Broken Friendship
What are some other problems that could occur if you would share your password with others? Why is privacy such an important component of Internet safety? Do you ever feel that Internet safety is compromised by any of your friends? What punishment should there be for this type of cyberbullying? Can you protect yourself from this type of harassment?

WHAT NOW FIRST COMMENT!!! ♥☺♫
That video was really sad! It made you feel bad for the girl, and it also made you feel unsafe just being yourself.
Other problems that could occur if you give out your password is that the person you gave it to could sabotage you by trashing your MySpace or they could give it to someone else, who could give it to someone else, etc. This could be extremely detrimental to many your self esteem and your privacy.
Privacy is very important to internet safety because, sometimes if you're not careful with your private things on the internet, things can happen that can effect you harshly, or even kill you. No, I don't think that internet safety is compromised by my friends. You know, there isn't much you can do about the people who hurt you because if they're mean enough to hurt you on the internet then they normally don't have a good home life, so there really isn't a way to stop parents from raising their kids they way they want to, so we'll just have to be more careful about what information we give out. And you know, the only way to protect ourselves from this kind of harassment is to be more careful about what we say, what information we give out, and to not give out a password to anything.

woo-hoo!!2nd comment!!lol
What happens in this movie is the perfect example of what could happen when you share your password with someone. If you tell your password with a friend, and you get in a fight, it's most likely that your friend will give out your password in attempt to hurt you, and "get back" at you.
It's such an important component, because by giving out your information on the internet, you could get into serious trouble. There are alot of dangerous people on the internet, and you could possibly get hurt.
I don't really know. Um, my friends talk about being on myspace and stuff, but they never really say anything about giving out information.
I think the punishment for it should be getting expelled. I don't think it should be tolerated to any degree.
You can deffinantly protect yourself by NOT GIVING OUT YOUR PASSWORD!!!
This video is extremely heartbreaking. There are many other things that could happen when sharing your password with others. For example; If you gave your password to a friend or friends they could send mean things to random peoples’ e-mails and people could send back messages. Also if you give a password to someone they could do anything like putting your phone number, address, or other personal things and then posting them on the internet. If you share your passwords with people, why even have a password. Privacy is a major importance of Internet safety for many reasons. Some people are awfully good with computers and the internet and know how to get information off the computer and internet. This is one reason why you should be very careful about what you put on the internet. On the internet, if a non secure website asks for name, gender, age, phone number, address, and more I would not put that information. The second you push submit or enter if you do type in the personal information who knows who could see what you put down. You can usually tell whether a website is secure or not by the address bar. If the website starts with http: it’s most likely non secure, but if the website has https: the website is secure. No, I don't think that internet safety is compromised by my friends. I really don’t know what a superior punishment would be for this type of cyber bulling. Unless you have proof that someone has done this, you can do many things. Yes, I can protect myself by this type of harassment by not giving out my password to anyone or giving out personal information.

I didnt really feel bad for this girl at all because you cant trust anyone adn you know she was just trying to get in to the cool crowd!Another thing that could happen is someone could write to someone else and be saying something that you never said or they could kee giving it out!Your privacy is totally ruined when you do this because then anyone can read your personal things.You have to be careful with internet because if you dont have good friends and they find out your password bad things will happen because these days people are rude and have alot of issues.I can relate to this girl though because I have been stabbed in the back before and it makes you feel like noone cares and that noone likes you at all!The only way to protect ourselves is to not give anything personal out or passwords or anything!

I really felt bad for this girl because she thought she could trust that one person and then it started falling apart.Another thing that could happen is someone could write to someone else and be saying something that you never said or they could kee giving it out!Your privacy is totally ruined when you do this because then anyone can read your personal things.You have to be careful with internet because if you dont have good friends and they find out your password bad things will happen because these days people are rude and have alot of issues.I can relate to this girl though because I have been stabbed in the back before and it makes you feel like noone cares and that noone likes you at all!The only way to protect ourselves is to not give anything personal out or passwords or anything.

This video made me sad and mad at the same time. Sad for the girl whose trust was broken and mad at the girl, who was supposed to be her friend, for telling everyone her password. Many problems can occur when you give out your password. This video is one example of what can happen. Also, people can get a lot of personal information from your computer and they can actually steal your identity. If one person who is not trustworthy gives out your password, it is really hard to know how many people really end up knowing it. Privacy is very important to internet safety because some people have their entire lives on the computer such as their bank accounts, their personal information and pictures. A lot of people order things on the internet and that requires name, address and credit card numbers. I don't feel that my Internet safety has ever been compromised because I never give my password to anyone. I have a Myspace, and I have no personal information on it, for that very reason. Only my friends have access to it. If you can get proof exactly who has "cyberbullied" you, they should be punished by getting expelled, having to apologize to the girl, and having to tell everyone the truth about what they did. Although, once something is out there for everyone to see, you can't really take it back. You can protect youself from this type of situation by NEVER, EVER, giving your password or any personal information to anyone!

This video mad me feel horrible. I wanted to reach in to my computer and hug this girl. It was so sad!!! I can't even imagine if that girl was me. She has to feel horrible. She also has to deal with this issue for the rest of her life.
Other problems that can happen when you give out your password are things like people logging on as your name and writing mean and nasty things about others and it will appear as your name so they think it was you that said them. And if this happens chances are that they will not be your friends any more and they probably won't talk you any more even if you tell them that it wasn't you that said them.
Privacy first of all is the state of being private; seclusion or secretive. Privacy is so very important because on the Internet it is open to everyone. The Internet is actually kind of scary. It has so many wrong people on it. People like sex offenders can get in to your info. and look up where you live. It is so scary and unsafe in today’s world. So it is very important that you keep your personal information to yourself.
The punishment for this type of cyber bullying should be expellion for a month or two. This type of act falls under the zero tolerance policy and should be taken care of properly.
Absolutely, everyone including me can protect themselves from this harassment. Everyone needs to keep their personal information to themselves and DON'T give out their passwords. Even if you think that your best friend will not tell or do anything to harm you, you should think twice. The girl in this video thought the same thing when she gave out hers to her friend.
If you were to share your password with others people could send things that you normally would never say to anyone. People could tell someone they didn't even know where that person lived and you could get kidnapped. Your privacy on the internet is very important because there are bad people in the world that could find you and take you and do things to you I won't mention. I think that a person that was doing something like that should get probation, or just not allow using the computer for a very long time. I think this because a girl had a myspace and she really didn’t have many friends, than one day a group of kids that harassed her at school decided to send her a message saying stuff like we should get together and do stuff. She sent a message back and she said she wanted to and she loved him. The next day she found out that it was just that group of friends joking with her. That night that little girl killed herself. She's dead. If anyone would kill their self over cyber bulling it must have been horrible! I think I could protect myself from this kind of harassment. I would never give my password out to anyone.

I think that when you share your password it is letting everyone know your privicay.You should never let anyone know your password because they could hack into your computer and make you get virusis.You would have to make a new password or tell a fake password so that they will not know what your password would be.
Your privacyy is so important to you becuase you would never tell anyone about your self because they could be bad people and they could rape you that is why you NEVER CLICK OPEN A POPUP because it contains a virus.
I think that internet saftey for my friends they probably have antispyware so they can keep the virusis off there computer becuase if they can so that other can not hack into there folders and stuff.
Like one of my friends had to take there computer back becasue someone had badwebsites on the computer and they got ride of all of the bad sites and it cleared the computer memory.
Te punishment that sould be made for this video that there shouldbe no bad websites to begin with and nothing to have to look at on the computer but the punishment that I would give someone was to take their computer away and newver give it back to them until they know to act about their behavoir on their computer.
I cna protect myself because of the way my computer is set up my computer has netnanny so that I can not go on anybad websites and If I did my mom would get an email saying the time and date I went on to the webstite. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE OR YOU WILL BE IN BIG TROUBLE!!!

Many problems can occour when you share a password with someone. They can change all of your settings and say stuff and post stuff on the site you are on that are not true. Privacy is very important because you don't want everyone looking at all of your personal things and some thing that are private to you can be embarassing and you don't want anyone to know about it. I don't ever really think bout my friends while im on the internet but i bet that some of them have comprised the internet saftey. I think that there should be a very big punishment for cyberbullying. I think that the person that did it should never be aloud to be on the site ever again. I think that I can protect myself because I know how your not supposed to talk to strangers and I only talk to people that are my friends.

Everyone doesn't know who their real friends really are, so I don't think it is safe to give any personal imformation or passwords to your "friends". You never know what may happen in the future between you and that person. You and that person may get into an argument and they may get on with your password and mess yor stuff up on the computer. If it's myspace, someone may delete your myspace.
Other things that can happen when you give people thier passwords are it can make you feel really unsafe against things. Privacy is important on the internet because you never know what could happen to you on the computer. People can harrass and even kill you nself esteem if you let them into your world like that. No I really don't think that internet safety is compromised by my friends because they know the safety and how dangerous it is. I think that the punishment for this type of cyberbulling should be for no internet privlages what so ever anywhere. Yes you can protect yourself from this type of harassment if you just be careful and not trust anyone with anything personal of secret.

You should never give out your password. This is a way someone could get into your personal information and ruin you. Privacy is a real important part of Internet safety, if someone gets your personal information by knowing your password they could give out personal information to others. I don't feel my safety has been compromised by any of my friends atleast not that I know of. Some people are just looking for a way to hurt people though. If they are truly your friends they wouldn't even think about doing something like this. It would definitely break up a friendship. I think there should be some punishment for this.
You can protect yourself by not giving personal information out especially your password and change your passwords often.

Wow, that's depressing. Other problems could be legal issues if someone started doing something really bad with your account. Also there are some sites where you could be completely ruined as in proffesion if your friend comes along and decides oh, well I'll joke around with someon and thell them they're ugly and a jerk.People will quite often look at your site before hiring you. If I tell anyone my password then I start to feel even slightly insicure about that, i change it. I change practically every password unless it's the type that doesn't really matter because either I forgot about it or there's not much they could actually do with it. The type of punishment should be severe but at the same time, if you give out your password, in a way you're setting yourself up. Don't give out passwords.
tori mcgill
A lot of problems can occur if you share your password. They can harass people on your account, they can sabotage any type of web page, and they can embarass you like the girl on the video. Privacy is important so you have place where you can say what you feel and not have it broadcasted all over the internet. No, I do not feel this because all of my friends are responsible or at least have common sense not to share passwords. I think that the people who did this should have to apologize to the girl and tell the whole entire school what they did and then her life might be better. They should also get expelled or suspended. No one can be positively sure of how to protect themselves from this. I do all that I can. I never give out my password, I change it a lot, and I never hit the save button when it asks you your password so that you don't have to keep typing it in.
Gabby Tenney 7th
They could put bad things on the internet about you. Poeple could give out the wrong information and you could get hurt. No, I do not feel like that. The person who gives a password or anything else private to someone they think they can trust should be lectured and the person doing all of the mean/bad stuff is to get in lotss and lots of trouble. Yes, I do not have a myspace or any other kind of "cool" website. But I wouldn't give away my password either to get myself in trouble. ♥

Some promblems that could occur if you shared your password with someone are that person or people could use your name to chat online.They could start rumors about you.They could also ruin your myspace of whatever you have.I think its wrong what they did to that girl,but then again she shouldn't have given out her password! Privacy is very important on the internet because you could be kidnapped or things like people hacking onto your profile and ruining it.I think that the peoplewho do this i am not sure what kind of punishment the deserve.Yes I can protect myself.

Some problems that can occur when you share your password with others is that the person who has your password can hack into your account and change it, or make it so you can't get on the account. Privacy is important because you could get killed or raped if you reveal these things to people. No, not that I've seen..The punishment for that type of thing is being banned from the website, and if they find another account of yours, the police could help....Yes, if you don't share this type of things. Most websites tell you people that work on the site will NEVER ask for your password.

Sharing your password or other private information is definitely not a good idea. Not even with your best friend. If you need to keep a secret then the answer is not to share it with anyone. All people have a tendency to share information with others even when they know it is wrong.
By sharing your password with others you have basically lost all privacy to your e-mail account. When losing this privacy you have absolutely no idea who or what is or will be going on with your name written on the screen. Even though people may know the type of person you are, they would question you by what may be written. Just like in the blog. Even though people knew this girl was good, she was questioned and looked at differently because of a cruel trick.
In order to be as safe as you can on the internet you have to maintain your privacy of your password and other aspects of your use on the computer. Your friends, even though you believe you can trust them will be tempted to give information just as any of us could be tempted. There is just some information that does not need shared with anyone. By keeping your privacy you are hopefully protecting yourself.
Yes, I do feel that internet safety is compromised by some of my friends. I do believe that some of the people I think to be my friends share information and say things behind my back that they should keep to themselves. It can be very hurtful, just like in the blog, when you find out that someone you felt could be trusted said or printed information that is untrue.
I don’t know if there really is any punishment that would be effective for this type of cyberbullying. Maybe the greatest punishment to the person doing the bullying would be the loss of friendships and trust by others. You would like to believe that their rights could be taken away on their computers or on their internet activities. But in real life I don’t see how that would happen. That is why people still get hurt.
Protecting yourself from this bullying really involves keeping your password to yourself. You don’t need to tell anyone anything about your internet activities and you need to watch what you write and print on your myspace etc. You don’t like to admit it, but you cannot trust anyone. We all need to be aware of this, be careful and keep quiet even if we have pressure put on us to give out information. We need to just say, “ Sorry, I’m not giving out any information to anyone.” Then we should also make others aware that we will not tolerate the bullying actions. If more people did this, and some people realized that they could really lose friends and respect they would think twice before doing such terrible actions to others.

Other problems that could occur if you shared a password with others is people not only hacking, but finding things yoou said about other people. And then using it against you and starting rumors.
Privacy is such an improtant component in Internet saftey because people older than you can find where you live and kidnap you. People can harrass you and bully you as well.
No, I never felt that Internet saftey was comprimised by any of my friends.
I can't really think of punishment for cyberbullys because, like what Shannon said, they must have problems at home. And we can't tell parents how to raise their children. Also on a past blog we did that talked about cyberbullies, they are just bullying people on the internet because they are afraid to do it in person.
The way to protect yourself from cyberbullying is to just not give away any personally identifiable informaation! (ex. address, name, age...)

There are other problems that could occur if you share your password with others. One may be other people using your name and looking at adult sites. Also, if someone had your password they could say things about a friend of yours and that friend would think it was you saying the things. This would cause problems for you and your friend. She may not believe you when you say it wasn't you because it was under your name. There are probably other things that could happen that I don't even know about.
Privacy is very important when it comes to the internet. You would never want someone older reading your information and finding out where you live. That's how girls get kidnapped and even killed. On Dr. Phil today there was two girls who were mad at another girl and they wrote on myspace that they wanted to kill her and hurt her. They really didn't mean it they were just mad at her, but it caused a lot of problems because the girl read it. The two girls got probation and community service. They say they are still paying for it because everyone talked about them and it was all over school. Now their families are being sued and the parents have no money for lawyers. It is one big mess all because of something they wrote on myspace that they didn't really mean.
The only way internet safety is compromised is if you or your friends give your passwords out to others. Never give your password to anyone unless it is your parents. I know people who have given their passwords out to their friends. This will only cause problems for them. You think they won't give it out but if you get into a fight-they might. You just never know.
One type of punishment for this type of cyberbulling is to not allow the person who did this on the internet anymore. I know with myspace if you do something they don't allow, they will kick you off. Another punishment could be a fine they would have to pay.
I believe you can protect yourself by not giving out your password or any type of information about your internet access, at school or at home. Do not trust anyone. You never know when that trust will be broken. It is better to be safe then sorry. You could never live down what happened to the girl in the video. Everyone will always talk about her and think it was her in the pictures and they will think she did send them to guys. Problems like this cause young teens to be depressed and some even kill themselves because of this type of bullying.

some of the problems that could occur if you give out your password to others is that they could ruin your friendship with others by saying mean and hurtful things to your others friends or even your family members. that is what makes it so sad. i make sure that know body knows my passwords to anything, and if they do find out what it is then i go and change it. i think it is sad that people are so cruel as to go and log on to stuff under other peoples names and will go and say mean stuff and do mean stuff. there was this one time that my cousin had her friend over for the night and my cousin checked her yahoo and her friend found out her password and stuff and needless to say, her friend went and wrote really bad things to other people including her friends and family. that almost ruined my cousins friendship with all of her friends.
i feel sorry for all the mean people who have to go and do stuff as mean as that just to get people to look at her.
28th COMMENT WHAT NOW!!!!
This was just sad!!!
Well of course you just saw what one thing giving out your password can do. Other things are maybe they send to your friends and ruin friendships. Cyberbulling should be punixhed by going to juvy or aomthing cause its not fun. Dont give your password to anybody that is only sure internet saftey

Some of the problems that could occure if you would share your password with others, would effect you personal life as well as your social life. If you happend to give your password to your friends, even to your family, could to lead to unhappy relatinships. Like in the video clip, she thought she could trust her "best friend", but then ahs went around telling everybody her password. In the mist of everyone knowing her password, lead to her getting embarrassed by everyone at her school. Thats why you should keep things like your password to your self.

if you share your password with anyone it could ruin your rep. privacy is important because unknown people are on all the time.people like cyber bullies,and preditors. yes uu can protect yourself by not giving any pictures,and keeping personal information to yourself.
If you share any of your passwords with people, they will most likely use your own information against you. If you have a Myspace and you share your password with some one, they will probably try to change your information so people will read their version of you instead of the version you read for yourself. Privacy is such an important component because once you place your information into a hard drive; it can never be erased from that specific system. Those systems never have had information erased from them, so once it is on there, it stays forever. Sometimes I believe that internet safety is practiced by my friends, but other time, I think otherwise. I believe that the punishment for cyber bullying should be suspension from school, and write a formal apology to the one who has been bullied. You can protect yourself from cyber bullying by keeping any hard core deep, thoughts off of the internet.

If you give your password to someone they could give it to a whole bunch of people and they probably will end up doing something to ruin your reputation. Then, it would be hard to keep the friends you have now and make new friends also. Privacy is so important, for internet safety because if you let everyone have your password they will ruin your stuff on the internet. Yes, I feel that some of my friends don't take internet safety that serious. People should get into a lot of trouble for this bullying but I don't know what kind of punishment. Don’t give out your password and you could stop this type of harassment!!

Some problems that can occur when you share your password with others are you could get all your privacy given away, your pictures, and your information. I would never give my password to anyone but my best friend. If you dont keep your self private on the net, then you cant keep yourself private anywhere, because everyone is going to know, not only people online, but people you know personally. No, i dont think that the net is compromised by my friends at all. If you did this to someone, i think that you should get arrested or probated because it is unacceptable behavior. The only way you can protect yourself is to put nothing on the internet, not your name, pictures, number, or information.

I think the girl shouldn't have shared her password with another person; even if it was her best friend. The other girls could have sent something that hurt someone else and they would have thought that it was her because it came from her account. Privacy is so important because once something goes on the internet and is spread around, it can't be erased. My friends are all pretty good at using the internet, and I don't tell anyone my passwords. I think the girls that photoshopped the picture should have been suspended. The only way to protect yourself from this type of harassment is to not tell anyone your password.

If share you share your password with other people they could tell people your personal information like your number or address.If you dont have privacy on the internet you will not feel safe because you never know people could hack into oyur accounts. No because I dont tell anyone my password. They should make them take internet safety classes. Yes dont give your personal information on the web.

If you share your password with someone then something like this could happen or even worse. They could send illegal files over the internet causing you to go to jail. If someone even knows your first and last name they can find your phone number and address from the online phone book. No I don't feel that internet safety is compromised by my friends. I think that there really shouldn't be a punishment for this unless its done in school. Yes , by not giving out all of my passwords...

This video made me feel sad. What those people did to her was just plain out mean. I don't see how people don't feel guilty enough to just not do the things they do. This video definitely made me be more worried about internet safety.
Some problems that could occur if you share your password with others are they could give them to other people and they could give them to other. Another thing is someone could send things to people that you wouldn't want them to know or things you wouldn't even say. Someone could bully other people on the computer and you would get in trouble for it because they used your password and logged in as you. The person with your password could also mess with your layout of your page, like on myspace or some thing like that.
Privacy is such an important factor in internet safety because someone could give you a virus and mess up your computer. Also how is your computer internet safe if you don’t have your privacy? With privacy you can write about things you don’t want some people to see or do see. You can talk to people you know and not talk to people you don’t know. You can also let certain people look at your myspace or anything else like that and let other people not. This can prevent you from talking to dangerous people and people you just don’t like.
The punishment for this type of bullying is the person should never be allowed on the computer at school (and at home but I don’t know if it’s possible for someone to enforce someone to never be allowed on the computer at their own house) and they should be suspended or at least expelled for a long time. I don’t think it’s right to cyberbully because it either says you don’t have enough courage to say something to someone’s face (so you shouldn’t be typing it at all) or you must really enjoy making people feel bad and sad which is just not right.
I think that I and everyone else can protect them selves from this kind of cyberbullying. We can do this in many ways and one is by not giving out our passwords. Even though there are ways to protect yourself from cyberbullying it isn’t impossible to still get bullied.

This blog video shows that you can never tell how mean some people will be just to become popular. Some things, like passwords, are meant to keep to yourself.
By sharing your password, you are putting yourself up for many things. You could end up receiving bills for online shopping sites, like e-bay. Maybe some one will log on and talk to other people, like your best friends, and say bad things that will make them hate you. Or they might even sign you up for e-mails from adult sites. All of these are things that you do not want to happen.
Privacy is so important because like I said before, you never know what people will do! Some people might not do anything, but you can never be too sure.
No, my friends are smart enough to understand the dangers of the Internet. They know that there are freaks out there who use the internet as a way to get some young boy/girl to meet them.
I think that these people should have to apologize and explain to everyone what they did. I think that they should also have to explain it to the principal and do so many hours of community service.
Yes, you can prevent yourself from this type of cyberbullying. Not putting out personal information helps. You should also NEVER give out you password to ANYONE (parents are okay, they have a right to know what you are doing on the internet). If you think that this will be a problem with you, then you shouldn't have anything that you need a password for. Also, try making your password hard such as putting a mixture of capital and lowercase letters and numbers. MySpace passwords MUST have at least one number in it.

This video made me very sad and upset. I can't believe that her best friend would do something like that. I felt really bad for that girl.
Other problems that could occur if you shared you password with others is the people you give it to could go and delete your email account. They could send junk emails to all the people you know or they could change the password and not allow you to get into your own account. They could even tell more people and who knows what would happen if everyone knew your password.
Privacy is very important component of internet saftey because if you're not careful with your privite things on the computer it might effect you in a bad way. People would be able to make fun of you even if you didnt know what was going on. It would be very scary if someone would put something private on the internet in todays world. No, I do not feel that internet safety is compromised by any of my friends. I don't really know what kind of punishment this kind of bullying should have.
Yes, there are many way to protect yourself from this type of harassment. One way to protect yourself is to not tell anyone your password...not even your best best best friend. You never know when you might be in a fight one day and they might get an urg to use your password and make up all kind of lies about you and post them on the internet.

I kind of feel bad for her but it is sort of her fault. You shouldn't give your password to anybody. Even if they're your best friends.
If you gave out your password many horrible things could happen to you. The person you give it to could give out personal information, change the password, or just maybe delete whatever it is.
Interent privacy is very important. If someone gives out personal information it could be very harmful. Someone you don't even know could start talking to you about things you don't even know of.
I don't feel it is compromised by any of my friends. They probably have a fire-wall. All of my friends also would know how bad it is to do something like that to somebody.
I don't know what kind of punishment should be given. It should vary on what the person did.
The only way to protect yourself is to never give out your password.

A problem that the video didn't address was the possibility of stealing credit card numbers and pin numbers from bank accounts. with out privacy there is no way of protecting your self from idenity theft and online preditors. My internet saftey is not compromised by my friends, be cause my friends have never had access to any thing that would compromise my safety. Cyberbullying should be punishable by the law with penalties such as fine to prison or juvie sentences. I can protect myself by not giving out passwords or personal info.
If you shared your password with someone else they could also delete your things or write things about other people. Privacy is am important component on internet safety because anyone can hack into your passwords or your sites or anything. So you should get the software to prevent that stuff. No, I have good friends they would never do that. The punishment for this should be them not aloud to have any kind of myspace or screen names. Yes, I can prevent myself from this but the software so no one can hack into me computer.

If I were to share my password with others some people would hack into my myspace account and post some bad or inappropriate things maybe as a joke but still hurtful, I can’t think of what they’d do right now but if I could I probably won’t say anyway. Privacy is an important component of internet safety because it keeps certain things away from stockers or people you think want to hurt you in any way. No, I have never felt that internet safety has been compromised by my friends except once when my friend Matt wanted my to change something on his myspace, but the next day he changed his password so I wouldn’t know it. A punishment for cyberbullying is if you find out who has been cyberbullying you they should be expelled, have to apologize to who they cyberbullied, and admit that they did this to the school publicly. I can protect my self from this harassment by not sharing my password to anyone friend or not.

If you share your password with others they could log in as you and change everything and even make fun of someone as you. Privacy is important because if you give out info people could track you down and harm you, or kill you.I really dont pay any attention to what websites my friends get on, I only pay attention to what I get on. You should be banned from site, suspended and legal actions should be persued against you. Yes you can protect yourself by not giving out information to others
(YES 48 COMMENT, CANT BEAT THAT!)
Other problems that could occur if she told her password to other people is that those people that she told her password to would tell other people things about her that aren’t true. Privacy is very important on the internet so that other people cant get on your email and other things and mess with your email and with other people. Every once in a while I feel that my internet safety is compromised but not all the time. For this type of cyberbullying the punishment should be that they have no privileges to be on the internet any more. To protect my self from all of this happening to me I just wont tell anyone my password to anything except my parents.

I really didn't like this video. It made feel like you didn’t ever want to use the internet again. I don't use the internet for very much other than school work. I don't have an I-M or a My Space. And until the seventh grade I didn't even have an E-Mail account. And this video shows why.
Nobody knows the password to my G-mail account but me. And nobody will! I do not like anybody touching, handling, or looking at anything of mine because it is an invasion of privacy unless I say so. In the future I’m not sure if I will get a My-space or not. And I hope I will never get more than two credit cards because of the possibility of identity theft. If I do get credit cards they will be Master card & Visa because everyone accepts either one or the other. And they will be for emergencies ONLY!
I don’t think that my internet safety is invaded because I don’t have anything to be invaded. However A girl in my social studies class said that her My-space was hacked and she had to get a whole new My-space. I know that internet bullying is punishable by law and it should be. It can be taken to court even if the victim doesn’t press charges. And you can protect yourself from cyber bullying. All you have to do is figure out why they make you get a pass word.

Many problems can occur if you give out your password. A person would have access to your private information that you have stored. Someone could even pretend to be you and cause all kinds of problems
for you. When you're a kid, privacy is very important. There are many predators on line. I have never had any problems with my friends and the internet. Maybe the girls who were the bullies should have their parents and principal of their school involved. Yes, I can protect myself by keeping my password and my private information a secret.
Nick Sinclair 8th period
This video shows what could happen if you give your passwords to your friends. If you share passwords with other people something bad is bound to happen. People could get on as your name and steal saved things. That might give them stuff that they don’t deserve. They could also delete important things that you need. This would leave you with nothing. Sharing passwords can have some pretty severe consequences.
Privacy is important component of Internet safety. It is so important because so much can go wrong if someone finds out who you are. They can even find out where you live. You need to be extremely careful not to let anything slip, because the tiniest mess-up can cause major problems. Problems that you don’t want to deal with. It can get bad.
I think that I am pretty safe on the Internet. At least I think I am safe enough not to let friends know anything. Even though they would probably keep a secret they might accidentally do something that both they and I would regret. I also don’t give out any unneeded information about me on the Internet. That way I know I am safe and secure. It would be awful to give information and dread it from then on.
There should be severe punishment for this and any other type of cyber bullying. I think that those people should be taken to court and tried for this nasty behavior. Cyber bullying is unacceptable. It is just plain wrong, and people should be punished for it.
There are many ways to make sure this doesn't happen. The easiest is to use common sense and not to give out information that you wouldn't give out to a complete stranger from the street. That is what you would pretty much be doing if you let some information slip on the Internet. Would it be good to tell people you have never seen anything about you? I don’t think so. The best advice I could give is to be safe, not sorry!

Dear Miss. Constable,
OMG OMG! I know this is a question in the blog, but that video makes me feel bad for that girl. My heart just sinks to a lower feeling that I have never felt before. Another problem that can occur when you give your password out is that someone could: send bad stuff, delete special information, or just mess your sites up or whatever it is. Privacy is such an important thing when it comes to internet safety, because it can spread, spread, and spread to other people. An example would be where if you write it down and give it to someone and they drop it. Guess what then another person can pick it up and login to your things. Possibly if you click a little thing under your password called remember my password, your information could show up on another persons computer. No I know that I can trust all my friends and they would never do a thing like those girls did. Actually I do have some friends that haven’t got to that trust level yet, and they will probably never know my password. There are only two people that know my password, and I know that I can trust them with anything. In my opinion I think those girls should be suspended for a whole year, and while they are suspended they should have to be doing community work. Most importantly those girls need to go up to her and apologize for everything they have done. Not giving anyone your password and not even making anything that needs a password are some easy ways to prevent you from getting this kind of harassment.

I felt really bad for the girl because she thought she could trust her best friend with her password but it ended up that she couldn't. It really only takes one person to tell then it spreads like a fire. If I shared my password with others then people could blackmail me. Privacy is very important in internet saftey because if you told anyone about any of your private information like where you live then they could track you down and kidnap you. If one of my best friends asked what my password to my myspace was then I would more than likely tell them. If this type of cyberbullying happened to you then you should tell your parents right away. They would probably do something to save it from being a complete disaster. You can protect yourself by: NOT GIVING OUT YOUR PASSWORDS OR ADRESSES,ZIPCODES,ETC.

There are many problems that could occur when you share a password with someone. They could post a lot of things as you, and everyone would think it was you. They could get your account on something banned or deleted. There's a lot more bad things, but I forget them at the moment. Privacy is really important on the Internet because people can very easily find out your address. If you give someone your phone number, they can type it in on Google and find exactly where you live. It seems wrong to be able to do that. However, all of my friends seem to take precautions against it. I think people should go to jail for being an online predator, but that is impossible because you can't tell who or where they are. I myself can protect myself from this type of harassment; I play some online games and am a member of some forums, but have never given out any personal information at all.

Well lets see some other things that could occur if you were to share your password with others are those people could get on and change your personal stuff, talk to people as you, or read some things you wouldn't want anyone to read.
Privacy is very important especially when it comes to internet safety. Some people may not realize it but there are people out there that'll ask you for some of your personal information such as, your address or phone number. It's not good to give that kind of stuff out but say your friend is acting as you chating online. What do you do when that friend gives out that kind of information to a complete stranger? Well thats why you shouldn't give out your password to anyone.
Well I believe that internet safety is not compromised by my friends. Now sometimes I do ask one of my friends that I completely trust check stuff for me like my myspace but nothing more. But I do think I need to be more careful.
There should be a punishment but i'm not quite sure as to what this punishment should be. It's kind of hard to decide because parents USUALLY don't monitor their child when they're on the internet and doing what not so its hard to say.
I do believe I can protect myself from this kind of harassment if I am careful about what kind of information i put on the internet, who I talk to, and if I do not share my password with anyone including my friends!

I think it is very dangerous to share your password with others. Someone could get on your myspace or facebook and put up pictures, bad pictures. They could write a whole bunch of mean things about people on your profile. Everyone would be mad at you and maybe even want to hurt you. Privacy is important because it could be dangerous to have everyone know your personal thoughts and feelings. It is also dangerous for people to know your adress, your full name, and your phone number. Alot of stuff could happen. If I really trust someone with everything in me I give them my password even though I shouldn't. If I've known them forever I'll give it to them, but not people I've just met. I think there should be jail time for cyber bullying because people don't know what effect it has on victims. I think you could protect yourself from cyber bullying by just not accepting people who you don't know, or people who you don't like.
above comment ^ Emily Jordan 2nd period
There are alot of problems that can happen if you give out your password. In fact this happen to me on time because I was on my friend's computer and my password saved on his AIM. When I left later that night he got on it I guess and said stuff to my friends but nobody believed that it was me. Privacy is very important because the next time you wont give your password out but you could give a credit card number out or something very important. I don't think the internet is saftey is compromised by any of my friends. The only punishment that you could really give is to take away their computer or something like that. There is one way to protect this harassment and that is not to give your password out even if it is your best friend because they could be forced to give I out or they might get mad at you.

There are many other consequences if you share your password with other people and even your best friends. For example, if you share your Myspace password with others, they could send inappropriate or rude comments/ messages to people under your name. That same consequence can happen if you share your email password. The reason privacy is such an important component of Internet safety is because if you don’t keep your password private, anyone with a computer could see your information or read anything you write. Yes, Internet safety is compromised by my friends. For instance, sometimes they get spam inside their Myspace and send spam messages or comments to me or other people. The punishment for this type of cyberbullying should be somewhere around the lines of suspension. The best way to protect yourself from this type of harassment is to keep your passwords secret and change your them often if you can.
That was super sad about what happened to that girl. There could be even worse problems that could happen though. Someone could steal your identify, and could charge a lot of money to you accounts. In addition, if you have a myspace, they could even worse things to it. Some people have many friends, so even more people could read what someone wrote on your myspace. Your life could be ruined just by one little password.
Privacy is such an important thing with internet safety. There are many creeps out there. Let us say you meet someone on myspace and they trick you and say they're your age, but they're really a 39 year-old man living with his mom in Nebraska. You may learn to trust them, and give them your password for who knows what. They could get a hold of personally information, and if they were dangerous, they could find you. That would be a horrible tragedy. Privacy is very important when trying to be safe online.
I do think that passwords are compromised with friendship. I know some of my friends who give there passwords out to other people, and they've regretted it. I now know to never do it. All girls gossip about other girls, there is no way of stopping it. Things get said and feelings get hurt. If your friend knows your password on myspace, they can read what you’ve said, and friendships are hurt.
I think that there should be that they are banned from being on the internet for a certain amount of time depending on the circumstances. You can protect yourself from cyber bullying harassment by not telling anyone your password. It is very simple.

First of all I thought this video was wrong and that poor girl I felt sorry for her. Other problems that could happen if you were to share your password with others could be whom ever has your password could send mean and disrespectful things to others and you could lose friends cause of that. Or people could be saying things about your that are not true and then you would begin to get a bad reputation!
Privacy is such an important component on the internet because it is important to be safe because if your not safe bad things can happen and it can lead to you getting hurt or possibly even death!!! No, I don't think that internet safety is compromised by my friends. I am not sure what type of punishment there should be for cyber bullying. Yes, I can protect myself from this type of harassment by staying safe and not giving out my password to anyone.

Many problems can occur when you share a password with someone. They can change all of your settings and say stuff and post stuff on the site you are on that are not true. Privacy is very important because you don't want everyone looking at all of your personal things and some thing that are private to you can be embarrassing and you don't want anyone to know about it. I don't ever really think bout my friends while I’m on the Internet but I bet that some of them have comprised the Internet safety. I think that there should be a very big punishment for cyber bullying. I think that the person that did it should never be aloud to be on the site ever again. I think that I can protect myself because I know how your not supposed to talk to strangers and I only talk to people that are my friends.

If you would share your password with other people, they could give it to other people, do something bad like what happened in this video, or mess up whatever your password is to like a myspace. Privacy is an important part of internet safety because there are some bad people out there that might trick you into meeting them and other things like that. I don’t really know if internet safety is compromised by my friends. I think the punishment for this kind of cyber bullying should be getting suspended and telling everyone what really happened. Yes, you can protect yourself by that kind of harassment by not giving your password out in the first place and by changing it often.

Some of the problems that can occur if you share your passwords is people can access your personal information and ruin your life or start trouble for someone else. I don’t think that it’s right for anyone to share their passwords with anyone except for their parents. I think that it is important to have privacy on the internet, because there are a lot of bad people in the world and many of them think that it’s funny to mess around with someone else’s privacy. I don’t think that my internet safety is compromised by any of my friends. I think that people who abuse their internet use and start rumors, harass other people, or cyberbully should have all of their internet privileges taken away. Yes I can protect myself from cyberbullying by not telling anyone my password or letting them look at me when I am typing my password in. Also, I don’t talk to or hang out with anyone who would put me in that position.
Other problems that may occur by giving your password out to who you think are your close friends are that they could change your password if they got mad at you and you'd be unable to accsess you account.
Without some privacy on the internet things could be disasterous. It is so important because alot of information can be linked to a email account such as credit card numbers, home address, and home telephone numbers. That type of information, if given out, could result in financial and even physical harm to you and your family.
Personally, I do feel that with some friends of mine, too much information is displayed on myspaces and AIM profiles. Some of the information on there could be very jeapordizing.
As for punishment of cyber bullying, there isn't much of a way for one to be punished. Alot of times it doesn't actually go on at school so its hard for the administration to do anything about it. Any discipline that takes place should more than likely come from the parents in the situation.
Yes, i can definitely protect myself from online bullying. Some of the most simple way are to protect my personal account information and password, not give out too much information on my blog sites, and also to try my best to stay out of online arguments and other arguments where people could use what i say against me.
Ali Sansalone
If you shared your password with others they could post where you live and all sorts of things like that and a predator could come after you. Also the same thing could happen from the movie and that is a horrible thing. Privacy is an important thing because predators could come after you, people can could cyber bully someone and they could tell their parents and you would get in trouble, and lastly people could send incriminating photos of you to other people just like in the video. I cannot relate to any of my friends compromising Internet safety because I never have gave them my password for that very reason. I think the punishment should be that you get expelled from you school and Internet access is permanently band for that person. Yes you can protect your self from this harassment by just not telling anyone your password or not having a E-mail account or myspace account.

In addition to losing friends or broken friendships there are several other problems that could occur if you share your password with others. This includes invasion of privacy, identity theft, or possible changes to your account. Privacy is an important component of internet safety to protect your personal and financial records. I do not think any of my friends comromise internet safety, because our parents assist and monitor what we do. Those found guilty of cyberbullying should be banned from using the internet for a stipulated amount of time. I protect myself by not sharing passwords and having my parents monitor my use of the internet.
the video was every sad people should of not done that it was so mean the kids in the video make fun of her and it was not right the girl that put the things on line and the photo want to far and the people that started it is the worst thing every and the girl feel so unsafe wherever she want the girl has one friends and her life mess up and it will never be the same in the past always be with her all because of one thing
nicole mccaulley
I think alot of teens should watch this movie clip because it really shows that sharing your password can be really harmful and dangerous. Alot of cyberbullying can go on if you share your password with others. Sharing passwords with your best friend, like in the video,can be dangerous. You never know what people especially teens would do to be popular and cool.
Privacy is very important on the internet because your profile no matter who gets on it looks like it is you. Fights and arguments could be blamed on you. Maybe even sexual harrassment or any kind of mean and serious things. Nobody wants to be blamed or embarassed infront of the whole school and especially guys.
I think there should be a fine for cyberbullying if the bullies are caught. Cyberbullying I think is just as bad as sexual harrassment and harrassment in general. It is very sneaky and clever to cyberbully and it is very wrong. Maybe if the bullies get caught and get fined, they will learn from their mistakes.
Alot of my friends have had this problem and they felt used. One of my friends asked a girl to help her design a myspace and the myspace ended up like a place for the girl to say means things to people she disliked like it was my friend who was innocent.
The only way to protect yourself from cyberbullying is not to give out your password even if you are pressured to. If someone made the mistake to give you their password, don't tell anyone and definitely don't be a cyberbully. It is very mean.
Jenny Bundy 8TH
If you share your passwords with other people they could pretend to be you and make you look bad, or they could ruin certain things that are important to you. The internet is never a private place, no matter how save you think you are there is always somebody somewhere that will figure out a way to get to you. You could be murdered, raped, or even just humiliated. Yes, even if your friends don't purposely give out your information anything can happen. Never trust anyone with your personal information. The internet is used by almost everybody in the world, therefore any wrong doing that takes place on the computer can be tracked by the government. You could punished by your parents and by the government.
This kind of harassment can be protected. When you keep your personal information a secret, always know who you are talking to, and act wisely when you are using the internet your chances of being at risk for cyberbullying will lower considerably.
- Madison Hoke 2nd pd.
Other problems that could occur are things such as giving your password to someone else and having them give you password to a stranger and they could very easily track you down. I dont think internet safty is comromised by my friends because if I would give them my passord they could do something if we got mad at each other.

If you were to share your password with others, they could anything they wanted. Your password is the only thing you have to protect yourself on the web. Privacy is so important because anything you do can turn up everywhere. Once you post a picture or a comment, anybody can have it and do anything with it. I am not sure how you could go about punishing someone for cyberbulling because there is no way to know who really did the bullying. Yes, by only staying on only the sfae sites.

Some problems that could occur if you shared your password with others are people getting on your name and gossiping about other people. Kids could get mad at you and this could greatly bring down your reputation. Another problem could be kids going through your mail and even looking at your grades.
Online privacy is important because some weird adults might trace you down. The punishment for this cyber bullying should vary among the details of the case. If someone were to peek over your shoulder and look at you typing your password and steal your identity, that punishment should be much greater than if you told someone your password and they looked at your grades. Although looking at someone else’s grades is minor, it is still illegal and therefore they should still get punished. You can protect yourself from this harassment simply by not telling anyone your password.
Michael Buonaiuto 7th prd.
I think some other things that could happen would be going to unnecessary websites, downloading things that are wrong and illegal, and sending things to people that are wrong. Privacy is such an important component is because you it keeps you from getting horrible pop-ups and e-mails sent to you. Yes I do believe internet safety is compromised by my friends. I think there should be some punishment for doing that. Since it is school either a suspension or expulsion should be taken affect of. Yes, you can protect yourself from this type of punishment by having fraud monitors on your computer and a website blocker on there also.

One problem would be if that person would tell someone else, and it gets out someone would do something mean to that person. It is very important because you do not want someone to get your private information out in the open.

Some of the problems that would occur if you share your password with others is kind of dangerous. Because not only can they embaruss you, but they can find out some of your pesonal information that you dont want everyone to no about.
Privacy is an important component of internet safty because if something happens like if you press a wrong button you could have the whole world no who you are. If older people found where you live you may never see your family again. If people found a way to get into your email account than the could talk bad about you and every one wold stop and stare or wisper about what you wrote.
No, i do not ever feel that internet safty is compromised by any of my friends. i can't think of a really good punishment to use for cyberbullying, but I think that alot of who every is giveing this bullying probalby has problems at home like shannon and Stephanie said. The problems at home can build up so much anger that ,well, some has to take it out on someone else. I thik that you can prevent yourself from this harassment by not telling anyone your personal information with the computers.such as any passwords or screen names.

I think the punishment for this bullying is grounding and the computer get taking away for 6 months.

Some other problems that could occur are someone could change your password so you can't get on their account or they could give your personal information for example your phone number, address, etc.
Privacy is such an important component to the Internet because people can hack into your bank accounts, stalk you and even worse like kidnapping you, or even killing you. One the news daily there is reports of someone getting raped, killed, or missing from information given out on the Internet. People should never EVER put your phone number, where you live, or the school you attend.
Yes I do feel my safety was violated because someone hacked into my Myspace account and changed my password, which kept me from being able to login.
The punishment for this should be justice. The person charged with the crime should have to go to trial and face whatever the same punishment for a person found guilty of kidnapping, raping, or stolen identity. It should be pretty severe because this is a serious crime.
Yes you can protect yourself from this by never giving out your information to anyone including your password. It’s a good idea to change your password frequently.

This is terrible but yet realistic. You cannot trust anyone with anything anymore and that is disappointing. I really feel bad for this girl, but she should not have given out her password. I have never given anyone my password to anything. Giving someone your password to anyone, even your best friend, can wind up being one of the worst decisions of your life. People can manipulate and change nearly any aspect of the internet, but if they do not have your password, they cannot change anything of yours. You always have to be safe and giving out your password is not being safe. People are mean and ruthless, they will do anything to you for amusement, no matter how mean or harmful.
Phillip Colasessano 1st
If you share your password with others, so many things could happen. People could send things to your friends and say horrible things, then people will hate you and you won't have nay friends. Also, you could lose any information you have saved to something that requires a password. If you do not keep things private, very bad things can happen. Things that happened in the video, and even worse things because people can get all the information about you. I do not feel internet safety is compromised by my friends. I pick my friends carefully and would trust most of them with my life, but i still don't give out my password. There should be punishment such as an eye for an eye, so the people who do these things should have embarrassing things happen to them. You can protect yourself from this by not sharing your password.
The possibilities are endless once someone else has your password. A password is supposed to be completely personal. Even if you think that you can trust someone multiple thinks could persuade that person to go against that trust and give your password away. You shouldn't give anyone any personal information about yourself or others. Especially on the internet there are many people who are trying to get you to tell them your personal information so that they can harm or harass you. You have no way of proving that someone is who they claim to be. Like in this video, the guys believe that the girl sent the picture herself since it was from her email. She has no way to prove to them that the other girls sent the picture. Most of my friends know how to stay safe online. If we can find a way to catch these cyber bullies then they should be punished severely. I don't think they really realize how dangerous these actions. The only way to protect yourself from this type of harassment is to keep all personal information, well, "personal."

Some other problems that could occur if you shared your password with others, is they could guess on a lot of different things like your password to your e-mail accuont and send bad e-mails to other people that you may or may not know, that could cause you to get in a lot of trouble with your parents, your friends, your teachers, your principal, and especially the authorities. Plus it's just not right to share passwords with people. Privacy is such an important component on the internet because extremely creepy and nasty people do some very bad things on it and don't care wether you are involved or not, and sometimes they come after you and put in at risk of being kidnapped or stolked. Sometimes I feel that some of some of my friends put me at danger on the internet, but whenever I get that feeling I make them get of whatever website they are on wether or not were they are on the internet on my computer. The type of punishment that I think would be suitable for these online bullies, is if and when they are caught they should be taken to jail and be made fun of infront of everyone there. Yes, you can protect yourself from that type of harassment by not making fun of other people or doing it behind their back. You can also provent yourself from maybe being exposed to this cyberbullying by not giving anyone your passwords or doing things that you know you are not supposed to be doing. Always be nice to people even if you don't know, or want to know them because they could be the difference between you being insulted or you having an enemy who's father might just happen to work in a very respected part of the military and who's father might just be able to track doen someone who is being a bully online or track down a forty year old man or women trying to kidnap you and do things that I 'am not alowed to speak of.
This video is a good one it is a perfect example of what could happen if you share your password with anyone even your best friend. Because you and them could get in a fight and they could tell everyone your password us to get back at you.
This is a big thing these days because kids are always talking to people online, And these people may say their sixteen and they could be twenty-five.You could also get in alot of trouble by giving out your personal information even worse you could get hurt.

There are MANY problems that can happen when you give out your password. Other people can get into your personal information. They can change items on the internet sites that you visit. They can steal and cheat using your password. People can even loss their jobs if certain hackers get your password and abuse it.
It is terrible for people to invade another person’s privacy. They can not only find out about your private life, but they can do terrible things to your life and your character.
Additionally, there are so many hackers out in the world. So, it would be stupid to give your password to anyone!! I had a friend give out a password, and their life was almost ruined! What is really depressing is that some of these people you think are your friends…BUT, THEY AREN’T!!! I think they should be punished severely!
Some ways that you can protect yourself is to come up with a really bizarre password. It's important to choose a good (strong) password since there are many password-cracking programs readily available on the Internet. Use numbers or various marks like - $, !, *,. These marks are unique and it makes it more difficult for hackers to come up with them.
In conclusion, NEVER give out your password. The girl in the video was really devastated by what happened to her. It probably changed her life. It was a dreadful decision. The internet is a great thing, with so much information, but we have to use it wisely!
Wes Ashcraft – 7th Period
This video is extremely sad. But I don't feel bad for the girl because she was stupid to do it anyways.
Just because someone says that they are you're best friend, dosen't mean you should trust them that much. You never know, your bff could turn out to be a total mess. People sometimes take advantage of you and you may not even realize that they are until you start to reconize the consequences.
I can easily relate to this girl because she was backstabbed by a friend, and I've been too.
Privacy is so very important, and it's VERY important to be extremely careful with it.

Sorry that this blog is so late, but i've been having computer troubles. There is lots of other things that could happen if you were to share your password with another person. Such as...
Identity theft
Maxed out credit cards
Of credit fraud
Privacy is very important because without internet privacy, someone could watch what you are doing on your computer, and very easily commit fraud. I never feel or have felt that one of my friends were compromising my internet safety.
I would never think that a person's best friend could do that to them, but I guess anything can happen. There are many other things that could happen to you if you gave your password out - even to your best friend. You could get your credit card number stolen, your idenity stolen, or your reputation could become ruined.
Privacy is a very important component of internet safety. It keeps things private, or if you don't handle it carefully, the whole world could know.
I think that the punishment should be handled at home, unless a part of it happened at school. This situation, however, should be handled at home, unless the parents of the victim wanted to take it to court.
Protecting yourself from this type of harassment is simple and easy. Just don't give your password out to anybody, including your best friend.
Many things can happen when you give your password out, and this is just one example. Privacy is important because predators can find you, you can be harrased, and you can get embarressed like in the video. I dont feel compromised, but i dont give my password out either. This should be illeagel and i bet on some level that it is. THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF IS TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORD SECRET
People could sign you up for all kinds of things like chat rooms and more and practically steal your identity. These things could get you in all different forms of danger like stalkers :(, and even things like in trouble with your parents for having an account. Even though you did not sign your self your self up, you can’t get out of it because it’s your information. Privacy is so important on the Internet. There are all kinds of freaking that could mess you up for life. There are all kinds of punishments of this, too. You could get something as little as a bad reputation in school for something you did not even do, or something as serious as stalkers :(. But you can protect your self from this danger. You could easily just not have Internet access and be a hermit, but why should you miss all those things the Internet provides out of fear. Well, you shouldn’t be afraid of it. Just make sure never to give your password out, not even to your best friends. Even though there is the word best in front of friend does not always means trustful and trust worthy. So be cautious of what is out there but do not do stupid things to put your self in rough situations.

Oh wow this made me think twice about privacy of you password....
Some other problems that could occur if you shared you passowrd with others are that they could change things on you MySpace profile and write embarresing things. They could get on you AIM and send your friends IMs or e-mails. This could cause your friends to be mad at you because they thought you said rude things. It would cause you to be embarresed by what people change on your MySpace. Sharing your password is just really unsafe!!
Privacy is a very important component of Internet saftey because if your not cautious a lot of bad things could happen. There are a lot of bad people that will do anything to embarress or hurt teenagers all for the fun of it. Its really awful but it happens! No, I don't think that internet safety is compromised by my friends. I think the people that do this type of cyberbullying should not be allowed on the Internet. This would save people a lot less trouble. I can protect myself from this type of harrassment by not giving anyone my password. I don't think I would even give my password to my best friends. Some people try to give me their passowrds but I say no because I don't know what could happen!

If you shared your password with some others, you could have those people tell sexual predators your password and they could find out where you live.
With privacy, people can not find out certain things about you and they can not destroy your internet lifestyle.
No I do not. Most of my friends are good people who would not try to harm others. Though some of my friends are questionable.
I think cyberbullies should go to jail and see what real bullies do to people and what would happen if someone did that to them.
You can protect yourself by not posting things you should not and you should keep important things to yourself at all times.

Some problems that could occur if i shared my password with others would be that they could send dirty messages to my friends and then everyone would be mad at me. Privacy is a major component of the Internet because of hackers, child molesters, and criminals in the world. I feel at times some of my friends do compromise Internet safety. I believe that someone should be punished with a nigfht in jail for everytime that they committed this crime. I believe if your totally private about your passwords on the Internet then you can protect yourself from this.

If you were to give your password away eventually everyone could know it because you can’t always trust the person you give it to. This is why you keep your personal information to yourself. Yes I have felt that the internet safety could be compromised by my friends. For this reason the person that was caught bulling on the computer should be in trouble from the school and at home because bullying shouldn’t happen any ways. If I would say off of site that aren’t promising and stay out of contact with those that drive me insane I could prevent this harassment.

If you were to give your password to someone and you had a myspace, they could go in and upload gross pictures. They could also change stuff around on your profile and put inappropriate things on there. If you gave someone your im password they could im people saying mean things and say stuff you would never say. It could be dangerous, for instance people kill themselves over mean internet messages, and people could end up getting mad at you. Sharing your password could ruin your life. Privacy is a big part of internet safety because it protects harm to you and other people. For this type of cyber bulling you could sue the people who did this to you if it was threatening and harmful. You can protect yourself by never trusting anyone outside of your family with your password. Keeping it a secret could save your reputation.

In this movie the girls only embarrassed her. It could have been way worse. They could have used the password to give her name to send messages to people in authority and she could have gotten in extreme trouble with just not her parents and friends but with the state authority.
Privacy is a huge role in internet safety. It helps keep people out of your profiles that you have pictures or messages to friends. They also could change things on your profile to hurt your relationships with friends and family. I’m not going to go into detail but they could put some pictures of you that show you doing something you would never do.
I don’t feel save if I give my friends my password. If my friends get a hold of my password and they do something bad on my profile I would probably get in a fight. Also they should get in trouble from there parents or school depending on were they did it. I think the only way to prevent it from happening is to keep your private things to yourself
This video made me sad and mad at the same time. Sad for the girl whose trust was broken and mad at the girl, who was supposed to be her friend, for telling everyone her password. Many problems can occur when you give out your password. This video is one example of what can happen. Also, people can get a lot of personal information from your computer and they can actually steal your identity. If one person who is not trustworthy gives out your password, it is really hard to know how many people really end up knowing it. Privacy is very important to internet safety because some people have their entire lives on the computer such as their bank accounts, their personal information and pictures. A lot of people order things on the internet and that requires name, address and credit card numbers. I don't feel that my Internet safety has ever been compromised because I never give my password to anyone. I have a Myspace, and I have no personal information on it, for that very reason. Only my friends have access to it. If you can get proof exactly who has "cyberbullied" you, they should be punished by getting expelled, having to apologize to the girl, and having to tell everyone the truth about what they did. Although, once something is out there for everyone to see, you can't really take it back. You can protect youself from this type of situation by never giving your password or any personal information to anyone!
Some problems that could occur from sharing a password with someone is that person messing with your personal life. Privacy is so important for internet safety because people could find out who you are, and what you do, making your life miserable. The punishment for this type of cyber bullying should be a $500 or more. You can protect yourself from this type of harassment to a point. You can stop people from harassing you from putting them onto an ignore list on the type of internet page you are on. Of course, that can’t completely stop them; they can just make another account on that website and harass you even more.
Ryan Wilson 5/6th period
This video was terrible! Two best friend’s relationship was ruined because one girl wanted to be accepted by the popular crowd. Girls should have higher self-esteem than to betray their best friend for acceptance.
When you share your password, you are putting yourself at risk of many problems. Someone could delete all your friends under your account, take away or add things to your profile, and send vulgar or offending messages to others. Sharing your password with someone, could even cause you to end up in legal trouble for something you didn’t do. What would happen if someone was under your account and wrote you were planning an attack on your school, or going to commit some type of hate crime? If you were in a situation similar to the girl in the video, you could get into trouble for nudity on sites that didn’t allow it. Someone who you think you could trust could possibly share details of your life over the Internet that you never would share or want public. It could be hard to get into a good college or find a good job when you have a record of posting offensive material over the Internet.
Privacy online is a very important issue that most teenagers don’t give enough priority. They don’t think anyone will notice if they post things inappropriately. But even if you change your mind about putting something on the internet and take it off, someone may have already copied it and saved it to their computer and you do not have control of it anymore. Once you put something up, you really have to consider it public property. Sharing a simple password could seriously affect a person’s life.
Punishment for cyber bulling should be extremely severe. Even if someone isn’t careful about their information, you should never take advantage of or try to hurt someone.
The only effective way to protect yourself online is to keep your information private, and to change your password regularly. Or don’t post things online at all.

Some problems that may occur if you share your passwords with other people would be some of things that happened in this video. Such as, having people say things to others and telling them that it is me. Privacy is such an important factor on the internet for many reasons. One reason being, that others cannot steal your identity, credit card numbers, and even your social security. NO, I don not feel that my internet safety is a compromised factor with my friends because I trust them and I would not be stupid enough to share my passwords with anyone. The punishment for this type of cyber bullying should be academic probation resulting in suspension or even juvenile hall. You can protect yourself from this kind of internet harassment by not sharing your passwords with anyone and also if you must write them down you should keep them in a safe place such as a vault or a locked computer file with a password that is you’re alone.
Andrew Strand 8th period
Other problems that could occur if you would share your password with others, or your friends could be that they tell complete strangers where you live, how old you are, or even where you go to school. If you don’t have any privacy on the internet than you might as well broadcast your whole life to the world. I don’t feel that my internet safety is being compromised by my friends, mostly because I have known them for years and I know that they would never put anything inappropriate about me online. I also think that there should be a serious punishment for doing something that bad, like they should be expelled and have to sit down with the principal while he tells their parents what they did. Although there is a way to protect yourself from those kinds of people, or situations and that is to not give them your password or anything personal about your online life.
This is up setting, becouse the girl trusted them with her password. This just shoes that it can happen to anyone. A lot of thing can occure if you share your password with anyone. Some large thing that can happen are identity theft, kiddnapping, rape, and evan death can occure.
This happened to me once before. My friend, and I were creating Myspaces. I put almost 3 houres of work into it, and then I gave him my password. He completly deleted it. Them he told me never to trust anyone with your password, not evan your best friend.
thanks Chris
Some problems that may occur if you share you’re password are that you may get very mad at the person and may be embarrassed. For example let’s use myspace if someone knew your password then you in deep crap, because they can add people you don’t want added or delete your myspace or send messages to people you don’t even know. You can do a lot on other people’s stuff because there never know it’s you because your on a computer and there on a computer and never see your face.
Privacy is such an important component of Internet safety because it’s not safe to give out your password. Plus privacy is very important to me because if I gave out my password then there send stuff to people that is not true. There are a lot of hacker’s on the internet so be very careful make sure you keep all your passwords to your self and make sure you keep all your stuff on private to.
No I don’t feel safe with them knowing my password because your friends can go around and stab you in the back like on the video. The punishment should be a week of ISS I think. Sometimes you can protect your self from this. How you can not give your password out, but sometimes there are hackers.

This video was kind of sad I guess. I think that the girl in the video didn’t deserve what had happened. I think that the other girl isn’t a true friend at all. That poor girl had friends then that thing happened to her changed what people thought of her! If a friend ever did that to me I would not talk to that friend for a while. That person that did that to her is rude and hateful I don’t ever see me doing that to a friend. If I did do that to a friend then I would apologias for what I did!
Other problems that could of occurred in this video would have been; no friends, and the girl could have changed schools. That’s what I would do.
By: Jordan Dublin
If I would have to give one of my friends my password i would give them the wrong one. Because they could accidently give it to someone else and they could start sending messages to my friends. And get my friends mad at me and then I would have to make a new password. The reason privacy is an important component is that a password is to stay a secret and stay a secret from any body even if you give it to a friend it you should hurry up and change it before they get on and mess up your stuff. No because even if they are your friends you still should not give them your password. The punishment for this kind of cyberbullying is to stop the web site. You really can not protect this kind of harrassment because once the words are out they can come back in.
People who know your password would tell other people your password. Privacy is important because after you lose it you can't get it back. No, i don't feel that way. The punishment should be that the person should not be allowed to use the computer. Yes, you can protect yourself.
Some problems with giving your friends your password is that they could say something mean to another one of your friends and the very next day they will maybe never talk to you again! Also if they have your myspace password they could put things about you on there that are not even true!!!! Privacy is important because nothing or no one could do anything to hurt you... Yes, I can protect myself from these type of things because i will not talk to anyone that i don't know!!!!

Some problems that could occur if you shared your password with someone are that person or people could use your name to chat online. They could start rumors about you. .I think its wrong what they did to that girl, but then again she shouldn't have given out her password! Privacy is very important on the internet because you could be kidnapped or things like people hacking onto your profile and ruining it .I think that the people who do this i am not sure what kind of punishment the deserve. I protect myself by not doing a lot on the internet.

This video is true don't trust anyone even your friends cause you can tell them something and tell them not to tell and they do any ways. I had to learn that the hard way and it was my best friend in the intire world I would do anything for and he betraded me any ways. I think the girl was stupid for giveing her friend her password and she should of knew that if she gave her the password she could at any moment give it away. I would of not of did that.
If you give somebody your password all your messges could get read and you could loose all of your privacy. Because on the internet you arent supposed to even tell people your name let online somebody your password. I dont feel that internet safety is compromised by any of my friends at all. The person should get their account deleted or something. yes, dont tell anybody your password.
I thought that mas really mean of those girls to do that to that other girl who just thought she was a bff with them. They could have posted a untrue message about her, they could have told her deepest darkest secerts and a lot more things. This example with them showing that oicture that will be on the enternet FOREVER!!! When she goes and trys to get a job later in life that oicture will be there and it may loose that job for her!! I think that they should expel her from school. You could protect her from this is by not haveing the kind of site that she was on or haveing it and not putting any pictiyres on it.

Some problems that could occur if you share your password with others is that they could get into your website, change everything, and make people think that you are something who you are really not.
Privacy is such an important component because if things weren't made to be private, the website that you are using would not make you make up a password and username. Having them make up their OWN password is because no one could hack into your account.
The type of punishment that should be used for this type of cyberbullying is to have their own pade deleted. For example, lets say someone broke into my MySpace account. I believe that their own MySpace pagr should be deleted because they don't want to get on their own, and they want to get on someone else's.
I think that I can protect myself from this type of harrasment. I think that because I am smart enough because i would never give out any information to anyone that i could not trust with my personal stuff.
This makes me think twice before giving my password to anyone. I don't usually do it, so im glad I havent. This girl had some bad things done to her, but many other things could happen. For example: she could post something about where you live, your school, or your phone number. This is dangerous. Another thing that could happen would be post something on a website about you saying things you would never say, and this could get you into a lot of trouble if they say something they shouldn't. I do not thing internet safety is compromised by my friends. They are my friends for a reason, and I think I have good judgement when it comes to who I should hang out with.
I don't think you could ever be punished enough for this. This girl has been embarrased, and something like that, especially for a teenaged girl if serious to her.
Yes, I believe you can protect yourself from this kind of harassment. It is simple, DONT SHARE YOUR PASSWORD! Plain, and simple.

The video was of the girl in the video shouldn’t give her number in the first place and fight and the things would haven’t started would the girl and her friends and the girls friend had no right too what she did to her and it was not right but that’s what you do when things get around to people in life and what people do to hurt and the kid should of dropped it and was not cool at all the people are just the password was her and for anyone to see.
Some of the other problems could be like if one of your friends talk to a stranger and they give them your address. Then , they could possibly come to your house and kill you.
I think privacy is a very important component so nobody random could get your password and say mean things to people or to give out personal information.
I think that Internet safety isn't compromised between friends.Because I dont know what there doing at home on the computer.
I think that people cyberbully on the computer should be band from all computer or put in jail.Because none desirves to get bullyed over the computer.
Yes, you can prevent harassment from cyber bullying. You can block people on the computer from talking to you.
If you were to share your password they could get in trouble. If no privacy people could find out information on you that they should not. No my friends do not ask me anything that they shouldn't. There account on everything should be cut off. Yes, do not give out personal information.
Some problems are that you could get into so much trouble with grown-ups may get or see what has been sent to a person or people. Your password would be passed around to a lot of people and people may think that is what you are saying.
Privacy is an important thing because some people can get into your file and find out a lot more about you than people need to know.
I think that internet safety is very important and I'm not sure about my friends and internet safety.
There should be some kind of punishment for cyberbullying. I have no idea how to punish them though.
I think I can protect myself while I'm on the internet.
~Cheyenne Braden~ ~period5&6~
Most of the problems of sharing your password are that bad stuff can be done just like that that happened in the video. If you give your password out, then you and that person get in a fight, they can ruin your life. Privacy is a main concern on the internet because, there are strange and bad people in the world that act like they are 14 year olds that just want to be friends. Then they start asking questions about where you like and stuff. I think that some of my friends and myself sometimes do things on the internet that we probably shouldn’t do, like put our real names on Myspace and give out passwords.
If you share your password with others, you literally give to them your AUP. Once they have your password, they can look at dirty Youtube videos, slanderish Photobucket pics, and anything in between. The almighty password keeps others out of your private stuff. Internet safety is compromised by most of my friends. punishment suitable for hainess crime would be jail/community service. I can protect yourself from this type of harassment by sharing my password with no one.
