Summary:
- · Cyber bullying is bullying that takes place through the internet. The biggest difference traditional and cyber bullying is the kid who’s suffering through cyber bullying isn’t safe at home.
- · The kids who are normally cyber bullied are the ones who are bullied at school as well. People who do the bullying online are usually listed as anonymous to remain undetected. Usually the grades 6-12 are the most common for cyber bullying because all the technology that the parents are giving the kids.

Also, their grades may suffer, their self-esteem is hurt, depression can set in, they may have increased health-related issues, abuse of alcohol and/or drugs may begin, and many more negative effects can occur, depending on the child”.

Reflection
on Cyber Bullying:
- · I’m convinced that cyber bullying has become a big issue in today’s society and it needs to stop. Who knows where these kids get joy out of bullying because these kids are falling into depression and cyber bullying is one of the biggest causes of suicide. People need to step up and end this crisis if not then start decreasing the number of kids being bullied. All it takes is words of encouragement and kindness to help someone who’s experiencing this. If I was a teacher and one of my students were being bullied I would have conversations with them and try to build their confidence so in the future they don't do anything to harm themselves in the future.
I agree cyber bulling needs to stop . We learn each day how children become depress and commit suicides It just amazes me how bullying can be so much damaging to another person. I believe those who do it should be charged with a felony.
ReplyDeleteThis is a topic that simply cannot be ignored. Your video link was very good as the video emphasized the victimization of students in these classrooms. Not only do these incidents lead to suicide, but alcoholism and drug use as well. This is a passionate topic with good reason.
ReplyDeleteCyber bullying is a very serious topic and is one that needs to stop and I think that social media needs to do a better job in helping to prevent it from happening.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that cyber bullying issue in today's society. That social media is the main cause of cyber bullying and that more people need to stop it starting with social media.
