Bullying, Cyberbullying, and Parental Responsibility

Cohen-Almagor, Raphael

Authors



Abstract

This paper is concerned with the social ills of bullying and cyberbullying that might lead to suicide especially when adolescents are involved. First, I explain the two concepts. It is noted that people with monoamine oxidase-A (MAOA) have propensity to antisocial behaviour, and that they cannot relieve themselves of responsibility for their conduct. We all need to think of the consequences of our actions, and we need to ensure that Internet abusers are held accountable for their wrongdoing. It is argued that parental responsibility is paramount. Parents, and society at large, need to exhibit zero tolerance to bullying and cyberbullying. Parents need to take active steps to tackle both phenomena and, in this context, healthy communication with children and other stakeholders are keys for success. Disregard for consequences of both activity and inactivity when facing all forms of bullying is immoral.
