In Großbritannien hat heute die “Anti-Bullying-Week 2009″ begonnen. Pünktlich zum Start hat beatbullying.org die aktuelle Studie “Virtual Violence: Protecting Children from Cyberbullying” veröffentlicht.
Aus der Pressemitteilung:
“Beatbullying’s research of 11-18 year-olds also found that:
- 61.2% have witnessed some form of cyberbullying
- Seven out of ten (69.3%) knew the person who was cyberbullying them
- Almost a third (31.3%) of cyberbullying incidents began offline
- Two-thirds (61%) have seen or heard of fake profiles, hate sites or happy slapping material
- One in five (20.8%) have seen hate sites or groups set up to bully someone online
- Nearly one quarter (24.5%) have been sent a video clip or image of someone being bullied
- Girls are most likely to be cyberbullied, as well as cyberbully; 23.8% of girls have received an upsetting or offensive phone call compared to 12.2% of boys”
In diesem Zusammenhang passt sehr gut der Hinweis auf das deutschsprachige Jugendportal juuuport, bei dem Scouts mit Rat zur Seite stehen, wenn man Probleme im Internet hat.
