The world I grew up in was very different to today’s world. I would go to school expecting a day of bullying. But I also knew that it would end – that I would come home and be free of it. Lonely but not tormented.
Nowadays, bullying invades homes. On mobile phones, on social media, the four walls are no longer enough to protect children. What a world!
Fortunately, I don’t have any first-hand knowledge of cyberbullying. Not even second-hand. But someone asked me to share this graphic she helped to create, and she’s keen to receive comments and thoughts. I’m doing it because I can’t imagine how awful it would be to never be able to escape the bullies.
That graphic describes the situation in the US. This site gives advice for those in the UK.
Some of us try to make the world a better place, but new challenges keep appearing.
