Today in the
age of information, cellphones and tablets are being used not only as an
instrument for making call, but also as cameras, accountants, organizers, and
computers, etc. The question is, what are the dangers of using this technology
by children, and how it threatens their mental health? Although many studies on
cyber harassments focus on the youth—which has become a growing concern for
parents, teachers, and government officials due to their outcomes—schools need
to seriously address this issue as well. In the same vein, the present research
studies the female students at elementary school who own a cellphone. The study
used interviews to address the problems of girl students of elementary schools
at Abadan city. The items of structured interview measured different types of
cyber harassment. According
to the research done in this area, a great number of those children who have
easy access to internet and cellphone were exposed to Cyber harassment or
victims to it. Therefore, as we do not let our children to wander alone in the
city, we should neither leave them by themselves in the cyber world.
