Schools these days are confronted with complex questions on whether and how to deal
with cyberbullying, an imprecise label for online activities ranging from barrage of teasing texts
to sexually harassing group sites. The extent of the phenomenon is hard to quantify, but one in
2010 study by the Cyberbullying Research Center, an organization founded by two
criminologists who defined bullying as willful and repeated harm inflicted through phones and
computers said one in five middle school students had been affected. Affronted by cyberspaces
escalation of adolescent, viciousness, many parents are looking to schools for justice, protection,
and even revenge, but many educators feel unprepared or unwilling to be prosecutors and judges.
Schools help students with cyberbullying in many ways like confronting them, telling a parent,
an adult, or someone that can help, but keeping it to yourself isnt good its good to tell someone.
We have to make sure cyberbullying is not a rite of passage, If we dont change
the culture then we are helping young people be victimized, Knowing the sites your kids visit
and their online activities, ask where theyre going, what theyre doing and who theyre doing it
with.
Cyberbullying is a horrible thing to do so before you start to cyberbully someone
for like if they weigh more than you, shorter than most people, have hearing problems, have a
disability, are gay/bisexual think about it before you do it. We are all humans and we all have
feelings so when you cyberbully someone it hurts them, it might make you feel good but it
makes him or her feel bad, when you cyberbully someone its a horrible thing to do and you
wouldnt like it if someone did it to you so dont do it to them, think before you cyberbully
someone.
