medcom.id, Jakarta: In this digital era, bullying occurs not only in the real world but also in the virtual world.
Cyber bullying is very hard to detect. Many children prefer to hide the facts from their parents.
"There are several types of children in regards to cyber bullying: those who are open to their parents, those who hide the facts from their parents and those who stay silent even when asked by their parents," said Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IPA) member Dr. Catharine Mayung Sambo recently.
Catharine advised parents to be more observant to their children. They must be alert when their children look depressed.
Furthermore, parents should have good relationship either with their kids or with their children's friends and teachers.
"Parents should understand the internet and determine what content that can be accesed by their children," she continued.
Catharine explained there are three types of cyber bullying. The first type is direct bullying where a child is directly abused in the social media.
The second type is public attack where a child is abused by internet users. The last type is cyber bullying by proxy where a child is manipulated by someone in the internet.
