Is your child a cyber bully?

If you see the apple of your eye spending way too long on the Internet, engaging with friends through different social platforms, it’s time you pay attention. Just try to find out what your child is doing there on the Web; chances are, your child is either a perpetrator or a victim of cyberbullying.

Some of the indicators could be being clandestine about online activities, closing chat windows in presence of someone else, not being too open about personality attributes etc. Unable to use phone can put a cyberbully into some kind of an irritable behaviour.

If you think children bully to retaliate, you are wrong. Kids engage in this behaviour because it makes them feel powerful. And, that’s heady for a kid!
