Your Words Can Hurt. Choose Them Wisely

The ISPCC has launched a social media public awareness campaign to draw attention to the issue of cyberbullying, advising that ‘your words can hurt, choose them wisely’.

The week long campaign runs from 7th-13th March and highlights how cyberbullying presents new challenges for children and parents. There can be a much wider audience reached within seconds and the messages can be permanent. An additional aspect of cyberbullying is the fact that children spend so much time online; there is often no escape for victims. There is also a veil of anonymity, with victims unsure of who is targeting them.
