Hiding behind anonymous handles and commenting on people’s looks, family, threatening them is not alright! Social media does not show us the full picture. May be someone is already going through a tough time, may be they are not well or even anxious. They may not be able to handle your mean comments and take drastic steps. Therefore, we need to stop cyber bullying immediately!
Also, when you bully professionals, they may not want to come back & engage online, it definitely has impact on our country’s growth & shrinks career prospects.
In extreme cases, it might lead to suicidal thoughts, isolation, mental imbalance, loss of appetite and more
What are the other impacts of Cyber bullying?
Kids who are bullied are more likely than those who aren’t to experience depression and anxiety, health complaints, and decreased academic achievement
Young people who bully others are more likely to abuse alcohol, have criminal convictions as adults, and be abusive toward future partners.
We need to therefore immediately stop cyber bullying!

Its not just enough to speak up against bullying, it’s also important that we report these cases. If we don’t take these cases to authorities, we embolden the perpetrators who might get more & more aggressive in their behavior leading to drastic outcomes. Let us all come together & stop cyber bullying!
There are several studies around the subject for India. Some of them reveal shocking statistics:

“Cyberbullying में शामिल है – किसी की जासूसी करना, पहचान चुराना, गलत पोस्ट डाल कर टैग करना, धमकी देना, अश्लील बातो के लिए उकसाना या ब्लैकमेल करना.”
अक्सर लोग एनोनिमस हैंडल्स के पीछे चुप कर अश्लील या दुःख पहुंचाने वाली बातें बहुत आसानी से कर देते हैं
आपकी टिप्पणी का क्या असर हो रहा है शायद आप वह देख न सकें परन्तु ऐसी बातों से उतनी ही गहरी मानसिक चोट पहुँचती है जैसे की किसी और दुर्घटना में घायल होने पे हो!
हमें कोई हक़ नहीं की हम किसी को उनकी भाषा, वेश भूषा, खान पान, पारिवारिक स्तिथि या कोई भी बात को ले कर ऐसे दुःख पहुचायें जिस से वो बेबस होकर शायद कोई गलत कदम भी उठा सकते है। उस वक़्त आप ही उस हादसे के लिए जिम्मेदार होंगे
साइबर बुल्ल्यिंग का सबसे बुरा प्रभाव बच्चो और युवाओं पे पड़ता है और भारत में रिसर्च में यह सामने आया है को बच्चे तो अपने परिवार को ज़्यादातर इस के बारें में बताते भी नहीं क्यूंकि वह इतना दुखी या डर जातें हैं,
हम सबको साइबर बुल्ल्यिंग के खिलाफ मिलकर आवाज़ उठानी है और इस मुहीम में हम आपके साथ हैं
जय हिन्द, जय भारत
Stay Aware, Stay Safe.
