Cyberbullying and Cybersafety 1: Statistics

This video I obtained from Youtube discusses the alarming statistics of how many young people are, or have been, cyberbullyed. The statistics show that now, in todays technological world, over half of the population believe that 'Online' bullying is as bad, or worse than the more traditional 'Offline' bullying.

The video goes on to discuss the two main types of cyberbullying. These two types being a direct attack from a bully to a victim and the other being by proxy, which means getting others to get involved with the bullying.

However, Cyberbullying is not the only concern for young peoples cybersafety. The video finishes off by addressing the alarming percentage of people who admit having a photo taken of them by a mobile phone which made them feel uncomfortable.
