A #thearmsbumanlagproject episode on Cyberbullying presented by Funding Care.

The week of November 15th is Anti-Bullying week in Windsor/Essex - I've partnered with the Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Association to spread a message of hope and action for high school students earlier this week.

Cyberbullying, online harassment or abuse are behaviors where a person repeatedly causes harm to others using electronic devices and technologies. The modern abundance of devices with internet access makes it easier for cyberbullies to remain anonymous and create multiple accounts with different identities, giving them the freedom to attack multiple social media users simultaneously, often without obstruction.

There are numerous means of victimization. These include making posts on social media intended to threaten or humiliate someone, publishing videos or photos that embarrass or intimidate. All this harassment leaves victims feeling isolated, scared and depressed – or contemplate suicide.

Thank you to CCH for asking me and Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Association to present and share our lived experiences earlier this week.

Thank you to Lucy, Pat and the team at BANA for continuing to change the conversation and help people feel good about being themselves.

Thank you to Sarkis and the team at Funding Care for allowing me to produce this piece for YQG. Check out www.fundingcare.ca

It’s time we rise above the negative. Together.
