"They not only laughed at my looks, but also posted my photos on the Internet to make expression packs. Now I will be recognized by everyone as soon as I go to the canteen … …” A junior two student from Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, curled up and cried, saying that she has been bullied by the Internet for nearly a year, and her body and mind have been greatly hurt.
At first, she was bullied offline, and the books were drawn by her classmates one after another; Later, her QQ was added as a friend by her classmates, and once it passed, it ushered in all kinds of ridicule and satire.
"At that time, the sky was gloomy and there was no hope." Madadayo said that her classmates’ bullying on the Internet made her miserable. She began to suffer from anorexia and depression, and her grades plummeted. However, parents and teachers think that these are just excuses for falling grades, and they blame her more and more.
"Cyberbullying on campus is more subtle, and the impact of this indirect violence is often more easily overlooked, and the harm it can cause cannot be underestimated." Li Xue, the fifth-grade class teacher of Houjiaying Town Central Primary School in Jizhou District, Tianjin, told the reporter of Rule of Law Daily that many primary school students now have mobile phones and socialize, and some of them will spit out or belittle other students on the platform, making photos of some students into expression packs and spreading some bad remarks to their classmates.
Many interviewed experts pointed out that with the innovation of mobile Internet technology and social mode, cyber bullying has gradually become a serious social problem. Because cyber bullying is out of the sight of schools and families, it is difficult for teenagers to grasp the boundaries and boundaries, whether they are bullying others or being bullied by others, which often leads to incalculable consequences. If cyberbullying reaches a certain level, it will evolve into cyber violence, such as exposing others’ privacy, cyber intimidation, and language attacks beyond the limit. How to purify the network and prevent bullying in the virtual world has become very urgent.
Cyberbullying is very secretive.
The spread of acquaintances is harmful
The reporter found that the vast majority of campus cyberbullying originated from offline contradictions at first, and the network became a means to retaliate or threaten each other.
The experience of being bullied is like this.
At first, she was criticized by the teacher in class for wearing light makeup, which led to laughter and boos. After class, she went to the teacher’s office to hand in her homework and came back to find that the books had been smeared. Since then, she will be pointed at when she goes to the bathroom, and she will always be laughed at by her classmates when she answers questions in class. The "protagonist" who is joking between classes is also herself. Others are eyeing her breakfast money and "borrowing money" from her for breakfast from time to time.
Later, this bullying extended to cyberspace. As long as you talk in a group, the originally active atmosphere will instantly drop to freezing point; As long as she likes or comments in a classmate’s circle of friends, there will be many comments coming out cynically.
Anger curled up, only to find that it didn’t help, but it made Shi Ling more fearless. Originally cheerful, she became silent, often locked herself in the bedroom for hunger strike, and sometimes cut her arm with scissors, and her academic performance plummeted.
Being isolated is just one kind of cyberbullying. The reporter’s investigation found that more campus cyberbullying is carried out in the social circle of acquaintances, such as social groups, social spaces and circle of friends, and such cyberbullying is more harmful to the bullied.
Li Lin, a senior one student from Wuhan, Hubei Province, was attacked by her classmates some time ago. From time to time, his social account was applied by strangers to add friends. Once he passed, he sent sarcastic words to convenience. It turned out that someone in the campus group called on other students to cyber-storm it, saying, "If you have nothing to do, just spray him and satirize him directly, and I will give you a title for free later." In order to get the "title", more and more students joined the "curse war".
Yang Ming, a senior high school student from a county in Zhejiang Province, has been suffering from school bullying for more than a year. She has not returned to school for a long time for fear of being bullied.
"I don’t know the girls who are violent at all. Just because those girls heard that someone likes me, they began to come to me for violence. They have blocked me in toilets or unmanned classrooms many times, licking clothes, slapping my face, and punching and kicking private parts. " Yang Ming told reporters that she told the teacher when she was beaten for the first time, but the teacher only said that students should live in harmony and not further intensify contradictions. At present, Yang Ming lives with his grandmother, and parents working outside the home can’t help.
"If you resist, you will anger them and start with more embarrassment." Yang Ming said that when these girls bully her, they will arrange special people to take videos, and then threaten her with videos, saying that if they call the police, they will upload these videos online for all students to see.
Yang Ming said that there are quite a few bullying incidents like this in her school. Girls’ forced molestation of girls happens from time to time, and there are videos all the time. "They think this is their own achievement, and they will take pleasure in it. These videos are still a means to threaten the bullied, because they know that the bullied are afraid that the video will be transmitted to the Internet, and cyber bullying is even more terrible. They grasped this psychology and threatened cyber bullying. "
Internet exposure has become a bully’s weapon, but will it really not spread? Yang Ming said that Shi Ling practitioners generally don’t spread directly to public platforms, but they are likely to spread in their small circles. She often sees videos of others being bullied from her friends.
The reporter found that bullying among girls is relatively more serious, and for the vast majority of bullied girls, it is difficult to ask their parents and teachers for help. Over time, their psychology will be distorted, and they even think that women themselves have a tendency to be abused, or want to fight violence with violence. And those students who are violent are becoming addicted and more and more presumptuous.
Li Xue told reporters that bullying among girls is now worse and the impact is more serious. She has also seen some students posting videos of others bullying their classmates on short video platforms, causing secondary injuries to the bullied students. The bullied students often feel inferior, even self-mutilation, forming a withdrawn personality, and sometimes taking revenge on younger students, forming a vicious circle.
Cyberbullying is difficult to protect rights.
Psychological intervention is urgent.
In the "anti-school violence bar" of a post bar, many students recalled their experiences of being bullied by the internet, and some people spontaneously established some public welfare communities against school violence. The reporter recently joined one of the anti-school violence social groups, which has more than 80 students, and the group owner is Ding Yu from Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province.
Ding Yu once suffered from cyber bullying on campus, but after getting out of the haze with the help of friends and family, she tried her best to help people who had the same experience. "I usually give them some suggestions, such as telling the teacher or calling the police. Then I will analyze the reasons for being bullied with them, encourage and cure them, and let them find problems and love themselves. " Ding Yu said that she has helped more than 10 people who have suffered cyber bullying, most of whom are high school students.
"Cyberbullying’s rights protection is more complicated and usually beyond the ability of minors. When defending rights, it is necessary to have a comprehensive judgment on the whole incident, including the subsequent impact of cyberbullying and the people involved. Minors usually do not have this ability. " Wang Sixin, a professor at China Communication University, said.
Is it illegal for minors to carry out cyber bullying on campus? Tong Lihua, president of the Beijing Juvenile Law Research Association, believes that the answer is yes, but China’s laws require a higher age of criminal responsibility, so an effective system to prevent juvenile delinquency is needed to keep up. "The Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency stipulates a special education system and a special correction education system. The two systems are mainly aimed at bad behaviors that are under the age of criminal responsibility but have actually reached the level of crime. These systems should play a better role in practice. "
Tong Lihua said that if the video of offline bullying or other content that is not conducive to the bullied person is uploaded to the Internet, the bullied person has the right to request the website to block and delete it in time. Whether online or offline, we should adopt different strategies according to the degree of bullying. In case of minor campus cyber bullying, we can communicate with teachers and parents more. If it is serious, we should seek help from the public security organs in time.
Pi Yijun, a professor at China University of Political Science and Law, said that if you are unfortunate enough to suffer from cyber bullying and it has a bad influence on your psychology, you should immediately undergo psychotherapy. He suggested that social groups and volunteers who provide psychological comfort can actively participate in follow-up interviews with bullied people.
The platform strengthens the audit.
Delete relevant information in time.
The reporter found that the vast majority of campus cyberbullying is spread on social platforms. So what responsibilities should the platform bear for preventing cyber bullying on campus? How to establish a long-term governance mechanism?
Wang Sixin believes that the platform should have a complete management system, focusing on the source and real-name registration system, strengthening technical review and manual review in the dynamic management of content, keeping an eye on the online developments about school bullying at any time, and taking action at any time in case of unexpected situations.
"To do a good job in the corresponding complaint mechanism, the complaint mechanism for such problems must be smooth and effective, respond in time, and deal with it in time to prevent the spread from further expanding." Wang Sixin said that at the same time, a blacklist should be established to limit the rights of people who repeatedly participate in school bullying. The platform should also actively carry out positive energy ecological construction, such as prompting bad content, doing some tracking and judgment through data modeling and AI recognition, and intervening in advance, predicting in advance and taking measures in advance.
"The fundamental solution is to improve the public’s information literacy, so that everyone has stronger discrimination and stronger information recognition and processing capabilities, and it is possible to reduce cyber bullying as a whole." Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the China Academy of Educational Sciences, said.
Tong Lihua said that after the revision of the Law on the Protection of Minors, the Ministry of Education issued the Regulations on the Protection of Minors’ Schools, which should be seriously implemented by the administrative departments of primary education and primary and secondary schools. From the school’s point of view, there should be a system to prevent and control students’ bullying, including an early detection system and a timely treatment system, as well as an organization to prevent and control students’ bullying, with the principal as the first responsible person.
"The key to preventing cyber bullying on campus lies in having professional people. At present, many primary and secondary schools actually don’t have teachers to really study and understand this problem. When bullying is minor, they should intervene effectively, instead of paying attention to it when it causes serious consequences and reaches the level of crime. In some cases, because a simple problem has not been dealt with for a long time, the bullied person has mental problems, and even the students who bully have psychological problems. Therefore, from the perspective of the school, more professional people should be trained to deal with similar problems. The Ministry of Education has proposed that qualified schools should set up child protection commissioners. In fact, every school has conditions, because schools have teachers who handle students’ work, such as the Moral Education Department or the Education Department, and they should be developed into student protection commissioners. These teachers who handle student work must have the awareness of protecting students and have professional knowledge. " Tong Lihua said that grass-roots education administrative departments can also hire professional social organizations to assist in related work through the government’s purchase of services.
