This blog is part of the requirement for the PRO 622 - New Media Technologies For Public Relations course. This Cyber-Bully Campaign is a make-believe campaign and is used only for the purpose of this course.
The Anti-Bullying Association has identified seven types of cyberbullying, ranging from abusive text messages, emails and phone calls, to bullying in internet chatrooms, social networking sites and instant messaging:
1. Text messages − unwelcome texts that are threatening or cause discomfort.
2. Picture/video-clips via mobile phone cameras − images sent to others to make the victim feel threatened or embarrassed.
3. Mobile phone calls − silent calls or abusive messages; or stealing the victim's phone and using it to harass others, to make them believe the victim is responsible.
4. Emails − threatening or bullying emails, often sent using a pseudonym or somebody else's name.
5. Chatroom bullying − menacing or upsetting responses to children or young people when they are in web-based chatroom.
6. Instant messaging (IM) − unpleasant messages sent as children conduct real-time conversations online.
7. Bullying via websites − use of defamatory blogs (web logs), personal websites and online personal polling sites.
The Children on Bullying report also found that bullies were infecting victim's computers with viruses, destroying online gaming accounts and making malicious reports to websites which resulted in their victim being blocked from using their favourite social networking site.
