The Bystander Effect, where people refuse to get involved in situations of obvious wrong and someone else's need for help, is still relevant in the Digital Age.
The internet gives us a window on the world, making it easier to witness the triumphs and struggles of others, but it also makes it easier to remain silent and indifferent in the face of pain and trauma.
This discussion applies to cyberbullying, where bystanders may choose not to intervene or even join in, thereby empowering the cyberbully and encouraging their harmful behavior.
To avoid being a bystander and to make a positive difference, it is important to intervene safely to support the person being targeted and let the cyberbully know that such behavior is unacceptable.
