Effects of Cyber Harassment
Low self-esteem, loneliness, distrust in others, personality changes, withdrawal, self-harm, suicide and homicide can be effects of cyber harassment.
Marta Martinez-Hasty, LCSW, Director of Project Gold at Kristi House, considers it’s important for specialists to think about different scenarios, what kids are going through and different times in their life.
She is concerned about suicide rates in teenagers, because they are much higher nowadays than before. When kids or teenagers see their private information out there, they may feel their life is over.
