Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. Cyberbullying can be easy to spot-for example, if a child shows you a text, or response to a status update on Facebook that is mean, harsh, or cruel. Other acts are less obvious, like pretending to be a victim online or posting personal information, photos, or videos designed to hurt or embarrass another person. Some also report that a fake account or webpage has been created with the only intention to harass and bully.
Because many kids are reluctant to report being bullied, even to their parents, it's impossible to know just how many are affected. But recent studies about cyberbullying rates have found that about 1 in 4 teens have been the victims of cyberbullying, and about 1 in 6 admit to having cyberbullied someone. In some studies, more than half of the teens surveyed said that they've experienced abuse through social and digital media.
No longer limited to schoolyards or street corners, modern-day bullying can happen at home as well as at school - essentially 24 hours a day. As long as kids have access to a phone, computer, or other devices (including tablets), they are at risk. Severe, long-term, or frequent cyberbullying can leave both victims and bullies at greater risk for anxiety, depression, and other stress-related disorders. In some rare but highly publicized cases, some kids have turned to suicide.
Cyberbullying can be in various forms. They may include being emotionally upset during or after using the Internet or the phone; withdrawal from family members, friends, and activities; avoiding school or group gatherings; changes in mood, behavior, sleep, or appetite; wanting to stop using the computer or cellphone or avoiding discussions about computer or cellphone activities.
Parents need to be aware of cyberbullying and learn more about how to deal with it. This modern type of bullying has become part of their child's life. Staying involved in kids' cyber world, just as in their real world, can help parents protect them from its dangers.

They say, "A jack of all trades is a master of none." However, this age-old belief is no longer applicable in this new era as juggling many jobs or multiple careers become a rising trend.
A career is commonly perceived as a job we commit to for a long time or even for life. In this sense, multi-careers mean taking on more than one job at a time or sequentially pursuing different occupations that suit our abilities during different phases in life. Proponents of slash careers argue that humans are born with more than one ability, and thus pursuing a single profession or focusing on a single career means diminishing other available yet less frequently used abilities. "Should humans operate like single-task machines for a lifetime?" they wonder.
The growing ubiquity of the internet has reshaped human life, which sets the stage for multiple careers. It also paves the way for different types of work which can be coordinated through the internet, such as remote work and gig work. Some typical internet-generated jobs include tech-based drivers, freelancers, and digital content creators.
The idea of pursuing what we love and earning multiple streams of income out of it has yet to become popular among the majority of the population. Freedom often comes at the price of a more unstable working life. There is a more abundant labor supply as many people land multiple jobs simultaneously for long periods. It results in either a cheaper labor cost or a lower level of employee commitment from an employer's perspective.
In short, multiple careers are promising but will come with pains and struggles. We should avoid turning this wonderful trend into another form of self-exploitation just so we can jump on the bandwagon. Career - or careers - whatever you choose it to be, should be based on what you believe in and on what makes you fulfilled.
