Cyber-Bullying

This video is one of the Merit Award winners in the School Digital Media Awards 2009 (Singapore). It was inspired from Project Digital Citizenship, a Cyber Wellness Project by Mr Kwan Tuck Soon.

The story and the characters in this drama are fictional.

According to experts, cyber-bullying is becoming increasingly common all over the world and it is no different in Singapore, where over 70 percent of students have access to the internet at home.

Cyber-bullying is when someone repeatedly makes fun of another person online or repeatedly picks on another person through emails or text messages, or uses online forums and postings online intended to harm, damage, humiliate or isolate another person that they dont like. The perpetuator hides behind a screen and say things that they do not normally say to the victims face.

In the recent years, there have been many reports of cyber-bullying in schools. The Education Ministry said it advises schools to build a strong cyber-wellness culture which overs cyber-bullying.
