Bullies are the real concern here.\n\nIf you\u2019re reading this and thinking, \u201cHuh, I never had a bully in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/too-cool-for-school-what-i-learned-from-being-homeschooled-in-mumbai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">school<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d guess what? It was probably you.\n\nFor the rest of us, there\u2019s some bad news \u2014\u00a0ever since we were given the gift of the internet, bullying has gotten a lot worse. If you thought atomic wedgies, sand in food, and poorly drafted \u201cyo-mama\u201d jokes were the pinnacle of bullying, think again.\n\nWhile in the pre-internet era, we had the option to run home and hide when things got too bad, kids these days find it much tougher to disengage. Much like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/rock-on-2-farhan-akhtar-shraddha-kapoor-arjun-rampal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Rampal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s presence in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/is-the-myth-of-shah-rukh-khan-all-that-is-left-of-srk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shah Rukh Khan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> film, cyberbullying has become the add-on accessory to physical bullying that no one asked for.\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Cyberbullying has become the add-on accessory to physical bullying that no one asked for.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nThe worst part about digital bullying is that it\u2019s mostly done anonymously. As studies have shown, our ability to extract perverse, petty, and often cruel pleasure from another\u2019s misfortune is pushed into overdrive when our comments are guaranteed anonymity. Apps such as Yik Yak, Whisper, and Secret have been accused of not only facilitating cyberbullying, but actually encouraging it to increase online traffic. Put all this into the hands of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/study-abroad-moving-out-new-city\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">teenagers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (who, let\u2019s face it, are idiots by design) and it\u2019s easy to see how vehemently soul crushing cyberbullying can be.\n\nA victim must endure a barrage of posts about their looks, intelligence, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/what-its-like-to-be-a-transperson-house-hunting-in-cosmopolitan-mumbai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sexual orientation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all while nursing an already bruised ego from having their head dunked in a toilet earlier that day. With studies saying <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/2014\/nov\/14\/35pc-children-teenagers-victims-cyberbullying-fears-grooming-tinder-snapchat\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one in three<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> US kids have been subjected to some form of cyberbullying, and teenage <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/notes-from-my-suicide-world-suicide-prevention-day\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">suicide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rates moving in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-news\/teen-suicide-study-increase-why-900711\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">similar trajectory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there\u2019s significant cause for worry.\n\nBut wait&#8230; It gets worse.\n\nAssume you\u2019re a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/helicopter-parents-indian-millennials-dependency\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who believes their child is being cyberbullied. You somehow gain access to the chat room and wade through pop culture references, acronyms, and slang, all of which fly well above your head. Against all odds, you identify the source of the mean comments directed at your child, only to realise that it is in fact your own child that\u2019s posting these comments about themselves.\n\nWhy, you ask, would anyone cyberbully themselves?\n\nThis was precisely the case when Natalie Natividad, a 15-year-old girl from Texas, consumed a fatal overdose of pills back in 2016. Her parents, who went to weed out the identity of the bully, discovered that Natalie had been the one posting the comments about herself. Psychologists are calling this \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/patch.com\/us\/across-america\/bullies-their-targets-same-surprising-number-cases\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital Self-Harm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d \u2014 a term that has led to a slew of theories, analyses, and super worried parents who, until now had always assumed that all it took to put a stop to these shenanigans was to have a stern word with the parents of their child\u2019s bully. According to Justin Patchin and Sameer Hinduja, co-directors of the Cyberbullying Research Center, digital <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/vice\/the-secret-society-of-self-harm-cutting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">self-harm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the \u201canonymous online posting, sending or otherwise sharing of hurtful content about oneself.\u201d\n\nInterestingly, it\u2019s not unheard of for even<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mainstream sites to tacitly promote this form of self-harm. On one of Reddit\u2019s most popular subs is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/RoastMe\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">r\/RoastMe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Here individuals put a photo of themselves up for the internet to savagely mock. And, as always, the internet is only too happy to oblige. Threads are riddled with anonymous commenters degrading the subject based on their appearance and anything else they can latch on to in one photo.\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p> Some teenagers will knowingly put themselves down because they\u2019re expecting someone else to defend them.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nBy this point, any rational individual is clearly still grappling with the \u201cwhy?\u201d of all this. Surely, there can\u2019t be so many kids doing this that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/health\/depression-middle-class-diagnosis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">psychologists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> had to go out and coin a whole phrase for it!?\n\nSeveral reasons have been identified for this behaviour, but let me take you through the three main contenders:\n\nFirst, being self-deprecating can be its own form of defence. Ask the English and they\u2019ll tell you that putting oneself down is an effective way to ensure that no one else can. It\u2019s the reason they keep declaring how rubbish their cricket team is (of course, when they sneakily win the World Cup, the whole world knows it\u2019s an act). It\u2019s tougher to make fun of someone who\u2019s already doing it to themselves.\n\nThe second is a little stranger. Some teenagers will knowingly put themselves down because they\u2019re expecting someone else to defend them. This includes \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sadfishing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sadfishing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d \u2014 which is less about finding cheap sushi, and more about getting a reaction online. By saying you\u2019re ugly, you\u2019re hoping comments flock in viciously adhering to the contrary. It\u2019s the same logic I applied in Goa, when I pretended to drown in the ocean just to see which of the girls on the beach would rescue me. Being resuscitated five minutes later by a burly gentleman giving me mouth-to-mouth was a sobering indication that I may have \u201cover-sadfished\u201d. In much the same way, kids may often find that no one has bothered to defend them, which can be highly demoralising.\n\nFinally, we arrive at attention-seeking. In much the same way that Justin Beiber\u2019s roast was less about him gleaning a deeper understanding of his own shortcomings and more about him enjoying the limelight, kids self-deprecate for the attention. Interesting to note here that boys are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psycom.net\/digital-self-harm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.3 times more likely<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than girls to engage in digital self-harm and this may have something to do with boys having fewer avenues to get attention.\n\nSo, in a nutshell, the world of bullying has only gotten worse and the parent you need to be having words with, is most probably yourself. Is there a silver lining? I\u2019m not really sure. Despite our best efforts, bullying has stood the test of time, and this new phase of self-inflicting harm is so bizarre and counter-intuitive, we\u2019re unlikely to have any real solutions soon. If anything, it all makes you long for the time that avoiding a bully was as simple as hiding under a desk.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite our best efforts, bullying has stood the test of time.
