PUBLISHED 1 MAR, 2018,

The most up-to-date survey of the issue, commissioned by Talking Point, finds cyberbullying to be a growing problem.

SINGAPORE: Cyberbullying among the young is spreading

like a virus here, and it is being underpinned by a culture of silence and inaction. In the latest survey of the issue, three-quarters of the children and teenagers in Singapore said they had been bullied online, and almost all of the victims did not inform their parents.

slide-21
SLIDE 21

What is is stopping youths fr from telling their parents about it it?

  • Do not want parents to know about their personal life
  • nline.
  • Do not want to be seen as being “weak”
  • The belief that their parents would suggest they ignore the

cyberbullying – “brush it off” - hence their wall of silence.

  • Do not want to get into trouble by telling their parents about

it.

  • Afraid that their parents would cut access to technological

devices.
