Cyberstalking It Happens Be Aware !!!!! Also Know As Preein
In this blog I am going to talk about a sensitive topic which me an my class mates and teacher spoke
about in my seminar group which is a familiar topic in my generation as young people are top users ofsocial networking sites such as Facebook , Twitter , and even Instagram , the topic is cyberstalking.
During this lesson we was lucky to have a guest explained he detail about cyberstalking she inform us
about many scenarios which lead to shocking level of cyberstalking. I will highlight these events and give
my personal opinion on the matter and state prevention.
According to search security . tech target website its says that cyberstalking is define as a crime which
the attacker harasses a victim using electronic , communication , such as email or instant messaging
posted to Web site or a discussion group. A cyberstalker relies upon the anonymity afforded by the
Internet to allow them to stalk their victim without being detected.

What people don't realize is that cyberstalking which leads to cyberbulling or worse is become shockingly
common with teenagers like myself for example I had a female friend who met a boy online however the
guy become very obsessive and constantly kept on messaging until she change her Facebook name.
I think its time more awareness should broadcast in more education faculties like secondary schools ,
colleges and even university.
Are you aware according the newspaper guardian cyberstalking is now common than physical harassment
most of the victims surveyed were aged 20 to 39 although ages ranged 14 to 74 , with teenagers reporting
social networking sites as the environment in which they were most likely to be harassed.

An psychologist called Dr . Emma Short from Bedfordshire view on the cyberstalking was the crime was not taken seriously as it should be there is a lack of understanding of the impact of this behaviour.

They are many types of cyberstalking that I want to know about in detail its not only harassing someone thought instant messaging they is making a false profile of someone , posting as a victim and attacking others online , provoking other people like your friends to attack the victim though the Internet and even following the victim though cyberspace ,This basically describes virtual world of computers.
Its know that the impact that cyberstalking brings to its victims is really shocking the impact is actually the fear that the harasser is some where around or even living next door to you the fear is real and scary and embarrassing the fear is right as many cyberstalking case enter real life attacks etc.
when doing some research on the topic cyberstalking I came up with a personal list which if you take on aboard can try help you from be cyberstalk on cyberspace such as number 1 never release information of your home address on cyberspace , number 2 it sounds strange but try conduct a search of yourself using social networking etc. and number 3 if you fink your being cyberstalk act quicky make people aware make sure important details like bank cards are not affect and contact organisation for help who support cyberstsalking victims don't try to make yourself believe its crazy am just imaging things your not.
This video I found online is quite help I recommend you watch it its a interview done by the BBC on Dr . Emma Short views on cyberstalking.
Furthermore I learnt about a WHOA though countless times researching the topic cyberstalking WHOA is a great volunteer organization founded in the year 1997 which is fighting this cyber crime epidemic online harassment. its purpose is to educated the general public and empower its victims after there attacks .
Below is the address of this organization I do recommend you visit it.
