Link to us: http://snipr.com/ujlsd

In Malaysia, cyber bullying has also become an issue. UNICEF Malaysia has come up with their own programme to halt cyber bullying in schools. They believe that a good and profound education will help prevent bullying and cyber bullying from continuing. Guided by the Convention on the "Rights of a Child", UNICEF works to ensure that children and teenagers alike are able to live free of fear and violence.

A popular story that has become a highlight and an idol story for many Malaysians alike is the story about Dashenee Huthamaputiran, who is now 18 years old. She was the head prefect for Convent Sentul High school in the year 2009. She attended a programme hosted by UNICEF and HELP College in her school early 2009, which was about "Bullying". Throughout the whole programme, she managed to learn a lot and has gained more knowladge about bullying and what is categorized as bullying.

The video below is one hosted on the Metacafe website, a video hosting website, and it explains a little something concerning UNICEF's programme.



UNICEF: Preventing Bullying Through Safe Schools in Malaysia

Through the video we can see that Dashenee in fact, helped a student who was cyber bullied through a popular social networking site. She asked this student who was in her school to seek help from the teachers and counselor. This helped her prevent the bully early on, before the bully could do any great harm to the student.

UNICEF will continue to push forward their advice and their knowledge, to schools and colleges in an attempt to halt cyber bullying altogether.

Cyber bullying is not a funny matter, and should not be treated as one.

If anyone has any feedback on how and what methods should UNICEF use to handle cyber bullying, please feel free to leave a comment and we will get back to you.
