PETALING JAYA: The lack of online etiquette among adults and adolescents has contributed to cyberbullying, say experts.
With almost everyone having a smartphone with Internet access now, they said the physical and verbal bullying that occurred years ago has now shifted online.
“So parents must make sure when they tell their children what they should not do, they do not do it,” she said in an interview.“They do not consider it bullying – to them, it is fun or just teasing or ridiculing. But the impact can be devastating. Assoc Prof Dr Anasuya Jegathevi Jegathesan, University of Cyberjaya’s Dean of the Faculty of Psychology and Social Sciences, said using a mobile device to pacify children was not teaching them to behave responsibly in social situations.She said technological growth and the Internet had allowed bullying to “follow children home”.Dr Anasuya also said many bullies don’t realise that the things they post online rarely disappear.
“Perhaps the teachers are not familiar with cyberbullying, but there are many institutions and support groups that are willing to help,” she added.
