Blog 1.Cyber-Bullying Response

Cyber Bullying Questions:


1. Just from the topic I can tell the author is against Cyber Bullying. Kids these days are getting themselves into trouble with the use of technologies, such as social media,chat rooms, and cell phone applications. Kids nowadays use Cyber Bullying methods to harass and humiliate other people.



2. The main idea of this story is to clearly pass new laws to incriminate cyber bullies. This is more serious than I even realized. Kids are committing suicide as a result of being targeted online.



3. "Sexting"  "Textual harassment"  "Cyber bullying"



 4. Cyber-bullying can inflict lasting wounds on young people. Bullying can effect academic performance,self esteem, and mental and physical health of children.



5. I think we all at some point came across a Cyber Punk online. This is also why I believe in using security preferences and the "Block" feature. If its a really serious issue document the conversations save them as well, and file a police report. There is no reason why anyone should commit suicide because of a Cyber Bully, that's insane and laws should be developed against this issue.

  1. Good job with your answers. Remember that there is a difference between topic and main idea. You did nail the main idea. I agree that it is sad that it could lead to suicide, but think how desperate someone might feel to take that action.

  2. I totally agree with you Ricky that people should pay more attention to security preferences with various social media because this keeps them hidden from the world so they are not affected by social media.

  4. I really like the points you made Ricky, especially with documenting the texts. I think it makes logical sense to do so. Unfortunately, I am not sure victims of cyberbullying would report these documents even if they had access to them because of the emotional damage cyberbullying can have on individuals. However, as awareness increases, there are greater chances of preventing this from occurring in the first place.

  5. Usually most sites have people that watches these kind of activities. I think that they should have them on all social networking sites.
