  • Quick Facts While social networking sites can increase your circle of friends, they also can increase your exposure to people with less-than-friendly intentions. Here are some things you can do to socialize safely online: Think about how different sites work before deciding to join a site. Some sites allow only a defined community of users to access posted content; others allow anyone and everyone to view postings. Keep some control over the information you post by restricting access to your page. Keep your full name, Social Security number, address, phone number, and bank or credit card account numbers to yourself. Make sure your screen name doesn't say too much about you. Even if you think it makes you anonymous, it doesn't take a genius to combine clues to figure out who you are and where you can be found. Post only information that you are comfortable with others seeing and knowing. Consider not posting your photo. It can be altered or broadcast in ways you may not be happy about. Flirting with strangers online could have serious consequences. Some people lie about who they really are. Be wary if a new friend wants to meet you in person. If you decide to meet them, meet in a public place, during the day, with friends you trust. And tell a responsible adult where you're going. Trust your gut if you have suspicions. If you feel threatened by someone or uncomfortable because of something online, tell an adult you trust, and then report it to the police.

  • The National Crime Prevention Council's definition of cyber-bullying is "when the Internet, cell phones or other devices are used to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person."[2] StopCyberbullying.org, an expert organization dedicated to internet safety, security and privacy, defines cyberbullying as: "a situation when a child, tween or teen is repeatedly 'tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted' by another child, tween or teen using text messaging, email, instant messaging or any other type of digital technology." Other researchers use similar language to describe the phenomenon.[3][4] Cyber-bullying can be as simple as continuing to send e-mail to someone who has said they want no further contact with the sender, but it may also include threats, sexual remarks, pejorative labels (i.e., hate speech), ganging up on victims by making them the subject of ridicule in forums, and posting false statements as fact aimed at humiliation. Cyber-bullies may disclose victims' personal data (e.g. real name, address, or workplace/schools) at websites or forums or may pose as the identity of a victim for the purpose of publishing material in their name that defames or ridicules them. Some cyberbullies may also send threatening and harassing emails and instant messages to the victims, while other post rumors or gossip and instigate others to dislike and gang up on the target. Though the use of sexual remarks and threats are sometimes present in cyber-bullying, it is not the same as sexual harassment and does not necessarily involve sexual predators. [edit] Cyber-bullying vs. cyber-stalking The practice of cyberbullying is not limited to children and, while the behavior is identified by the same definition in adults, the distinction in age groups is referred to as cyberstalking or cyberharassment when perpetrated by adults toward adults. Common tactics used by cyberstalkers are to vandalize a search engine or encyclopedia, to threaten a victim's earnings, employment, reputation, or safety. A pattern of repeated such actions against a target by and between adults constitutes cyberstalking.

  • First step, if you don't have a Facebook account, get one and learn about it before you allow your teen to get one. Another suggestion, teach your kids to use common sense. Don't put your social security number, address or phone number online. Finally, don't teach your kids to be dishonest!

    The controversial between Facebook crossing the line or being "ok"! A teenage girl goes on FB after coming home past her curfew and drunk. She get grounded for 5 weeks (no friends or parties) ! She goes and makes a petition on FB (1,000 likes to get her ungrounded") Some teenagers amaze me with how stupid they can be online! Don't ya think that the page would infuriate her parents more instead of arguing her "point"?! Teens like her are the reason good parents are so strict about the internet! Quote: "Facebook is not appropriate." opinions.... they go different ways... this is major conflict!

    Online parenting is just like regular parenting! Parents need to realize that if they want their kids to respect the boundaries online, they need to find a little compromise with excepting some of their son/daughter's boundaries for themselves! Don't go writing of their Facebook wall or reading messages! Some things are sacred! You can't pull the "I pay for this, Facebook is free!" Quote: "We all want our kids' respect. That's why we've got to hold them accountable for respecting our boundaries. While we're at it, we need to respect their boundaries too. Great advice, though not always easy to follow. But like I said, parenting is an art... you've got to practice to improve. Besides, we're not looking for perfection, just progress."

    Grimes, a internet awareness specialist, has a point! Many careless teens are going on sites such as Facebook and putting things up on the site they aren't going to be able to fix when they decide they regret in! These teens are making careless mistakes that could effect how their life turns out in the future! We need to be careful about what we put on the internet! Being your child's friend on Facebook allows you to view what you need to see without breaking trust with you children! Its a win for both! Quote: "The best thing we can do is teach our kids what the pitfalls are," he explained during his Internet Awareness presentation. "What your kid posts at 15, it is going be searchable when they are 25, 35. Our kids are making mistakes for the whole world to see." "Grimes advised parents to be their child's "friend" on Facebook(NOTview through their child's page, because that would show lack of trust in your children) and see what they are posting online =. Parents should look at their child's "friend" list and find out how many are actually known and not claiming to a friend of a friend. When children are young, they are told not to talk to strangers, however with social networking the warning does not always get followed. " "Cyber Bullying is not a technology problem, it often involves friends or former friends hurting one another. He described Cyber Bullying as a small version of what terrorists do - try to alter lifestyles - in these cases those of individuals or a small group."

    Tom Grimes told parents the Internet and social networking can be wonderful tools but they must be used wisely and their children probably do not understand how to do that and it can put them at risk.

    "When 40% of kids admit that they have Facebook 'friends' that they don't know in 'real life,' there's a real risk of a predator using a game like this to build a relationship with a child that could lead to real world abuse," Charles Conway writes. This quote is from a website dicussing the safety of teens online. Many of their "friends" online ask to be in relationships with them.

  • Officials: Suicidal Teen Was Cyber-bullied
  • CBS)  Officials in Massachusetts believe there's been another deadly case of cyber-bullying in the apparent suicide of 15-year-old Phoebe Prince of South Hadley, Mass.
  • Prince moved last year to the area from Ireland. While making the transition to a new town and a new country, Prince, officials believe, became the target of intense cyber-bullying, which may have contributed to her apparent suicide.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • A friend who did not want to be identified told CBS News, "She was being bullied because she was pretty and people were just jealous."Prince's classmate also said he was one of her closest friends, but she never revealed her pain.
  • Meline Kevorkian, the author of "101 Facts About Bullying" told CBS News, "Cyber-bullying can be so dangerous because it can lead to cyber-mobbing, which means kids can come together to attack another kid, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
  • Prince's unidentified friend said, "It just makes me sad that it takes the life of a young teenager who had everything going for her to bring the community together to have them realize how bad bullying is."
  • kids should "know that they are loved and that people care about them, and they can make it through this."
  • Margaret O. on 21 Oct 11
     
    This is completely out of hand. There is no reason that this girl should be dead. Cyberbullying is, I believe the worst form of bullying, because some of the people who bully others online don't have the guts to admit it face-to-face with their victims.

  • In this digital age, bullying is no longer relegated to the schoolyard. Bullies can now attack in the place kids should feel the safest -- their homes. Instead of physically harming or verbally attacking their victims, cyberbullies use the Internet, cell phones and other technology to hurt, threaten and embarrass others. Because it is done online, the effect of cyberbullying is more far-reaching and enduring than bullying that occurs at school. Cyberbullies can victimize their targets in a variety of ways, including the following: Creating websites that make fun of or criticize another person Sending mean or threatening emails, instant messages or text messages Pretending to be someone else to trick their victim into revealing personal information Lying about their victim online Breaking into their victim's email or instant messages Posting unflattering or offensive pictures online, without permission Using websites to rate their peers In most instances, the victims of cyberbullying know their attackers. They are often classmates, friends or online acquaintances. One study showed that only 23 percent of victims were bullied by someone they didn't know.

  • Cyberbullying is a growing concern around the world. It is clear that cyberbullying has a world-wide impact, but existing laws and increased education about the issue can help countries respond to and eliminate the problem. The Internet industry works to prevent and stop cyberbullying. One common solution to help stop cyberbullying on social networking sites is the ability to report abuse.
  • Cyberbullying is a global problem but government responses vary by country. This issue cannot be solved by the criminal punishment of teens; instead, the best solution is to encourage kids to make the right choices online in the first place.
