Website review
By P - Support & Resource Worker
With mobile phones and the use of text services
becoming ever popular with everyone, especially
teenagers, this site appears to be a great place
to get some sound advice. Stoptextbully.com is
an accessible site advising children and their
parents as well as teachers on how to deal with
text abuse and threats. In 2005, the NCH, the
children's charity, found that one in five 11
to 19 year olds had been bullied or threatened
through malicious texting.
The site looks at various types of electronic
bullying, either via mobile phones or email and
the web. Geared primarily towards children, it
advises on the steps to take to stop this happening
from the people to turn to and the importance
of keeping records of incidents. A section is
for parents, linking them through to other useful
resources on the internet. .
The site is displayed boldly and colourfully
and is very user-friendly when it comes to navigating
around the site. The advice is clear and to the
point. Conclusion: - A definite one to bookmark!
