Sexting Is Dangerous

The most important reason parents should monitor their kids software is because children can be cyber bullied . Coben also talked about the girl who was cyber bullied to the point where she committed suicide. Is my child being cyber bullied? As a parent this is a question you should ask yourself. Many parents realize there's something wrong with their child when it's too late. Maybe monitoring and checking up on your child can help prevent these dangers.

Parents watch their children before they get themselves in trouble. On the other hand, children don’t deserve to be watched and questioned after every interaction on the internet. The uses of the internet for teens involve following celebrities or people they look up to. They mostly follow people they know. If not, they follow people who have the same interests as them.

Many teens are in real danger every day while using the internet and parents don't even know it. Jimmy a 14 year old, who talks to Bubbles the Clown on online chats does not know that he is actually a 55 year old man. Bubbles says “lets meet up” and Jimmy thinks it's safe, but Bubbles ends up kidnapping Jimmy. In Harlan Coben's article, “The Undercover Parent,” he informatively explains that computer spyware is a good idea to help protect teens from the dangers of the internet. The computer software allows parents to see everything their child does on the internet. Coben agrees that it is not right to use it to be nosy in a teen’s life. But Parents are there to be a “safety net” and nothing more. I agree with Coben; Parents should consider

According to an article called “Ryan: The Argument for Spying on Kids”, the FBI has seen an increase in what they call “sextortion” cases in which the child is convinced to send more explicit pictures of themselves by the fact that the perpetrator threatens to send the pictures to their friends and family if they don't keep sending more pictures through the Internet (“Spying”). In the article it also said, “The truth is, in a world world where the Internet is as dangerous as it is today, a child shouldn’t have to handle that stuff. By appropriately monitoring and blocking things that could pose a threat, you can ensure that your child never has to do so, before they are old enough and emotionally prepared enough to handle the darker things that life can throw at them.” According to School Crime Supplement (National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice Statistics), indicates that in 2010-2011 9% of students in grade 6-12 experienced cyber bullying (“Crime”) and according to 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey, it finds that 15% of high school students (grades 9-12) were electronically bullied in the past year (“Surveillance”). The web page stopbullying, states that social media sites can be used for positive activities, but these tools can also be used to hurt other

Cyberbullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages in an threatening nature or tearing down an individuals character based on religion, gender, ethnicity, or disability. In terms of effects overall, cyberbullying has increased the use of communication via technology and has become more common among teenagers (Cabral 3). Technology has made it easy for bullies to find individuals via social media in the privacy of their on own homes., which has allowed them to express how they feel anonomously. This has become an issue that is occurring more and more in High Schools and Middle Schools across America. One of the biggest discussions when dealing with bullying and cyber-bullying would be how do we stop this epidemic to save the soul of our youth? Education is key, we have to educate one another on the effects of bullying to know that this is real and affects so many people to this day. Much of cyberbullying is the

Many children are reporting the problem of bullying to their parents and it is making an effect on many other bullies and many states have anti-bullying laws in the US so that makes a huge impact on bullying. In “ More cyberbullying victims seeking help from their parents, poll shows” written by the Associated press , the articles shows many strategies to prevent and stop bullying. The article states that, “ It wasn’t until Sarah’s mom saw the messages that the girls told her everything.” Many children are telling their parents that they are being harassed or being bullied electronically. When parents step in to stop bullying it makes an effect on bullying because then the parents go talk to a Teacher or the Principal, then that bullied is

Millions of children use the internet almost daily. Cybercrime is a multibillion dollar industry. Around half of teens have been cyber bullied and well over half don't tell a parent when it does occur. Parents should use parental control because their are predators on social media. Also identity theft is very plausible and it will help with time management.

According to Cyberbullying hurts: Respect for rights in the digital age, authors point that "anti-bullying programs must be "a part of a child's education throughout" and that what works "is integrating and modeling respectful behavior and on and offline social communication in every aspect of school life and the school curriculum. (Shaheen Shariff, cited in Mobina S. B. Jaffer, Patrick Brazeau, 2012)." The school needs to start some program to tell students the results of all kinds of bullying not only cyberbullying, such as anti-bullying programs. Secondly, cyber bullying is based on the Internet and social media. So is necessary to teach students how to use the Internet in a correctly way. Students need to know they have to do the right things all the time, whether online or not online (Justin Patchin, cited in Mobina S. B. Jaffer, Patrick Brazeau, 2012). The last part is the family should take the responsibility. Parents should have a closer relationship with their children; especially start at a young age. According to Australian Government's report, have a closer relationship with children and pay attention to their emotion changing is one of the most effective ways to prevent cyber-bullying. Especially when the children are 9-10 years old, they are more likely to share their information and express the desire to parents (ACMA, 2007). Build trust at the early time is necessary because it

Some people came to our school and talk about sexting. the people who can help you are the police or adults can help you, but remember don't ask some for one or don't send one.

Bullying has been happening for generation after generation. Today’s society made possible to bully people without being face to face. This type of bullying is called cyber-bullying. Teenagers uses theirs electronics advices as weapons to attack other people with hurtful things though the use of text messaging or social networking websites. Cyber-bullying can “damage a person emotionally” (Media). It can also make them have low self-esteem. In our society today, cyber-bullying is a new type of problem that many teenagers have to face.

Cyberbullying includes insulting comments, gossip, pictures, videos, and embarrassing information. People using the internet can either be a victim or the one bullying. The most common social media that has experienced a lot of cyberbullying is Facebook. Almost half of social media users have witnessed cyberbullying online. Victims don't report being bullied because they either feel shamed or scared. Parents should pay more attention to their children social media, talk to them about cyberbullying, and have open communication with their children. Also, parents should know that they are signs of cyberbullying such as skipping meals, headaches, depressed , talking about suicide, less sleep and loss of

There are many reasons why kids should not use Instagram. Due to the excessive explicit material, that kids at such young ages should not be exposed to. There are however some good reasons for kids to use Instagram. Instagram gives children a chance to express their creative and talented sides, while using the art of photography and picture editing, but like any good thing there is always someone out there that’s got to ruin it for everyone else. In the perfect society, you wouldn’t have to worry about your children having to be stalked or possibly harmed by people who need help with their problems relating to underage child addiction, but this world is far from perfect so there should be some kind of guide

There is no argument as to if cyber bullying is good or bad. However is social networking to blame? Or is lack of parent monitoring the problem? It’s true that adolescents are often given too much technology independence. I believe parents should fully acknowledge what websites their children are visiting and what they are posting. On the contrary, I feel there is no excuse for child or teenager to feel the urge to emotionally attack

As time goes on and technological advances are made, cyberbullying has become a common and very heavily discussed topic. Not only is this a prevalent issue in our society, but also a personal one as I have faced many difficult situations in dealing with being cyberbullied. A primary reason for discussing the importance of educating parents on cyberbullying is the effect it can have on the entire family system. Cyberbullying differs from general bullying because it is through technological means and does not stop when the child goes home. The negative effects of cyberbullying are abundant; thus, it would be beneficial for parents to receive proper education on creating awareness, advocating, and preventing cyberbullying in their adolescent’s life.

Cyberbullying is defined as deliberately attempting to upset someone; cyberbullying can happen via a number numerous ways. With all different forms of social media, whether it be Twitter, Facebook, or even, Instagram, cyberbullying can occur. Bullying effects our communities. Kids that are bullied appear likely to experience anxiety, depression, loneliness, unhappiness, and sleep deprivation. Yet, while the victim might appear passive, it stands imperative that the parent may not. When a parent takes part in his or her child’s social media, it makes it harder for his or her child to be made fun of because their parents watch over them. A parent can stand as the ultimate counselor a child needs when getting bullied.
