Bullying on social media sites is all too common nowadays.
The most recent tragic cases in Donegal leading to the tragic suicide of a 13 year old girl, and subsequently her sister, shows the insidious and harmful nature of such bullying.
Listening to Morning Ireland this morning on RTE Radio 1 I heard the advice being given that “doing a screen grab” was necessary to gather the evidence necessary to confront the bullies.
And it struck me that many parents and children may not actually know how to do this.
It is very simple. The video below shows you how to gather the necessary evidence by capturing screenshots of your computer screen so that you can give them to parents, teachers or Gardai.
You need 2 things only (and they are both free)
1. This button on your keyboard-the Print Screen button. It will look something like this..
PrtScn
SysRq
It is normally beside the f12 button.
2. Paint programme (preinstalled on the vast majority of computers)
Simply follow the instructions in the video and give me a shout if you have any difficulty.
