Online courses have a major effect on the psyche of students. Some psychologists point out that many parents already come to therapy with neurotic children. The psychologist Gabriela Maalouf explained to Digi24 how dangerous the phenomenon of cyberbullying is and raised the alarm about it.
There are several emotional disorders that parents must take care of, said the psychologist, who also explained the steps that adults can take to help their children.
“There are two levels in which parents can organize. First, tblur may occur in the context of overexposure to the screen. All against the background of isolation, of emotions that remain repressed, of not arguing with friends. These emotions explode at some point and the children come to the office.
Second, it is the phenomenon cyberbullying, which brings a lot of suffering to children.
If bullying was already an obvious phenomenon, cyberbullying is more obvious and more important. It may take longer, the one behind the screen does not know what is happening to the child they are offending. If you see in real life that he is upset, he may stop.
But, the virtual aggressor does not stop, does not see what happens to the other. Cyberbullying can take place anywhere, not just at school and at any time.
Cyberbullying manifests itself in all the unpleasant discussions that children have, on the platforms they enter, the effects of overlapping screens, more attacks and insults, those jokes between children that cause many to reach very deep emotional states and reach in the psychology office. The consequences can be extremely serious.
We know that bullying can have fatal consequences, we have reasons for it.
Then the children may end up facing a high degree of anxiety
Be very careful about the effects of screen exposure and cyberbullying, found in the context in which children no longer interact and are isolated. Before, if a child had an emotional problem, he talked with friends, he did not necessarily find a solution, but still he poured his emotions into a friendship.
If the parent-child relationship is not very well developed, and the child does not count what he is going through, the effects of isolation will be seen much more in children. It is more convenient for adults to say how they feel.
But children, if they do not have friends and the relationship with their parents is not good, this can lead to a high degree of depression, anxiety, emotional and behavioral disorders and even dramatic consequences“Explained Gabriela Maalouf.
What is cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying means bullying through the use of digital technologies. You can pass on social media, messaging platforms, gaming platforms and mobile phones. It is a repeated behavior in order to scare, anger or humiliate those attacked, explains UNICEF.
How it manifests:
- spreading lies or posting embarrassing photos of someone on social media;
- send annoying or threatening messages through message exchange platforms;
- copy the identity of a person and send malicious messages.
Face-to-face harassment and online harassment can occur simultaneously. But cyberbullying leaves fingerprints– records that may be useful and that can provide the necessary evidence to put an end to the assault.
