Cyberbullying is a type of bullying that occurs through digital means. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying doesn't end when our children get home . Furthermore, in many cases, the person or group engaging in bullying behavior can be anonymous, which significantly hinders the identification of the perpetrators.
Schools in our country have a protocol for addressing bullying and cyberbullying . If there are suspicions that the aggressors belong to the same school community as the victim, it is essential to involve the school . Once the protocol is activated, observations, interviews, and information gathering will be carried out to determine if there is evidence of bullying. If so, the schools will implement educational and corrective measures , also involving families, the education inspectorate, and organizations that support students with disabilities.
Furthermore, legal action can be taken against cyberbullying in our country. To do so, it is essential to present evidence (screenshots, emails, or any other type of communication) to the relevant authorities.
