Cyberbullying on the Costa del Sol

Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is a serious issue. We at Marbella Family Fun, like any other family, have children that are using internet, social networking websites and are starting to use mobile phones. We encourage our own children and other kids to learn how to use internet, a technology that will be essential to their future. The internet is a powerful tool that opens the world to many opportunities such as networking and fun activities. However, like any technology, it can also have a dark side if not used properly.

Cyber-bullying on the Costa del Sol

Last year, our family witnessed a few examples of the improper use of internet by students from some Marbella schools. Therefore, we decided to create this space in order to raise awareness about cyber-bullying and encourage both parents and children to share their experiences and ideas on this issue. This will, hopefully, help us all learn how to avoid cyber bullying and/or how to deal with it if we become a victim.

This page is divided into two parts:

1. The first part is a general resource area about cyber-bullying where we post general articles and special contributions from relevant resources.

2. The second part below is a forum where our readers may post their own experiences on cyber-bullying and/or comment on them. We encourage our readers to make comments and develop a positive dialogue.

Cyberbullying Forum

Are you a victim of cyberbullying or know of someone who is being bullied? Are you a cyberbully or know of someone who is? It is helpful to share your stories and experiences with others. Often times it is good to just "get it out" and in the open rather than bottle things up inside.

Your story may help others cope with their own experiences of cyberbullying and may generate a useful discussion on the topic.
