2017 Entry
When we think about the negatives of social media one of the first things that come to mind is cyber bulling. We’ve seen first-hand how cyber bulling can affect victims & how it can impact on their mental health. We feel like this is a huge issue that is affecting young people worldwide & will be disastrous if not resolved.
We entered a website on mental health for the eir junior spider awards. We already had a basic knowledge of the mental health of young people & we felt like we could link this video into the work we’ve already done. Teenage suicide rates are on the rise, relating to a rise in bullying online.
Cyber bulling is a particularly nasty form of bulling as it is not face to face. This makes victims feel more isolated. We feel like the solution to this problem is creating support networks for victims & making them comfortable with reporting the harassment they get online.

Well done girls, you’ve covered a very important topic really well.
This is really great. I think the idea of connecting with friends/peers first makes a lot of sense.
I have a young child, he’s only 3 so just starting in pre-school. Still, it scares me when i hear about cyber-bullying – its something I never had to deal with it and I’m worried that I wont be able to help if it ever happens to him. So its really great to know that there are young people thinking about and finding solutions. Its a comfort to me. So… THANK YOU
Well done, this is great
