dreamer_easy(Wow these have backed up. I'm adding relevant ones to my posting on my recent experience of the "social justice" dogpile.)
Explainer: what is Safe Schools Coalition? (The Conversation, 19 February 2016)
Bullying can have long-term damage, but can be overcome (SMH, 1 February 2015) The "what to do if you're being bullied" section of this advises not showing anger, but I have to say displaying my rage has been a very useful tool, both for my own psychology and in stopping further bullying. Perhaps this because, online, there's often no authority to whom to turn, so you're left with deterring bullies by metaphorically punching them in the balls. (In a similar environment, Neil Gaiman found a punch in the face effective.)
Cyber bullying long-term impacts include self-harm, depression and binge drinking, research finds (ABC, 19 March 2017)
Why it's so hard for women to get justice for online abuse (ABC, 1 March 2016) | Sydney labourer Zane Alchin sentenced for harassing women on Facebook (SMH, 30 June 2016). Alchin received a twelve-month good behaviour bond because, according to the magistrate "There was a vast overreaction... [which has] caused you to experience a great deal of pain which you didn't deserve."
Studies consider the styles of bullying used by girls and boys - social aggression vs physical aggression.
Bullying in Australian schools is falling, but remains 'unacceptably high' (SMH, 1 July 2016)
Parents say schools blame victims rather than punish bullies (SMH, 31 July 2016)
Cyberworld: Keeping bullying at bay (SMH, 27 October 2014). "There are some elements of cyberbullying that can make it worse than face-to-face bullying – that it is there permanently, and the fact that it reaches an enormously wide audience in a very, very quick time."
Parents and teachers don't notice bullied children (SMH, 23 July 2014) Australian Institute of Family Studies research showed that more than half of parents of bullied children either didn't know about it or didn't recognise it for what it was; and four out of five teachers didn't report it.
This posting is about emotional abuse, not bullying, but it contains relevant wisdom: "If somebody is investing time, resources, and energy into convincing you of your own worthlessness, that same somebody has revealed to you that they have a lot to lose if you don’t believe them. They’re protecting their own loss of power. Which means they perceive you as somebody who can take that power away. If somebody is putting in the work to knock you down, it’s because they’ve got something to fear about you if you’re standing up."
This article isn't about bullying either - rather, it's about the complicated issue of social media, privacy, surveillance, and behaviour.
