do not like mundane texts. Also, by creating an infographic, we can learn to prepare visual learning tools and understand the topic we have better. For us future teachers, it is highly important to learn using such advances, so I thought to myself, "Why not choose cyberbullying to educate?".
You can access my infographic from the link below. Thank you for reading this entry! Remember to drink water and protect yourself.
