Curiosity and imprudence are pushing children and teenagers to be more and more adventurous without having the necessary awareness of the Internet. Just as a child would be monitored while watching the television, their online activity should also be monitored.
It is easy to stumble upon inappropriate images that are not suitable for young web-surfers and the most part of this content is of a sexual or pornographic nature. Happening upon these images does have psychological consequences, the main problem being increased levels of anxiety caused by the difficulty to process such information.
Surfing the web also means the possibility of coming across certain “philosophies” such as “pro ana” (anorexia) and “pro mia” (bulimia), false myths that have the power to transform an idea into a cult.
“Grooming” is a technique used to entice minors using new technology by way of an adult gradually introducing a child to overcome their resistance to certain psychological manipulation techniques. The “groomer” aims to gain the trust and collaboration of the victim that they have contacted online with the goal of later involving them in sexual activity, even on an “offline” basis.
The latest problem that has perverted society is “sexting”, which indicates the practice of sending and receiving texts, images and videos of a sexual nature.
Sexting makes online bullying or “cyberbullying” easier as it insinuates acts of oppression, humiliation, molesting and aggressive action towards a victim, behind the mask of electronic means such as instant messages (IM’s) and social networks.
Where young victims of cyberbullying are more susceptible to states of depression, anxiety and difficulty in concentrating, cyberbullies are even more likely to continue the risky behaviour.
