Schools and Parents Partnering to Stop Cyber Bullying


In Australia there is a trend for schools to share in the responsibility of what is happening after school because of cyber bullying.  From a recent report from the Australia Institute of Family Studies, it found schools and parents need to share in the responsibility of cyber bullying to educate and support kids.  The schools realize cyber bullying occurs more often after school since kids are so involved in the internet taking such an active role in social media and are exposed to collaborative online social culture which gives them access to all types information and maintaining friendships. 

When parents find out their child is being cyber bullied, they need to inform the school and ask for help. Since cyber bullying is inclined to happen 24 hours 7 days a week, it is important for parents’ involvement to help stop and prevent cyber bullying along with the partnership of the schools. 

What do you think, will parent and school partnerships help reduce or stop cyber-bullying?
