Real bullying, not words on the internet.
There is a saying that come to mind, that still applies.
"Sticks & stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me".
No one is forced to read internet "posts".
99% of those that do are still alive, they dont go killing themselves.
I dont. So there you go, we cancel each other out.  |
That saying is the most inaccurate saying ever. Bullying/harrassment can cause PTSD. anxiety, depression etc. Sexually abusive posts often leads to drug/drink abuse or mental health problems when the child becomes an adult.
The last Government took out the 'legal, but harmful' clause for adults (it still applies to children) and there are calls for it to be put back in.
Don't forget that children don't have the mental capacity to deal with all this.
