Beating online bullies
Bullying is a problem in probably every classroom, and more than a few workplaces. But online bullying, while increasingly common, may be easier to stop than you think.
After all, bullying can only be stopped if there's concrete proof that it's taking place. Now this can be tricky if someone's being picked on in dark alleys or behind the bike sheds. But where electronics are concerned it should be a whole lot easier.
Take abusive texting for example. The text message comes with its own
date and number stamp - so either the bully will have to use a separate
account or someone else's phone. Email is trickier but I'm willing to
suspect there are more than a few bullies out there who are dumb enough
to use their own email addresses. After all, it's not a profession that
attracts the best and the brightest.
