Although the issue of mobile phone bullying is one that has a sense of ignoring the “real issues” – that is to say that it’s bullying per se that should be addressed, rather than a small section of that bullying – it is difficult to defeat bullying as a whole without looking at how it is carried out. <\/p>\n
And in the case of mobile phone bullying, there are things that can be done. <\/p>\n
If it is the case that a child is being bullied by means of his or her mobile phone – threatening texts or crank calls – then it is possible to change their number and only give the new number to people who can certainly be trusted. <\/p>\n

If it is the case that messages are being spread about the victim of bullying by means of mobile phones, then there is less that can be done by the individual concerned – however, reporting it to the school authorities will mean that any such messages sent on school property can be punished within the school framework – outside of the school, it is a matter for the police. <\/p>\n
