Cyberbullying Awareness & Education

The internet has revolutionized communication as we know it. Unfortunately, that revolution has resulted in both positives and negatives. Somewhere along the way, the convenience of online communication reshaped how people engage with each other. And not for the better… More and more, cyberbullying is becoming a prevalent issue, not only for children and students, but adults as well.

When someone cyberbullies, trolls or otherwise insults another person on the internet, they may not think much of it. That is largely because the facelessness of online communication has somewhat desensitized people to what they are saying. People are able to say things to and/or about each other that they would never say to someone’s face in the real world. Why is that? Over the last few years, Raven Starre has taken a deep dive into the psychology behind this issue. And what she has found is that far too many people who take on the role of a cyberbully don’t even view themselves as bullies. Raven believes that this could be due to the depersonalization and disconnect prompted by the ‘connected’ world of the internet.
