'Cyberbullying'

What is Cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is when a child up to a teenager is harrassed, threatened, embarrassed/humiliated or tormented by another child/ren

Why do you think people cyperbully?
It may be that the 'bully' is not very confident or very unhappy in their own life or that they may just want to 'impress' their friends

What should the target do?
The target should report it to their parents, who will takethe appropriate measures to deal with it
What should the school or college do?
The school/college should inform all pupils of the consequences that may occur from cyberbullying.

What should the Government do? The Government should place tougher new laws regarding ISP's placing tougher monitoring etc on their websites

New laws have just been passed to deal with cyberbullies. Do they go far enough?
I don't feel that they go far enough as they need to pass tougher laws for that the ISP's need to follow along with some other strategy's
