What is cyber bullying?

As we all know, cyber bullying also known as cyber harassment is bullying that happens on social media platforms or over digital devices like cellphones, computers, tablets and many more.

Cyber bullying can occur through text messages as someone can send abusive content which is considered as bullying or it can also be done through online platforms when personal information that can be harmful or false is shared in order to spoil ones image in the society.

the most common places that cyber bullying takes place are:

Social media platforms; Facebook, Instagram, twitter and Snapchat.
Through text messages like SMS.
Email

Cyber bullying can be really dangerous as it leads some people to depression and even suicide because when information that was meant to be private goes out to the public, it can make an impact on someones life.

How to deal with cyber bullying..

A person who is facing this situation can deal with it in a couple of ways, one thing you can do is not respond back because posting something worse back can lead you into trouble.

Another thing one can do in this situation is report for example the bully and the victim go to the same school or college than he can report the matter to a teacher, or if someone is threatening to give out your personal then you can report the mater to the police.

What causes cyber bullying?

Some people tend to bully another because they feel that the victim deserve it but in reality no one deserves to be bullied. Although It’s common for people to think that way as small reasons like difference in opinions can lead to one being angry as they feel a sense of superiority and ends up bullying the other online because of that.

Cyber bullying can also occur due to lack of feelings, when one is bored on social media and due to that they might start bullying or picking on people for fun and not knowing that this can affect the lives of others and reputation.

For instance, a negative online reputation can affect ones employment, college admissions etc.. and so we can see how it affects them.

Signs your child is cyber bullied..

Most of the victims of cyber bullying are teenagers in high school and so most of the time they are not willing to speak about it but a parent may know something is wrong with the actions of the child.

You may notice that something is wrong if he doesn’t use the computer anymore even though he used to enjoy it.
he doesn’t want to use the computer in a place that you can see.
he wouldn’t want to go to school or he’ll be feeling restless about the thought of going.

So parents should pay close attention to their children in order to notice these signs before it’s too late for them.

Parents can also prevent this from happening by downloading apps like Google Family Link, with this parents can monitor their children’s social activities and can also restrict them from visiting certain websites.

what can we do about this??!

What we as people can do to prevent or help people that are facing this is by asking them to report to be it to school or work, you can have a talk with them on how they are feeling and let them open up fully that way it can make them feel better, also they would that they are people they can trust and rely on.

I would like to wrap it up by saying that we can save someones life even if it’s your friend that you see everyday, by just by asking them if they are okay as we do not know what they are going through behind their smile.

INTI international university has really changed me as a person as I’m an international student and coming here i did not know what to expect at all. I have learnt a lot with the little experience that I gained during my time in INTI, it also provides students with a variety of facilities, from football pitches, basketball courts, a swimming pool, gym, library and many more… and I’ll be talking about my experience with some of the universities facilities.

Tan Sri Abdul Majid Library

The library over here is one of the most used facilities as it has an inviting atmosphere where students can study, do their assignments or just chill while waiting for their next classes to begin.

The library consists of:

air condition
fast WiFi
books of all courses are available for students to borrow from the library.

Their timings are also flexible as they change during the semester, for example; during holidays it’s closed but during final exam period it remains open 24/7 as students study during both day and night time.

How cool is this?

As we all know libraries are meant to be quiet, however in INTI they provide discussion rooms whereby students are given a room inside the library where they can study in groups or discuss about their assignments.

So basically, this is a really good idea from INTI because this way people can learn in groups without distracting those who are studying alone.. I myself have used the rooms with group mates to discuss about our assignments and I think this feature the library has is very convenient for everyone.

There’s also a part of the library that is considered an IT zone where there are computers that can access the internet and students can easily get access them if urgent research is needed.

The walls of the library have famous quotes about by well known scholars for example, there’s a quote by William Penn that says “Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.” and I think this quote is relatable as it talks knowledge and all of the students are there to gain knowledge.

Did you know that..

The library has 3 floors to accommodate the students, the environment surrounding it is magnificent as Nilai is known for being green, so students can just look outside during their short break and feel refreshed. We also have toilets just outside the library which is very convenient for the library users instead of walking a long way to reach the washrooms.

INTI library collection

This is part of the selection of books that INTI offers to their students to borrow for free and can stay with it as long as the whole semester, and the books are really help full for studying and for assignments too.
