Cyberbullying: A Victim’s Story
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/7006473.stm)
“Cruel abuse
She is an engaging and attractive girl , 17 years old, with curly brown hair who is good at judo
and teaches swimming at her local pool.
Yet she describes being the victim of the most cruel abuse from girls at her last school over
several years.
It started in the ordinary way, with taunts and shoves in the corridor. But then the bullies got
access to Julianne's web page on her social networking site.
"Cyberbullying is worse than face-to-face bullying because it's bolder," she says.
"If they are willing to put insults up where more people can see them, it means they are more
serious.
"If they say it to you in a playground, you can forget about it, but when it's posted in front of
you it's there for you to constantly see, it sinks in more and you feel more threatened."
When the bullies managed to get access to Julianne's instant messaging service, things took
on an even more frightening turn.
"When the message came up I thought it was a friend," explains Julianne.
Stab threat
"The conversation started normally and then they started saying the things they'd been
saying at school, calling me a slag and a slut and all those words.
"Then they started saying they were going to get me tomorrow and I was going to be stabbed
and my brothers and mum and dad would be hurt.“ Julianne printed the conversation and

CYBERBULLYING:
• Cyberbullying can occur 24/7 and invade
personal space
• The audience can be very large and reached
rapidly
• Anonymity of people who cyberbully
• Cyberbullying can take both between peers
and across generations
• Some cyberbullying is unintentional

What happened then

“. . . we went to the police."
The police managed to track the bullies down and used
harassment orders to keep them away from Julianne and her
family.
It turns out Julianne did exactly the right thing. The government's
guidance on cyberbullying advises victims to gather evidence to
show to their head teachers, or if it's more serious to the police.
With the right information cyberbullies can generally be tracked
down.
But it's harder to tackle those who've taken part less directly.
They may be forwarding insulting texts or humiliating videos sent
to them by the bullies. They may be gathering round a computer
screen with their mates to laugh at material posted on the web.”
