It can be very damaging to all involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is why it is important that we have open, honest and informed communication with young people about this particular type of bullying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A lot of young people suffer the effects of being bullied in the digital world. In fact, 44% of Australian young people report having a negative online experience in the last six months, this includes 15% who received threats or abuse online. {<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esafety.gov.au\/research\/digital-lives-aussie-teens\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The digital lives of Aussie teens<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, eSafety Commissioner (2021)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">}.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For every victim there is a perpetrator (or perpetrators) and, potentially, bystanders. It is challenging to accept that a child, especially our own, would contribute to causing such harm or allowing it to take place but some of them do or will. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Education is the key. The young women in our community know it is not right to bully another individual and to allow someone to dominate, control and hurt others, but somewhere along the line our young people lose connection with the core values that make up their character: young women who respect others, treat all with dignity, and take responsibility for their actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please invest some time exploring the information provided below so that you can have an open, honest and educated conversation with your daughter about bullying, in particular cyberbullying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s remind young people that every time they allow someone to disrespect us and\/or others, be it directly or indirectly, they are giving that individual <strong>power<\/strong>. Let\u2019s focus the conversation with our future on respect, dignity and responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3677 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-03-at-12.34.09-pm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1334\" height=\"180\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cyberbullying is when someone uses the internet to be mean to a child or young person so they feel bad or upset. It can happen on a social media site, game, app, or any other online or electronic service or platform. It can include posts, comments, texts, messages, chats, live streams, memes, images, videos and emails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are some examples of ways the internet can be used to make someone feel bad or upset:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sending hurtful messages about them<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sharing embarrassing photos or videos of them<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spreading nasty online gossip about them<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leaving them out online<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creating fake accounts in their name<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tricking them into believing you are someone else<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3678 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-03-at-12.37.23-pm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1382\" height=\"210\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esafety.gov.au\/parents\/skills-advice\/good-habits-start-young#i-am-worried-my-child-might-be-bullying-others\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">LINK: eSafety Commissioner<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3679 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-03-at-12.39.51-pm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1348\" height=\"216\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esafety.gov.au\/key-issues\/cyberbullying\/how-esafety-can-help\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">LINK: eSafety Commissioner<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"highlight\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em>Ms Angela Bowland, Leader of Wellbeing<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">This article on College life meets The Archbishop&#8217;s Charter for Catholic Schools &#8211; Charter #1, #2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During Community time on Wednesday\u00a015 June the following will be taking place&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2630,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-3507","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mscw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/3507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mscw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mscw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mscw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3507"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mscw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mscw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mscw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=3507"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mscw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=3507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
