Cyber-bullying | 5

Buyer’s Guide |

back to school with the Carphone Warehouse Bullying is a problem for children growing up. Mobile phones and social media websites have become tools for the cyber-bully. The Carphone Warehouse and vMad.com offer an affordable and flexible solution to stopping the cyber-bully. Bully Stop is a mobile phone software which gives parents and guardians the ability to control how your child uses their mobile phone.

We’ve consulted Professor Mona O’Moore from the Trinity College Anti-bullying Centre. Mona is a recognised expert in cyber-bullying and has kindly given us hints and tips for parents.

Professor Mona O’Moore Trinity College, Dublin

What is cyber-bullying?

Cyber-bullying Cyber-bullying is when a person or group makes use of of electronic communication devices, particularly mobile phones and the internet to deliberately mobile harass, harass, intimidate or humiliate another individual.

Cyber-bullying Cyber-bullying can consist of threats, insulting, embarrassing and humiliating messages, pictures or embarrassing video video clips, defamation and impersonation. insults can be prejudice based, expressing racist, sexist,

homophobic and other forms of discrimination. in ireland almost one in five children and teens are involved in cyber-bullying either as victims or bullies or both. Over 57% of incidents originate by mobile phones, with text–messaging being the most common form of cyber-bullying both in and out of school.

top ten tips to prevent and deal with cyber-bullying.

1. i nform yourself about mobile phone and internet use and safety.

Carefully read your child’s mobile phone manual and take note of how to contact the phone’s service provider should it be necessary to make a complaint.

2. M ake sure your child or teen understands the importance of internet and mobile safety.

Do not take it for granted that your child or teen knows how to avoid the pitfalls of electronic communication.

Warn them of the dangers of putting photos of themselves on the internet or to share indiscriminately their name, address, phone number and other personal information online.

Ask them are they happy to put the same information in a shop window as they pass around amongst their peers.

3. i nform yourself about blocking devices which will help to block unwanted and abusive calls.

The vMad Bully Stop application allows your child and teenager to control who calls or sends them texts.

It also enables you and your child to view the content of any blocked text.

4. e ncourage open and nonjudgemental communication with your child and teenager Talk to your child about their online friends and activities in the same way as you would their traditional friendships and activities. Ask if they have seen abusive and hurtful texts or postings. Ask them what they do if they did. If there is anything you do not understand about their mobile phone or internet activities ask them to show you.

6. s hare evidence of cyber-bullying with the school.

Most often the boys and girls who cyber-bully also engage in traditional face to face bullying so it is important that the school gets to know about it so that they can apprehend the perpetrators. With cyber-bullying you will have the advantage of being able to show copies of the offensive messages, pictures or video clips used to humiliate or embarrass your child or teen.

5. K ey advice for your child or teenager if targeted Do not feel ashamed. The shame lies with the perpetrator

7. M ake sure your child and teenager understands that you disapprove of cyber-bullying.

It is important that children and teens learn to respect each other and therefore they should be told to avoid engaging in cyber-bullying for whatever reason that may tempt them to be abusive and hurtful to others. Should you as parent be informed of their inappropriate behaviour impress upon them that one should not do onto others what one would not like done to oneself.

It is vital also that you try to find out the reasons for their cyber-bullying behaviour. In that way you can help them overcome it.

Don’t reply to abusive or hurtful messages Save the message Report the threatening or offensive behaviour to parent or teacher and/or contact the service provider (through its Customer Care or Report Abuse facility). If the cyber-bullying is very threatening and serious contact your local Gardai Block the sender

8. Administer consequences for breaking the rules of cyber-safety.

If necessary apply ‘the yellow card, red card’ philosophy and as a corrective measure reduce their allowance for mobile phone credit or the time spent on the computer.

9. H ave your child or teen understand that cyber-bullying can lead to a criminal offence.

Any text-message or internet communication that is grossly threatening, offensive or harasses another person could be investigated by the Gardai and result in prosecution.

10. Keep up to-date with the advances in electronic communication.

Do not be afraid to show your ignorance. Remember we are all ignorant but about different things. Listen and learn from your child and teenager and together you can log onto websites to learn about the positive uses of electronic communication as well as the most effective strategies to prevent and tackle bullying and cyber-bullying.

Buyer’s Guide |

Touchscreen phones The future of phones is touch screen, millions of man hours are spent making the next generation of touch screen phones work like a dream.

“Photos and movies look much better on a large screen” The touchscreen format was once limited to smartphones and expensive multimedia focused products, not for everyone’s budget.

All mobile manufacturers are now producing touchscreen phones to fit all pockets – literally.

LG had great success with their Cookie, Samsung with the Tocco lite and now manufacturers are making the touchscreen experience even better and more affordable.

But what are the advantages of a touchscreen phone over a regular or ‘classic’ phone?

Studies have shown that touch screens, such as automatic ticket machines that you would find in a train station or a cinema are more intuitive, you see an instruction on the screen and the immediate response is to touch the screen, that response is exactly the same with mobile phones.

OS

OS

OS

Add the fact that your pictures and movies are bound to look much better on a 3.5 inch screen compared to a 2 inch screen then you start to see why they are getting so popular.

Texting and emails are made so easy on a touchscreen phone when you turn it on it’s side (landscape mode) a full qWerTY keyboard is presented on the screen and you can type away with both thumbs, much quicker than using a keypad.

This format is the future of mobile phones and at The Carphone Warehouse we have the range and the expert advice, ask in-store today.

The fact that many touchscreen phones only have 3 buttons makes it much easier for the manufacturer, there are less components to make and therefore less moving parts that can get stuck or get damaged.
