Awareness campaign
1. The Cybersmile Foundation is a cyberbullying charity committed to tackling all forms
of online bullying, abuse, and hate campaigns. It was
founded in 2010 in response to the increasing number of cyberbullying related incidents of depression, eating disorders, social isolation, self-harm and suicides devastating lives
around the world. Cybersmile provides support to victims and their
friends and families through social media interaction, email and helpline
support. They also run an annual event, Stop Cyberbullying Day, to draw attention to the issue.
2. A site named 'Stompout
Bullying' is also standing up against cyberbullying. It is the leading national
nonprofit dedicated to changing the culture for all students. It works to
reduce and prevent bullying, cyberbullying, sexting and other digital abuse,
educates against homophobia, LGBTQ discrimination, racism and hatred, and
deters violence in schools, online and in communities across the country. In
this diverse world, STOMP Out Bullying promotes civility, inclusion and
equality. It teaches effective solutions on how to respond to all forms of
bullying, as well as educating kids and teens in school and online. It provides
help for those in need and at risk of suicide, and raises awareness through
peer mentoring programs in schools, public service announcements by noted
celebrities, and social media campaigns.
Feeling good to see such campaigns going around us against cyber bullying. People have started an initiative but other people too should need to think about this and do something. These charities and sites are made but we ourself need to join them and do something for the betterment of society.
