<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Community Based Cyber Harassment Protection.</i></span></b></h3>
<br />
Respect Girls on Internet initiative address Harassment of teenage girls on social networks – including extreme cases of self-harm - is a growing problem in Sri Lanka due to an increase in their use among teenagers. In most cases young people are withdrawing from social life and digital society; the physical and/or psychological victimization affects their education and employment. Although national laws and procedures are in place for protection, there is a general lack of awareness, advice and resources available – in the local language - for victims to seek justice. Respec Girls project creates digital content in the local language to raise awareness about the problem, advocate for safe and respectful online discourse, promote empathy and develops a network of youth for preventing Cyber Harassment and supporting victims.<br />
<br />
One output was Cyber Privacy eHandbook for those new to the Internet, as well as for teachers and parents. A group of young people were trained to create online apps, short films, digital posters, stories, and comics to encourage peer-to-peer awareness. This online network has expanded to the real world with short film exhibitions and awareness raising exercises in schools. All content created from the project are distributed freely under Creative Commons 3.0 allowing for wider sharing, replication and adaptation across the world.<br />

Avoid Trolling Trolling is when a user anonymously abuses or intimidates others online for fun. They purposely post inflammatory statements, not as a way to bully or harass other people, but to watch the reactions.<br />
<br />
Trolls enjoy seeing people get worked up about what they post. When they are confronted on their behaviour, they often shrug it off and claim it was all in fun.<br />
<br />
Cyberbullies target someone and repeatedly attack them, while trolls set out to annoy whoever they can. Trolls want to provoke a reaction or response and it’s often not a personal attack because they don’t really care who they upset.<br />
<br />
You can protect yourself and others against trolling by:<br />
Ignore. Don't respond to nasty, immature or offensive comments <br />
Dont give attention them ... <br />
Attention give them more power.<br />
Unfollow them and ask your friends to do so<br />
Block them in groups and pages<br />
If they pop up under a different name, block them again.<br />
Report trolls to website administrators <br />
<br />
Contact the social media service. Under new legislation, social media services are now obliged to take down material believed to be of a offensive nature.<br />
<br />
Talk about it. If a troll upsets you, please talk about it with trusted friends and family and remember, it's not you, it's them.<br />
<br />
Protect your friends from trolls. If trolls are upsetting a friend, help them to seek support.<br />

<br />
Internet offers home-based work to users. They could be online add clicking, photo sorting, envelope-stuffing etc<br />
<br />
The ads could be like<br />
Be a part fastest growing internet business.<br />
Be your own boss.<br />
Earn thousands of dollars every month from your own home.<br />
<br />
The ads don’t say much about the job. They will ask you to register free or by by paying a small fee.<br />
Once you register, they will offer you a home based work pack for a fee. You wll order and receive it.<br />
And there wont be any jobs after that.<br />
<br />
Legitimate home-based work promoters give you all information in writing – exactly what’s involved in the program they’re selling. Before you commit any money payment<br />
<br />
Ask<br />
<br />
What tasks will you have to do?<br />
How will you get paid and when ?<br />
Who will pay you?<br />
When will you get your first paycheck; how much will it be?<br />
How much will you have to pay for the program registration?<br />
What will you get for the fees you have to pay?<br />
Verify all information you get from the promoter with current workers.<br />
Try to visit them in person.<br />
Find out wheather they are telling the truth.<br />
<br />
A person started a course "1000 ways to make money from internet?" where users have to buy a book on internet business.
