Cyberbullying


The Health Triangle

This Is The Health Triangle


Hello! I am Nate Arnow and I am in the 6th grade. Here you will find info about Cyberbullying, so you can
use the information on this page to be a better person online.

What Is Cyberbullying?

My topic is Cyberbullying. The definition of cyberbullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person,
mostly by sending emails, texts, or chats that are intimidating or threatening. Cyberbullying is a huge problem,
as we are getting more and more technologically advanced.


How To Avoid Problems When Using Social Media

  1. To not use it
  2. To not post, text, or email when you're angry
  3. Use calming strategies before you post

    4. The main way that people get Cyberbullied is when they get anonymous emails, calls, or texts. Remember, don’t give out personal
    information online. This could lead to cyberbullying, especially if they know your contacts. Also, don’t chat with someone through a game or on social media that you
    don’t know in person. There might be a fifty-year-old woman or something behind the screen, instead of the eleven-year-old kid that they say they are.


    The Types of Technology We Use Today

    There are:

    • Phones
    • Computers
    • Smart watches
    • iPads

      • How Cyberbullying affects the Health Triangle

      Cyberbullying can affect everyone—those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying. Bullying is linked to many negative
      outcomes including impacts on mental health, substance use, and suicide. It is important to determine whether bullying—or something else—is a concern.
      Kids who are cyberbullied can experience negative physical, social, and mental health issues. Kids who are bullied are more likely to experience depression
      and anxiety, increased feelings of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep and eating patterns, and loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy. These
      issues may persist into adulthood. they could also experience health complaints. In some cases, when the bullying continues, they may have decreased academic
      achievement—GPA and standardized test scores—and school participation. They are more likely to miss, skip, or drop out of school. A very small number of bullied
      children might retaliate through extremely violent measures. In 12 of 15 school shooting cases in the 1990s, the shooters had a history of being bullied.


      We use these things every single day in our lives. Yet, we don't really give any thought
      about how they could be affecting our physical lives, our mental lives, and our social lives. I think we should give more thought to
      what we do, and do better at solving these problems. Thank you for coming to this page.
