網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌：少年網(wǎng)民的煩惱

欺凌（bullying）存在已久。然而來到網(wǎng)絡(luò)時代，欺凌又“進化”到一個新階段——網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌（cyberbullying）。網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌是指人們利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)做出針對個人或群體的，惡意、重復(fù)、敵意的傷害行為，致使其他人受到傷害。對于熱衷用社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)交流溝通的青少年來說，網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌的危害性更大。如果你或你的朋友曾經(jīng)受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌，請不要害怕，更不能有傷害自己的念頭。你要記住，還有很多人和你站在同一陣線。讓我們一起對網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌say no！

“I was like， ‘How can I make this all stop？ How can I make this all go away，’” Rachel Lemmons asked herself at a 1）tipping point when high school bullying became more than she could handle.

“The only thing I could think about was killing myself and just taking my own self out of the situation. That would just be the easiest thing I could do.”

With social media， the main platform for 2）communication among young Americans， 3）taunting is no longer limited to school hours and can spread beyond the classroom. The 4）potential for 5）emotional damage to the 6）victim is huge， especially for young girls， who are more likely to experience cyberbullying than boys， according to a study recently published in School 7）Psychology 8）Quarterly.

9）Psychologist Judith Margerum said if you got bullied before the computer age， “you went home， and there was no Internet. You were home and everything was good and you were safe there.”

But now， Margerum explained，“It’s not just 10）isolated to the school anymore. It’s out. It’s in your entire life， and there’s nowhere to get away from it.”

Forty-three percent of teens have been victims of cyberbullying， according to research by the National Crime Prevention 11）Council （NCPC）. Almost 20 percent of teens have had a cyberbully pretend to be someone else in order to trick them online. And the results can be 12）unbearable for victims.

“Horrible 13）Mean Things”

Before her 14）junior year in high school， Rachel Lemmons had everything going for her—excellent grades in school， supportive family， nice friends， and a caring boyfriend. But after a breakup with her boyfriend over the summer， all that changed. Her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend started some serious cyberbullying against her.

It started with 15）prank text messages and then led to social media sites like Twitter.

“She made the Twitter 16）account under her name， but then made it seem like I was the one Tweeting things off of the account and they were really horrible mean things，”Lemmons said. Then her 17）peers began to turn against her as well.

“They were like， ‘we all know that it’s you， Rachel. You need to stop.’” Lemmons recalled being faced with threats from her classmates. “‘We’re going to 18）jump you. We’re going to beat you up.’”

These experiences are especially difficult for 19）adolescents as friends become more important， Margerum explained. “When you get into 20）adolescence， you compare yourself to your peer group and you look to your peer group to kind of see， do you fit in.”

“If your peer group starts to attack you，”Margerum says， “then you’re going to start feeling bad about yourself， and that’s going to 21）impact your mood. So there’s likely going to be 22）depression.”

Some signs of bullying include： mood change， isolating oneself， distance from friends， and lack of interest in going to school.

Lemmons， whose grades were 23）slipping， said she felt the 24）latter. But， because of social media， 25）skipping out didn’t relieve her of the trouble. In her 26）absence， her peers would tweet things like， “‘Hey， did you guys notice that the school smelled so much better today since Rachel wasn’t there？’” Lemmons said. Some of those Tweets were retweeted up to 50 times， spreading the hate to a much larger audience than the classroom.

“Dad Would Be Disappointed”

Such 27）embarrassment pushed Lemmons to have 28）suicidal thoughts. In general， youth bullied by their peers are more than twice as likely to report suicidal thoughts and more than three times more likely to report a suicide 29）attempt， according to a study in the Journal of 30）Pediatrics.

But despite having suicidal thoughts， Lemmons said the thought of hurting her family was a major 31）deterrent. “I knew that if I were to kill myself， my dad would be so disappointed in me. And I just didn’t want them to feel like that.”

For adolescents to 32）overcome the emotional pain of bullying， they must 33）regain feelings of self-worth. Margerum said bullying victims need to know that they do have power.

“Just because someone is bullying you， it doesn’t make you a different person， it doesn’t make you less worthwhile.”

隨著社交媒體成為美國青少年交流的主要平臺，同學(xué)之間的風(fēng)言風(fēng)語已經(jīng)不再局限于在校時段，而是擴散到了教室以外的地方。最近發(fā)表在《學(xué)校心理學(xué)季刊》的一項研究表明，受欺凌者可能受到巨大的情感傷害，尤其是年輕女孩，她們比男生更可能受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌。

心理學(xué)家朱迪思·瑪格倫姆說，在電腦時代以前，要是受到欺負，“你回到家里，那里并沒有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。你在家里安然無恙，十分安全。”

瑪格倫姆接著解釋道，但是現(xiàn)在，“欺凌現(xiàn)象已不再局限于學(xué)校，也出現(xiàn)在校外。它遍及你的整個生活，令你無處可逃?！?/p>
