How to stop Cyberbullying?
If it happened with you
If you’re being cyberbullied, here’s what you can do:
* Tell your parents or another trusted adult. Believe it or not, they can help you. You don’t have to do this alone!
* Save everything – emails, messages, posts, screenshots. Don’t delete until you have a copy. Print them out or save them on our computer or phone.
* Talk to someone at your school – a teacher, counselor, coach, or principal.
* Report harassing comments, fake profiles, or inappropriate photos.
For kids and teenagers
Know that it’s not your fault. What people call “bullying” is sometimes an argument between two people. But if someone is repeatedly cruel to you, that’s bullying and you mustn’t blame yourself. No one deserves to be treated cruelly.
Don’t respond. Sometimes a reaction is exactly what aggressors are looking for because they think it gives them power over you, and you don’t want to empower a bully. As for retaliating, getting back at a bully turns you into one – and can turn one mean act into a chain reaction. If you can, remove yourself from the situation. If you can’t, sometimes humor disarms or distracts a person from bullying.
Save the evidence. The only good news about bullying online or on phones is that it can usually be captured, saved, and shown to someone who can help. You can save that evidence in case things escalate. This is completely up to you – don’t do it if you don’t feel totally comfortable doing it, because you need to make your position completely clear that you will not stand for this treatment any more. You may need to practice beforehand with someone you trust, like a parent or good friend.
Ask for help from others – especially if the behavior’s really getting to you. You deserve backup. See if there’s someone who can listen, help you process what’s going on and work through it – a friend, relative or maybe an adult you trust.
Use latest tech tools. Most social media apps and services allow you to block the person. Whether the harassment’s in an app, texting, comments or tagged photos, do yourself a favor and block the person. You can also report the problem to the service. That probably won’t end it, but you don’t need the harassment in your face, and you’ll be less tempted to respond. If you’re getting threats of physical harm, you should call your local police (with a parent or guardian’s help) and consider reporting it to school authorities.
Protect your accounts. Don’t share your passwords with anyone – even your closest friends, who may not be close forever – and password-protect your phone so no one can use it to impersonate you. You’ll find advice at passwords.connectsafely.org.
If someone you know is being bullied, take action. Just standing by can empower an aggressor and does nothing to help. The best thing you can do is try to stop the bullying by taking a stand against it. If you can’t stop it, support the person being bullied. If the person’s a friend, you can listen and see how to help. Consider together whether you should report the bullying. If you’re not already friends, even a kind word can help reduce the pain. At the very least, help by not passing along a mean message and not giving positive attention to the person doing the bullying.
Laws and Sanctions
While all states have criminal laws that apply to bullying, not all have special statutes that apply to cyberbullying or bullying that takes place outside of school. Schools may take action either as required by law, or with local or school policies that allow them to discipline or take other action. Some states also have provisions to address bullying if it affects school performance. You can learn about the laws and policies in each state, including if they cover cyberbullying.

When yo
u cheat and don’t accept, only then you called as cheate
r.
Honestly, I’m big fan of MS Dhoni. I’m speaking on this topic not because it’s trending topic nowadays, it’s because i felt something is not happening right with Steve Smith.
Well, i know ball tempering is against cricket rules and it’s cheating. But the important thing is Smith accepted his mistake honestly and he also disappointed with his leadership.He punished by Cricket Australia because he disappointed them. He made so many cricket lovers upset.he also know he deserves this.
I’m defending him because he accepted his mistake honestly and took all responsibility of involving in ball tempering scandle and that’s good thing and this is what we learn from life and cricket is his life. He is regretting now because he played with his life but that doesn’t mean he will not rise up again.
He is not the first player who cheat but he is one in millions.We all are humans and we all do mistakes every day and we also learned. He caught by people and come under cameras because he had captaincy of 5 time world champion team. Nobody expects this from him because he always played genuinely and honestly.
I want to see you(Steve Smith) in 2019 world cup so please don’t be disappointed it’s not end of your career. I know you will bounce back strongly.
Well…..My main point is why BCCI banned David Warner and Steve smith from playing IPL for their teams with whom they were playing for so many years. Is Smith and Warner broke any BCCI rules???
It’s okk that ICC Cricket punished them for breaking rules and Cricket Australia too but i don’t understand why BCCI banned them. Is it because BCCI is stronest cricket community in the World? I’m really disappointed with BCCI for this decision because they don’t have any rights to punish them.
What actually student empowerment is?
“Student empowerment mean encouraging a student to do what they want not what they have to do”
Or You can say it mean “Giving a freedom to student to learn what they want not what they have to learn”.
But unfortunately, In our india we hardly find a school whose motive is to empowering students. Now the question is why that’s so?
What stop Student empowerment in india?
The main reason behind this is motive of schools/colleges / and any other teaching institutions.
In india, almost every school aim is to improve overall performance record of school in the city. And they do this by sharping memory of students so they get good marks in exam which result in increasing school performance record.
The second reason which stop Student empowerment is lacking of creative teachers in schools.
I’m also student and i have experienced that most of teachers aim is to complete syllabus and after that they take written tests again and again just to increase student memory. In schools, most of students cramp things not learn them. Teacher always ask questions but they never encourage students to ask questions.Student never get permission to do things out of the box. They were bounded by number of rules.They are punish by teachers when they commit a mistake. Just tell me how we will learn if we didn’t commit mistakes.
Well it’s enough now to talk on what stop Student empowerment…..
Now, let’s talk on ideas through which we can empower students.
Give Your Students a Voice Through Forums for Student Feedback
You may remember from your own school days how much students sometimes complain about teachers (“she gives so much written work,” “he gave me a D just because I turned it in a day late!”). Now that’s only amplified through social networking. What if you could use that to your advantage? Teacher will getting constructive feedback from the students if teach via video conferencing. Setting up a forum for students to provide constructive and timely feedback — criticism or praise — through mediums like a group Google Doc, Twitter hashtag, Edmodo site, blog, etc., helps you improve your teaching. It also helps students, emphasizing that learning is about partnership and working together.
The second way is give Students Decision-Making Power in an Area of Curriculum
This might seem like an unrealistic idea in an age of common core standards and high-stakes tests — what if students veer drastically off the required course? However, this is actually entirely possible to incorporate with existing curriculum. For instance, if you teach language arts and the goal of the unit is teaching students how to write an effective response to literature or a literary analysis essay, who says everyone has to write about the same book written by some ancient dead writer (no offense, dead writers)? Besides, if you’re already scared of writing your very first response to literature, having to decipher ancient syntax isn’t going to help. So instead, why not have students pick a book of their own choosing — a novel This student-directed curriculum idea is applicable to many other subjects. Giving students the power to choose creates a sense of ownership over the learning.
The third way is Encourage Meaningful Technology Use in the Classroom
Many teachers tell students to turn off their devices when they walk into the classroom. However, it can be incredibly empowering to do just the opposite. By having your students bring their own devices, you open up a world of new learning opportunities (like the flipped classroom model, web quests, podcasts, virtual field trips via Skype, livestreaming with classes across the world, etc.), and you reaffirm that learning can happen anytime, anywhere. When students use their devices during class time to access learning resources that they can also get at home or on the go, we see that learning doesn’t just happen within the four walls of a classroom. Plus, it literally puts learning power in our hands. I know some teachers who have expressed concerns about rolling out any kind of technology they themselves didn’t know how to use that well. However, if that’s the case, don’t be scared to let your students teach you a thing or two about technology.

India is the largest democracy in the world. India has the biggest number of people with franchise rights and the largest number of political parties, which take part in election campaign. In the 1996 national elections, almost 600 million people voted and an average of 26 candidates competed for each of the 543 territorial constituency seats.
Elections
Elections are held at different levels. The two major election levels are at national level, after which the national government is established and at state level after which the state government is established. Elections are also held for city, town and village councils.
Politics issues
• Social issues
The lack of homogeneity in the Indian population causes division between different sections of the people based on religion, region, language, caste and race. This has led to the rise of political parties with agendas catering to one or a mix of these groups. Parties in India also target people who are not in favour of other parties and use them as an asset.
• Economic Issues
Economic issues like poverty, unemployment, development are main issues that influence politics. Garibi hatao (eradicate poverty) has been a slogan of the Indian National Congress for a long time. The well known Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) encourages a free market economy. The more popular slogan in this field is Sab Ka Sath, Sab ka Vikas (Cooperation with all, progress of all). The Communist Party of India (Marxist) vehemently supports left-wing politics like land-for-all, right to work and strongly opposes neo-liberal policies such as globalisation, capitalism and privatisation.
• Law and Order
Law and order issues, such as action against organised crime are issues which do not affect the outcomes of elections. On the other hand, there is a criminal–politician nexus. Many elected legislators have criminal cases against them. In July 2008, the Washington Post reported that nearly a fourth of the 540 Indian Parliament members faced criminal charges, “including human trafficking, child prostitution immigration rackets, embezzlement, rape and even murder”.
Different shades of Politics in india
In india, politics is now corrupted and corroded. There are so many negative effects of politics on our economic value. The quality of India’s politicians, many argue, has declined drastically, as in many parts of the world. Most of them seem to be out of sync with modern day realities – expectations have fallen so ridiculously low that an iPad carrying politician is described by the media as a modern one!
Most are also seen as greedy, corrupt and disinterested in serious reform. The increasing number of politicians with criminal records and the brazen use of money to buy party tickets and bribe voters erodes India’s ailing democratic process.
