DIGGING DEEPER

THE MEDIA VS ….

“Tens of thousand of WA students were ‘suffering in silence’ because of cyberbullying …”

“In this high tech world, cyberbullying runs rampant.”

“Whether parents want to acknowledge it or not, cyberbullying is a very real problem that seems to become more common with every year.”

“The threats of cyberbullying, online predators and oversharing on social networks have made keeping an eye on kids a 24/7 operation for parents.”

“ … and alarming 70% of teens have hidden their online behaviour from their parents … “

“ Almost one in four teens claimed to be a target of cyberbullying … “
