Allem Parents

This story is about the suicide of a young boy named "Allem Halkic" from australia. Allem and Shane was close friends , as close as shane tattooed allen's name on his back . They had a mutual friend which was also shane's girlfriend. It seems that allem had told this mutual friend of disparaging comments shane had made about her. Shane found out what happens , felt betrayed and send some text messages to Allem : "I'll put you in hospital" and ''Don't be surprised if you get hit some time soon,''  and some more texe messages like this. As a result , Allem committed suicide in february 2010 and shane was called to the court consequently.

This story tells us that how horrible the result of a SMS might be. FOr sure Shane didn't know that what will happen and he also didn't mean that , but what is happened is happened. I've brought this story in to my blog to show you the importance of cyberbullying concept and tell you think again before express your hatred or threatening in a text message or an email....

Traditional bullying VS Cyber Bullying

You may ask this question that what are the differences between cyber bullying and traditional bullying? If you refer to a dictionary (or your knowledge) you will find out that bully-ing means using your strength over a weaker person to harm or intimidate. Bullying may happen in the real world or in the cyber space . Again technology ,like a to edge blade ,shows one of its disadvantages instead of its benefits. In the other word , technology create another place , which is internet , for people who want to disturb others with more facilities . On the aggregate , bullying is bullying , what is different is the platform . In the traditional bullying people use streets , offices and parks to hurt others and in the cyber bullying people use chat rooms , emails and social networks to reach their purpose.
One of the most important points about the cyber space is that people can easily create virtual identities to mask their original identities , so people have opportunity to do things under the other's names , so it is an opportunity for people to engage in cyber bullying anonymously.

People should be noticed that the cyber space is a different space with it's specific characteristics . I do believe that behaviors like bullying is an emphasis on the necessity and importance of "CYBER LAW".

What is Cyber Bullying ?

By the definition of National crime prevention council , "Cyber-bullying happens when the Internet, cell phones or other devices are used to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person"
