Anti-Bullying Week (14-18 November 2011)


Anti-Bullying Week starts from today.

Bullying has been a growing social phenomenon, particularly in schools. A lot of school kids become the targets of bullying. They experience different forms of bullying such as verbal harassment, physical assault, etc., which is detrimental to the well-being and development of young people.

With increasing used of technology, cyber/online bullying has become a prevailing social problem. Examples include threatening or embarrassing someone through emailing, sending chatroom messages, setting up profiles on social media platforms to make fun of someone, etc.

As an online educational community, we are concerned about the personal development of young people who have experienced online bullying. Technology is supposed to link everyone around the world together, enhance cultural understanding and facilitate discussions. We aim to create a peaceful platform for young people to positively interact with each other.

If you see online bullying happens or you are one of the victims, report it!
