I wrote about bullying a few days ago. Francey Hakes, CEO of Francey Hakes consulting, wrote an interesting article on bullying published by CNN. In her article, she said that social media like Facebook and Twitter has made bullying easier and worst. Bullies no longer have to face their intended victim; they can post pictures and tweet their vile messages.
So often parents and school officials fail to take action when bullying surfaces. I think that many of these people believe that kids can work these things out themselves. The number of suicides would indicate that they can’t always work it out. Hakes recommends that, in addition to a No Tolerance policy, schools should monitor cyberbehavior by
students. This requires special software that many schools do not have. This recommendation raises the same concerns that the public had about NSA and the CIA monitoring the public. How much monitoring of our private lives will we tolerate?
Certainly, school should provide more suicide prevention training for students and faculty and include bullying. I think the biggest responsibility is with the parents. They should be monitoring the lives and cyber activities of their kids particularly during their teens.
I do not know enough about suicide prevention, but there was a time many years ago when I thought about suicide. Those thoughts probably lasted ten minutes, but it gave me some insight as to why someone would even think of suicide. Now these were my own revelations and not verified by anything that I have read. First, I concluded that to consider suicide a person must come to believe that no one cares whether they live or die. This, of course is never true. Even a person
like the Cleveland Rapist has someone who cares about them. Second, a person must convince himself or herself that everyone would be better off if they died. Once a person reaches that second conclusion, suicide is a serious possibility.
I think that people who are victims of cyberbullying should turn that against the bullies Everything that the bullies posts or tweet is forever on record and can be reviewed by the police and school officials. It becomes evidence of their bullying.
I have said in earlier posts that I think parents are responsible for the actions of their children. When kids turn to bullying, the parents of the bullies should be held accountable for not monitoring their children’s behavior.
