Why is this important? We will never keep up.........
Bad- normalisation, glorification, suggestion of methods, encouragement to act, triggers, spread of information, clusters
Good- support, access to information, reduced isolation and loneliness, deliver therapy, communicate distress
Implications
• Policy makers and schools need to incorporate CB into anti-bullying programmes
• Psycho-education in schools improve responses to distressed posts and develop bystander intervention
• Digital citizenship- rapid change, Instagram • Clinicians should ask about internet use and
cyberbullying • Online peer support • Vulnerability of perpetrators, restorative practice,
exclusion • BUT REMEMBER POSITIVES
