Bullying Awareness and Prevention


Did you know...
●1 in 10 Canadian online teens say they have experienced online bullying on social networking sites.
●More than 1/3 of Canadian teens with a profile have seen mean or inappropriate comments about someone they know.
●14% say they have seen mean or inappropriate comments about themselves on social networks.
●90% of Canadians would support a law that would make it illegal to use any electronic means to coerce, intimidate, harass or cause other substantial emotional distress.

What do we need to know about online hate?
●Harassing messages, posts and photos can be distributed quickly to a very wide audience and can be extremely difficult to delete once they've been sent or posted.
●Because cyberbullying happens online, bullies may not witness first-hand the pain they're causing
●Sharing hateful messages ('liking' a post or passing it on) becomes part of the problem NOT the solution
●When you see online hate: do not share, block & report it immediately.


You belong here. Hate doesn’t. How will YOU #chooseACTION to stop hate?
