Shows like Big Brother, The X Factor and TOWIE, all which have made us think we all have the \u2018right\u2019 to express our negative and downright horrible thoughts and criticisms across Twitter, Facebook and not consider its implications to others.<\/strong>\r\n<h3>Pattern of behaviour<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s a pattern of behaviour that filters downwards whether we like it or not. So it\u2019s no wonder that 78% of UK children believe cyber bullying is on the rise. 40% of kids have fallen victim to it. It\u2019s just one of the many reasons why it\u2019s worth getting involved with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beatbullying.org\/bigmarch \">BeatBullying\u2019s The Big March 2012<\/a>. The Big March 2012, which is happening on the 31st January 2012. Will be the world\u2019s first global virtual protest march. The aim is to get millions of young people, celebrities, teachers and parents from all around the world to create avatars\u00a0 who will digitally march. To deliver a petition to a virtual United Nations (UN) asking that the UN make it a child&#8217;s right to live a life free from bullying.\r\n<h3>Rolemodels<\/h3>\r\nPerhaps a universal check on how we criticise others in front of our kids and on social networking sites would also help. After all, it\u2019s no good telling young people to be nice to others if we\u2019re not doing it ourselves.\r\n\r\nWhat do you think? How can we put a stop to bullying?\r\n<h3>Related article<\/h3>\r\n<blockquote data-secret=\"jsTXNnocJx\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/keep-children-safe-online\/\">Keep Your Children Safe Online<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/keep-children-safe-online\/embed\/#?secret=jsTXNnocJx\" data-secret=\"jsTXNnocJx\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Keep Your Children Safe Online&#8221; &#8212; KidStart Magazine\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">KidStart<\/a><\/strong> a little help along the way<\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These days there is so much information about how bullying and cyber bullying leads to suicide, depression and utter despair amongst kids and yet it continues.
