Cyberbullying
Have you ever been bullied on a social web site? Do you know anyone who has been bullied on a web site? How can you help stop harrassment on these sites? What is your favorite social site? Do you have snapchat? Vine? Instagram? Do you have a smart phone? Does anyone monitor your posts on any of these sites?

Well, I have never really been bullied or cyber bullied. I mean I have gotten in to arguments on social networks with people but, overall I haven't. People I know have. I really think it is pointless. When you have to insult someone to make yourself feel good there is something wrong with you. My mom and dad raised me where you should treat people how you want to be treated. They are very very pertective over who I talk to what I do and what social networks I have. My favorite one is Instagram. My mom actually made one to keep an eye on me ha.

The topic of the blog this week is cyber bullying. Most adults think that this is just stupid name calling, but it's not. This is a very serious subject, many kids have went to as far as to take their own life to get away from the torment they get everyday. I personally don't know anyone that has been bullied or have bullied anyone. I use Instagram for social media and to keep up with my friends. Most of my family follows me so I can't do or say anything inappropriate on that site. Most of the kids that are bullied are to scared to say anything to an adult because of blackmail or treats. Anyone can make a difference in this epidemic. All it takes is to tell an adult or if it is really bad and turning violent tell the police. Or even just smile and say hello to them it will have a great effect on their day.

Cyber bullying to me is dumb and pointless. Like why do you have to make someone feel a certain type of way just so you can feel some sort of relief. That is sick and cruel to feel any kind of satisfaction from it. But it is a very common thing that happens with so many people and so many people have committed suicide from this. People on instagram are really bad at this. If you go on a famous persons page, they will have tons and tons of followers. And someone is always in a argument and usually they have nothing to do with the image posted. But, this all needs to stop. Seriously. Grow up and know that all the bad stuff you do online will com back to you.

I have never been bullied on a social site nor do I know someone that has been bullied on a social site. I think it's wrong, very wrong for people/kids to bully someone at all. Either it's on social media or face to face. It's wrong. Why should you pick on someone that's never did one thing to you ? Even if they have done something to you , go to an adult and tell them your problem and hopefully it will stop. To help stop cyber bullying you can start a media site that you can give your opinion on bullying. Instagram and snapchat are my favorite social sites. Snapchat : yes , vine : yes , Instagram : yes . I have an iPhone. My dad monitors my Instagram 24/7 to make sure I'm not doing something I'm not suppose too. By . Taylor Odell 4/5th period
Cyber bulling is worse than it looks. I've been a victim of cyber bullying before it doesn't feel good at all! You think everyone thinks of you in that way it's terrible. So many people take their live every day just from cyber bullying. If this ever happens block them and tell and adult. Also get proof then they will get caught and they will get the consequence. I have social media like instagram to keep up with everyone. My parents have it also to see what I'm doing to check. I think it's a good idea my parents monitor that stuff.
I Have never personally bullied over the internet by anyone. I do know people who have been cyberbullied and its scary what people says because it really hurts that person and drains them mentally. A way you could stop harrasment is to tell someone whats going on. But at the same time telling someone will probably prevoke them to bully more. It is crazy what people say and as twisted and crazy as it sounds they probably dont even know half of what their words effect people. My favorite social site is instagram. I have a snapchat, vine, instagram, facebook and twitter. I have a smart phone that I get on my social media sites with also. My mom moniters my posts but at the end of the day she knows that she can trust my descions.
I actually have never been a victim of cyber bullying,but I do know some people who have. I don't think there is a purpose to bully someone on the internet because you are hiding yourself, when you are the bully. A lot of times someone bullies others is to make themselves feel good or things like that and that is sickening. It's like what my grandma always said "Treat people how you want to be treated." You shouldn't call someone a name if you don't want to be called names back. I would say my favorite social network is Instagram, because I can see what my friends are doing and keep up with the news on celebrities. It's very surprising, but my mom doesn't monitor my social sites. My mom knows she can trust me, but she does ask me about what's happening, and if there is anything she should be concerned of. If there is something, I tell her.
I have never been bullied through cyber bulling, but I know a few people who have. Cyber bulling is a horrible thing that happens through many social sites and should be stopped. It causes victims to have low self-esteem. It can also cause people go drastic into doing things like suicide. If you are being bullied by the media you should report this to an adult. If you find someone else who is being bullied, you should report this too. Your report can make a big difference upon their lives. The only social site I have would be Instagram. My mom let me create an account as long as she could check on it. She is constantly checking on my account and on my latest posts.
I have never been a victim of Cyber Bulling but I know someone that has. To me Cyber bulling is point less it make no sense to me. Why would someone do it? Just because your life suck doesn't mean you go around making people feel bad to. My mom has never monitor me ever because I will never Cyber I know people are like "never say never". I will not do it under anything will not do it. My favorite social site it Facebook just because I like to talk to friends and like stuff and share them.

I have never been cyber bullied but I have known people who have been. I tried to make them feel good and have succeeded a lot of the time. I only have one piece of social media and that is Kik. I do have a smart phone but I have only had Kik since yesterday. I also only talk to people I know for sure. I usually help my friends by guiding them to the right thing to do.
I have never been bullied on any social web sites, but I do know someone who has. They were upset and felt self-conscious for weeks even after the person who bullied them said sorry. The pain does not go away even after the person who said it wished they hadn't had A way I can help stop harassment on social media is blocking people who say something rude to me or if I see it happening to someone else to tell them to stop. My favorite social site would have to be either Instagram or Snapchat. Yes I have Snapchat, Instagram, and Vine. I also have a smart phone. My Mom and Dad both monitor me on all my social sites to make sure I’m using the sites wisely.
I am on a few social media sites. I have accounts for Instagram, Vine, Facebook, Snapchat, and Kik. My favorite is Vine because it is funny and has lots of awesome videos. I have not been a victim of cyberbullying, and I don't know anyone who has been. One way to prevent cyberbullyng is to keep your profiles private, and limit the number of people that follow you and block/report anyone who tries to bully. Then, save it and show an adult. My mom and brother moniter what I do so this stuff doesn't happen. Remember not to cyberbully and get help if you or anyone you know is cyberbullied.
I think that people who bully either want other people to feel their pain or just like to do it for fun. What I meant by they want u to feel their pain is cause they might be getting abuse by their parents or something like that because you don't know what people go through at home maybe the only meal they get is at school. Anyways I think people should either talk with someone about what they are going through or if they are doing it for fun they need to stop. This cyberbullying stuff is not funny is you are doing it for kicks some people think of suicide just because of this. Always remember the golden rule treat people how you want to be treated

I haven't been bullied on a social website, but I know a few people who have been. You can stop harassment on these sites by making your accounts private. Also, you can make sure you know everyone who is following you and seeing your pictures. You should keep your private information off the internet site. For example, including your address and phone number wouldn't be safe. My favorite social site would be instagram. I enjoy seeing pictures of my friends and family on it. I have a snapchat and vine as well. I follow and add my friends. I make sure my information is safe on those sites, just like instagram. I use all of the apps on my smart phone. My parents follow me and make sure I post appropriate things.
I never really have been bullied over social media But there has been a couple times where I've made someone mad and they said some things. I honestly think I have been in an online game lobby on Xbox live (my favorite social media) and heard more people get bullied, more than you would believe. What I am meaning is there are some people that make an account just to bully people. There are a couple ways we could help stop this though. The best way in my opinion would be to block that person on what ever you are on. I do have an instagram but that is it out of the three. No one stalks my account on instagram well that I know of. I also have an IPhone 4S that I use to check things one like social media. All together I think that people need to be more respect for other people.
I personally have never been bullied on a social website. I do know some people that have though, and that should not be allowed. People be mean to other people on social media to be funny, but its really not. My favorite social media site is probably Instagram, because I like seeing my friends posts. Yes, I have snap chat, vine, and instagram and many people get bullied on these websites. I think the website that gets the most cyber bullying is Instagram, and snap chat. Snap chat especially because people judge what picture you put on your story, and they feel the need to harass you on social media.I see comments on instagram all the time to people I don't know saying mean things. My mom actually has an instagram, and a snap chat that she monitors me on. She looks at these sites daily most of the time just to monitor them. I don't mind my mom looking at my instagram, because really it doesn't bother me.

I don't think I have ever been bullied on a social media website. I think I know a few people like 2 or 3 who have been bullied. People always say "treat people like you want to be treated". People bully because they do it for fun or they have another story behind it. Bullying can hurt people really badly inside. To decrease this you can make your accounts private. I have social networks like instagram and twitter. Bullying is stupid and pointless. If you know someone getting bullied tell a teacher or an adult.
Well, to be honest, I have never been cyberbullied before, and I am blessed for that. However, I do know people that have been cyberbullied, but I will not mention names. I can help stop cyberbullying by taking a screenshot of the cyberbullying, and report it. My favorite social site is Facebook. I also have Snapchat, Vine, Instagram, and Twitter. I have an iPhone 5c. Surprisingly, nobody monitors my posts, but never would I cyberbully someone. It's just cruel. I don't understand who would want to cyberbully. Does it make them seem cool? I just want to tell every cyberbully that it isn't going to get them anywhere in life.
There are bullies everywhere, and many of us think it needs to stop. Eventhough I have never been bullied before i know many that have, and it stinks. I am not going to say who because it would hurt their feelings if I told, then i would pretty much be bullying them if I told. We can stop this mess by showing the whole world of what could happen if that was you. I would say my favorite socila site is Instagram but I don't really use that much. I do not have snapchat anymore because of how the pictures could be 5 seconds then be gone and your parents wouldn't know so I had to delete it.
I would hate to be cyber bullied. I dont know what it feels like to be bullied that way. I knew somebody who was cyber bullied and she tried to commit suicide. She had did not succeed. You can help people who are cyber bullied by telling an adult or taking matters in your own hands. I have instagram and i have not noticed any ullying yet. Yes, i have an iphone 5c. My parents always check my phone for anything i shouldn't do or say.
Alright I think cyber-bulling is stupid because if you dont have anytthing nice to say then dont say nothing.People put mean things on youtube channles and you guys think they wont see it. People actully go though there to see new info on stuff they missed. People are so mean over stupid thing. I have never been bullied before but I know people that have and they say it sucks. It makes them feel sad and worthless. So if you are reading this and you have bullied befor find the person you bullied and say sorry it will make them happy.
I think cyber bullying is very bad and can hurt many people. Even though I have never been cyber bullied I know a few people that have. Although it is very bad there are many ways to stop it. One way you could stop it is by telling an adult. Another way is bye confronting the bully face to face because most cyber bullies will only bully you over technology. There are many other ways than that though. My favorite social media is probably Instagram. Even though my dad is says I am responsible he still monitors my post.

To start off, bullying needs to stop. Cyberbullying had to be the worst type right now. I know a couple of people that have been cyber bullied but not myself. I can't even imageine. I have all kinds of social media and I just can't imagine how embarassing that would be for everyone to see. Cyberbullying needs to stop all together. To stop it we need to have some type of monitors or something to scare the bullies. Why do people even bully anyway? Does it give them happiness by taking it from otheres? Does it give them humor? I just don't get it. With all of that said, I think this is a huge issue and it needs to be stopped.

I really don't think cyber bullying is cool. I personly have not been cyber bullied. I really would not be able to bare the feeling of being bullied. I do know someone who has been bullied but I'm not going to state their name. And whenever I went to their house or something they would always want to kill themselves but when it stopped that person was back to themselves So ways we can stop cyber bullying are if you are being cyber bullied screen shot it. Save it or something. Then you need to tell an adult or teacher. So if a person is bullying you, you need to report them.
i have never been cyber bullied but I have been bullied. I do know some people who have been bullied and cyber bullied. I think to stop it we all have to work together to prevent it. my mom moniters what sites im on and that type things.
I have been cyber bullied and bullied. I was told to kill myself on Instagram once but I ignored it. Kids think that putting others down can make them feel better about them selves but I still don't see how that works. I cant think of anyone right now that has but a lot of kids have and you just don't know about it. I have been bullied mutable times before and I'm going to be completely honest it does get annoying and hurt a tremendously and can lead to depressed, social anxiety and anxiety. I know because I have experienced these more than once a lot of people are like I'm against it but then they still go and do it just to make them happy! I a cant stressed enough but if your life is that pointless that you have to make fun of someone else to keep you busy then well can I just say there's something seriously wrong with you. I use Instagram, kik, etc and my parents monitor me on it all the time it is very annoying but I know there just trying to protect me.
I've never been bullied on a social website, but some of my friends have. We can stop this kind of harassment by reporting or blocking the bully or maybe confront the bully in person instead of being indirect with them. My favorite social media site is Instagram because a picture is worth a thousand words and photography is a way to see another person's perspective. My parents monitor my posts on Instagram and other social media. My parents also monitor my messages and phone in general. I think if you feel low enough to bully someone over a keyboard then obviously, you don't deserve your phone. This is why I don't like our generation. Most are selfish and some are always on their phones. It's so indirect that it's disgusting. Make an actual conversation in person. Read a book. Enjoy your environment. Do something other than being on your phone all the time. I think that's how we can prevent cyber bullying; by putting down the phones and actually taking in your surroundings.

I have never been bullied on a social website. Also, I don't know anyone who has been cyber bullied. Those who are being bullied can stop this by blocking or deleting this bully. Sometimes cyber bullying can involved multiple friends attacking one person behind a screen. If one of those "bullies" had a brain, then they'll tell all of them to stop. I don't really have any social websites accept for Instagram which I post art that I draw. I don't really use it, rarely I do. I'm not really into this whole technology stuff and I really don't care. Also I don't even have a phone, just an iPad. I have no use for a phone, I like to read. Maybe sometimes just getting off the internet for a few days can help. No one monitors my post since there's nothing to monitor. If you use a social media website just to contact a friend, then what is the point. What happened to the good old days where people met in person?
I have never been cyber bullied but I have been bullied. I have a handful of friends who have got bullied. And all of them say being bullied sucks. I know bulling suck not just because I have been bullied but, because everyone I know who has been bullied has told me how they fell about it. I think that if everyone who has ever been a bully was bullied they would see how it feels to be bullied. If they saw how it felt I think they would stop and say sorry to all the people they ever bullied wither it be physical or mental. There are many types of bullying. ~~~~~~~~~~Mekha~~~~~~~~~~Hussing~~~~~~~~~~
I have not been bullied on a social media site. Well I have had fights back and forth but nothing real serious. We always make up after a while. I do not know anyone who has been bullied I mean I'm sure there are people I know that have but none that have told me. If I knew that someone was being bullied I would stop it by telling a grown up. My favorite social media is probably Instagram. I also have a snapchat and vine. My mother monitors my everything she always say, "Don't put anything on there that you wouldn't want your parents to see." So I use my smart phone and my media sites responsibly.
Cyber bullying is an issue that is growing rapidly among younger people. I have never been cyber bullied, but I know many people who have. When this happens to people weather they are my close friends or not, I need to stand up and do something about it. Everyone else does too, if they are your friends or not, telling someone or stoping the bully is the right thing to do. My favorite social media site would be Instagram, because I think it is fun to share and see others pictures. I do have other social media sites like snapchat and vine. I have a smart phone and have to keep it open with my parents. My mother has an Instagram and watches what I do on a daily basis.
I actually have not been cyber bullied. I think that honestly people know how different people react and they know not to say stuff like that to me. I know a couple of people who have been cyber bullied, and it's awful. I think that some ways to prevent bullying of any sort would be to report it. You can report it to a teacher, other student, or a trusted adult. You can also block the people on the social sites, not blocking them and responding is giving them all of the power. I have a Vine and Instagram, people think that no one sees what they say about others so they comment and send all of these mean messages. My sister, mom, and other relatives follow me. People who cyber bully think that they can do anything and say anything they want, because they are sitting behind a keyboard and nothing will ever happen.
I have never been bullied on a social web site. I do not know anyone who has been bullied on a web site. I can't imagine what it feels like to be bullied. If you see anyone cyber bulling someone, you can show an adult. You can make the person feel better. My favorite social site is Instagram. You can keep up with your friends. I do not have a smart phone. My step-mom has an Instagram. She checks my Instagram to see if I said anything bad or if anyone says anything bad to me.

Despite not being cyberbullied, I can clearly see why people get very upset from it. The process of cyberbullying is pretty much like spewing insults at others directly, like, face-to-face! Plus, there is no point to it or regular bullying aside from giving the bully a reason to laugh at other's expense. If people don't want to be bullied, they should either respond to this person similar to how you would with regular bullies, like ignoring them or just tell them they shouldn't do that. Even though I do have a smart phone, I never use online chat websites such as Facebook or Instagram. In fact, cyberbullying is a big reason why I don't speak with other people on online games. If I could do something that would make people stop cyberbullying, it would be setting them up with another cyberbully to show what they were doing to others. Also, cyberbullying doesn't just affect people emotionally, it can also affect them physically, too! People have been known to cyberbully by blackmailing others, forcing them to get humiliated, and some cyberbullied people have even gone as far as suicide! This is possibly the worst cyberbullying can get, and I don't want it to get worse.
When it comes to cyber bullying, it has never personally happened to me before. I do know a lot of people who have. Cyber bullying is horrible. well, bullying in any form is not right. I have a friend who was cyber bullied. It made her feel horrible about her self and it hurt her feelings a lot. I think people who do bully other people for not being like them or being different, is because they try to make themselves feel better. I think to help stop someone from cyber bullying you, you should tell an adult who could help. They can be very helpful and could maybe put a stop to it. My people have tried to hurt themselves from being bullied, so this can be very dangerous. The social media app that is my favorite is instagram. That is probably the social media app I use the most, and yes I do have a smart phone. My family follow me on the app and also monitor everything I do on my phone and anything that happens on all my social media apps.

Even though I’ve never been cyber bullied, there are thousands of teens out there that have. Some of my friends have even been cyber bullied. One way to prevent this is to limit the amount of people you talk to on the internet. If you just talk to your friends you may be able to avoid the bullies. Another way to avoid cyber bullying is learning what and what not to do on social sites. My favorite social site would have to be either Instagram or Wattpad. I love those two because I get to share some of my personal interests with other people who like them too. Wattpad is great because I get to read and write stories, which is one of my favorite things to do. I do have a smart phone and I mainly use it for Instagram. My parents usually monitor my activity and posts on the social sites and they are always looking out for me.

I have not ever been cyberbullied. I have got into a lot of arguments online but it never turned into a name calling thing. I know people who have got cyberbullied. One of the cases of cyberbulling that I stepped into was pointless. The bully had no reason other than to make himself feel better. The bullies are coweredly and horrible. If you can put someone down to make yourself feel better you have problems. But getting involved helped them a lot. I did use instagram but my ipod broke so I decided that it wasn't worth my time so I stopped using it. My mom monitors my phone and used to monitor my instagram.

I have never been bullied on any social web sites and I hope it stays that way. I know several people who have been bullied. They were really embarrassed and mad this had happened to them. There are many ways to overcome a bully. You can stop harassment on these web sites by standing up for others and telling the bully to stop. It doesn't always help when you tell the bully to stop. Sometimes you just have to ignore them and continue with your life. My favorite social site is probably Instagram. I have a snapchat and vine too, but I mostly use Instagram. I have an Iphone 5s. My mom monitors over my posts all the time.
Cyberbullying is a problem on all social media or web sites. So far I have not been bullied on any type of websites or social media. We can stop harassment on sites by treating others nicely and treat others how you want to be treated. If we all could do this there would be no more cyberbullying. My favorite social site is Vine. I have a lot of social accounts like Instagram, Vine, Snapchat and Facebook. Before I post anything I check over and over again to see if I put anything that can hurt anyone in any way, if so I just delete whatever I was going to post.

I have never been bullied on social media before but there are lots of people out there that has been bullied on social media. Cyber bulling is a terrible thing that makes people feel bad about themselves. They start to feel like they are nothing or they don't belong. The people that do the bulling has probably been bullied before and they wanted other people to feel the same way they did. We can stop the harrassment by standing up for the person getting cyber bullied or we can tell a parent or a grown up. We can pick the person getting bullied up by talking to them so they can maybe feel better.
Well, this is gonna be a short one because I don’t really participate in online social media. I have sporadic accounts that I don’t use. The lack of usage isn’t for any particular reason, I just haven’t gotten “in” to it. So with that being said, I can’t really say much; but, it’s not as though I won’t say anything!
So, let’s see here. I have not been bullied on social media, and I also do not know anyone who has been. Truly the only way to stop harassment is to report it to the authorities and/or your parents. I do NOT have snapchat, but, that doesn’t bother me. I do not have vine either. The reason why is because I never really thought of making an account on either. I personally love twitter, because from my experience it is filled with some chirpy, good and funny people. Finally, my parents monitor all of my posts, including my phone and messaging.
I have never been personally cyber-bullied on any social website. I do know some people that have been bullied on a website. However, I believe that we all know someone that has been bullied on a website but they may not have shared this with anyone. I don’t believe we can completely eliminate any form of harassment. Cyber-bulling may be one of the most vicious forms of harassment because it is almost impossible to escape from it. Approximately four years ago Amanda Todd took her life as a result of cyber-bulling. Society in general needs to make sure that cyber-bulling at this level is stopped. It is a sad fact that Amanda’s death is only one of thousands of similar deaths. We might be able to take steps as an individual to eliminate smaller portions of cyber-bulling.

I don't recall ever being bullied online, however I do know people who have been bullied via social media. I think the best way to help stop harassment online is to simply stand up for your friends. Bullying is so much easier to overcome if you know that people still care about you. My favorite social site is Instagram or Twitter, since I use them the most often. The social media I use are Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. I have a smartphone, and no one really monitors my posts. However I know how much it hurts to be bullied so I would never think about Cyberbullying someone. I'm glad that this hasn't happened to me, and I will always try to stand up for those it is happening to.
I have never been bullied in a social website. Sometimes when me and my friends are kidding around, I could seem like we are bullying each other but we aren't. I do know someone that has got bullied on a social website, but the person that did it was suspended from school. To stop help this harassment, I can tell people to stop and quit when they bully people. Next time I see someone being bullied, I will step in and say stop. No one likes to be bullied so no one should do it. My favorite social site is Instagram and I do have a smart phone. Often when I am on social websites I do not see anyone getting bullied. No one does monitor my posts on these sites because my parents trust me enough with knowing who I am that I will not post anything bad or bully anyone. Also I know to that I will not bully anyone because words to hurt people.

Cyber bullying- the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature.
I have never been cyber bullied before, and I don’t personally know anyone who has. Many times, I’ll be joking with my friends and we’ll embarrass each other about a certain something we did, but we know each other enough to realize that whoever said it wasn’t being serious. That doesn’t mean that just because we’ve never experienced these things, that we’re too ignorant to notice them. Most people who are victim to cyber bullying, become self-conscious to the point of not knowing how to treat themselves. They become scared to tell people. The biggest problem is coping with the situation. You have to tell someone the whole story: who it concerns, what it’s about, when it started, where you were when it did, why it started and why you told, and how bad it has gotten. If you don’t tell, it may never stop or the bully will mentally trick you into doing something bad for your health, like suicides. No matter what, you have to stay strong, in control (of yourself and the situation), and learn from your pain. Sometimes, the bully bullies because it happened to them or they are trying to vent frustration but don’t know an effective way of doing so. They also need to tell someone so they can get the help they need. Don’t ever bully someone because you think it is fun. It’s a very serious problem in today’s generation, and we have enough cruel people to kill the rest of us.
“A little spark of kindness can put a colossal burst of sunshine into someone’s day,” simply means every nice act counts. You never know who could be cyber bullied, harrassed, or abused, so you should always respond kindly and send a smile to everyone you meet (or at least to everyone you think might need one.) Another quote that works is, “Be not inhospitable to strangers, lest they be angels in disguise.” You should be nice to everyone you meet, because everyone likes a hug or a smile whether they have a bad day or not. A really big way you can help a victim is if you know about it, to talk to them. Soon enough, the victim will trust your advice and seek guidance from a responsible adult.
I just recently got an iPhone and I know from experience not to “do something that might come back and bite you in the butt.” Yes, I have an Instagram, which is probably my favorite social media, to keep up with my friends and family and today’s society. My mother trusts me to not post inappropriate things, so she doesn’t monitor me on that, but if something does happen, she has friends who keep her updated. However, my mother does check my phone sometimes. She makes sure that I’m saying age-appropriate things and not talking to strangers. ~Karinna Fazenbaker 6&7
I have never been cyberbulled, but I do know a friend who was. One way to prevent cyberbullying is to be carful who you pick as a friend. Next have a parent monitor your social media accounts. Finally block all comunication with the bully. My favorit social site is youtube. I do not have snapchat, vine , or instagram. Yes, I have a smartphone and my parents do not need to monitor my social media because they believe im mature enough to not have to.

To start this off, I would like to quote a post I read some time ago. I believe it explains fully why cyber bullying hurts you so much and why when things are said to you online it hurts more than it does in person. This person said, and I am paraphrasing, that the reason mean comments hurt you so much is that, when you read them, you hear your own voice, not the attackers. That is the truth. When you read, don't you hear your own voice echoing inside of your head? That is the effect I am talking about here. I know many people, including myself, who have been bullied online. It DOES hurt, that is a fact. People are always saying that suicide is cowardly, and what I believe is that's not the case. Tormenting and torturing someone to the point where they take their own life and hiding behind a mask throughout all of it is what's truly cowardly. This study I found http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/cyberbullying-linked-suicides-rising-study-says-1.1213435
says that 23 cases of cyberbullying being one of the causes of suicides in the U.S. were found since 2003. 41 was the total of the U.K with 5, Australia with 6, and Canada with 4. The majority, it is clear, is in the U.S.A. And this study doesn't even cover the past two-and-two-thirds years. The biggest thing you can do is to think before you type. What if someone said that to you? What if you ended up causing someone to kill themselves? What if you went to jail for it? Yes, it is illegal, using the internet to bully. There is so much crap and so many rude people on the internet though, that I tend to stay off of it. It's better if I just do that instead of put up with all of the crappy people that think they know everything and are therefore superior to me and have the right to put me down. I don't like the internet much, but if I had to pick a favorite site it would be http://www.quotev.com/ because it is an out-of-the-way sort of site for authors and readers alike and you don't even have to interact with people. I used to have a Snapchat, but quickly deleted it along with my two Twitters and my Facebook. Well, I never use them anymore and I made them so that they are as bland as possible and no one can get ahold of me. I call that deleted. I do have a smartphone, one with an Instagram, but I have never posted a picture of myself on it, and never will. I tried that with the two I had and deleted prior to my making of the newest one. Too many mean comments were on there, and this new one I only use to look at photos other people post. And even that is a rare thing for me to do. I am the only monitor on my posts, but I am a very careful- okay I might be just a little paranoid (or quite a bit)- so I don't really need anyone else to monitor my activity. I have never used my real name online ever since I was ten years old and never once have I taken an inappropriate picture of me let alone put it online. The only pictures are those that relatives post of me on Facebook. But it is true when they say that adults just tell kids to "buck up and get over it, it's not that bad, just ignore it." It is never that simple. Social media follows us every day, and it's all around in our lives. There is no escaping this; trust me, I have tried. But the biggest thing you can do, is to think before you type, just as you think before you speak, and if you see cyberbullying happening then go to the police. It is illegal, and I pray that they will take you seriously enough to help you. It is a serious problem, and that best way to end it is to start with yourself and then spread outwards from there; but don't be self-righteous about it or else you are just adding to the problem.
Be mindful of how your actions reflect on you and how they affect other people.
I have been bullied on social media. So, I know how the words on a little six-inch screen can deeply hurt you. I think that anyone has been cyber bullied at one time. I think the reason someone bullies someone else is that you have something that they do not or just plain jealousy. For example, someone says that your mother is ugly. They say that because maybe they don’t get to see their mother often and are jealous of the relationship you have with your mother. So, if they can’t be happy their going to make your life miserable. I know that it sounds stupid but it how bullies work. My favorite social network is Instagram because a picture is worth a thousand words when you might only get 160 characters to write. My mom is my manager for all my social media and she mean business no nonsense allowed.

I have never been a victim of cyber bullying because I'm not allowed to have any social media. I have been bullied before and I know people who have been cyber bullied. Sometimes the people that are the bullies usually have something going on in their lives, like mentally or physically which makes then take it out on other people. The bullies might have low self esteem about themselves and take their issues on other people by saying hurtful things. The bullies might be getting abused at home or bullied by other kids and then they take it out physically towards other people. There are many ways that we can stop cyber bullying and any type of bullying. We can talk to the bully and see how they feel like if they any issues at home and tell them better ways that they can get over their emotions instead of taking it out on others. We need to help the victim because bullying can give you low self esteem and can make you think that your not worth it, you don't belong, or hurting yourself which is not good. I have a smart phone and I don't have any social media, but if I did I would defiantly be monitored 24/7. We need to start taking actions by standing up to the bullies and letting the victims know that they aren't alone.
I have never been cyber bullied before so I don't know what its like.I don't see the point in it.If you cyber bully then that is just messed up.The only thing it does for you is nothing.You might feel good about it but think how the person on the other end feels.
I have never been bullied or cyber bullied. I know a lot of people who have been bullied, and I know more people who have been cyber bullied. I find it sickening that some people have to make other people feel bad to make themselves feel good. I believe that most bullies have low self esteem or have problems at home, but there are many reasons as to why people are bullied. Yes, I have snapchat, instagram and vine. Yes, I have a smart phone. My favorite social network would probably have to be instagram. Both of my parents have accounts to watvh what I post and to see who I follow. M parents also check my phone to make sure I am not doing anything I shouldn't.
I don't like cyber bullying. I think if you have something to say you should say it to their face. It is a coward move to use a social media site to bully. I have never cyber bullied any one. If I have something to say I say it to their face. I have a Twitter witch I never get on and a face book. I only like it for the games. I don't have an Instagram or Snap Chat. I don't even know what Snap Chat is. I see the point in having five or six social medias. It is too much to deal with if you ask me.
I never cyber bullied before but seen it. It's pretty bad because when you say something to someone it makes a impact on them. Typing isn't the same as talking and you can't pick up on sarcasme or emotion just what you say. Over all no one should be treated like that nor the bully even though it's hard to believe. Usually bullies are victims to of bulling and cyber bulling. I don't have a snapchat but do have an Instagram. Also I never cyber bulled. My phone and stuff gets checked at random times by my parents. Also one of my favorite site is YouTube.
I have been cyber bullied before its not something you want to do. Its not a gooding to happen to you eather. i know someone who klled there self over this stuff. I have:snapchat,instagram,vies and other social media. My mom and dad don't know how to check on my stuuf but one of my mom's friends do. So my mom as her check whe nshe wants it checked. I do have a smart phone. It is a Iphone 5c. I hate people who say or do mean things to people.If you dont have anything niceto say don't say anything at all. I thik that people that have cyber bullied are wimps that are to scared to say it to the persons face.
I can remember when I had gone on an old website, that no longer runs anymore, that allowed you to make a virtual avatar that you can dress up and give a cool nickname. I loved playing on there everyday but it uncomfortable for me because of this one person who kept following and harassing me! I didn't know what to do about it at the time since I was only 7, but know I know what I should've done. On many sites, you can help stop the bullying by either reporting it to the site or telling a trusted adult. The only reason why people cyber bully is because they're too cowardly to even say it to that person's face! My favorite social site is Facebook because all of my family members have one and I can keep in touch. I have a Snapchat but I rarely even use it anymore. I constantly use my Vine and Instagram account, though. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3. I'm pretty sure that my posts are monitored by my family but I'm not fully sure.

I never bullied ever in my life but I have seen kids at this school been bullied. I think it is childish. It is for cowards. It is for people who are scared to say to their face. I would never let someone bully my friends. I would have their back and I know it is the same for me. My favorite social network is instagram. I like to keep up with things that are happening. If you bully someone most likely your bad karma is going back and hit you in the face. When i see someone get bullied i go help them or tell a teacher.
I have been cyber bullied before.It dosen't feel good to be bullied or cyber bullied,just think how many lives could be saved if we jjust stopped bullying,lots of kids that get bullied end up commiting suicide because people bully them.my cousins friend commited suicide because she was being bullied and my cousin was her bestfriend thats just one life that could've been saved imagine how many more could've been saved people don't think it hurts to get bullied but it DOES imagine gettting bullied day after day eventually you mjust give up because you think life is always gonna be like this,people dont think about things like youmwould be the last one to call them a name or talk to them they killed their self because of YOU.
I ever never been cyber bullied before. Bullying is for chumps no one on earth should be bullied people that bully other isnt cool and to stop this we should reach out to our peers.
I can say that I have never been cyber bullied, but I do not get on instagram or twitter much so I could not know for sure. I am pretty sure I have never been cyber bullied. I do know someone who has been bullied though . The one who was bullying the kid got caught and was suspended for I do not know how long. A way you could stop cyber bullying is having a guardian monitor your social media. I do have a instagram, twitter, Facebook, and snapchat, but I do not bully anyone with them.

No I have never been bullied on a social media site. Yes I have known people who got bullied on social media sites. You can go and tell an adult about it or just stop using the site for a while or block them. Instagram and tumbler are my favorite sites. Yes I have snap chat. Yes I have vine. Yes I have a smart phone. My parents monitor me on these sites.
I have never personally been cyberbullied. Though, I have a friend who was cyberbullied over snapchat. We can stop harrasment in a couple different ways. Blocking the harrasser is always a good idea. The bully will no longer be able to contact you through this site. You can also save proof of the bullying before it is deleted. After saving, show an adult. My favorite social site is Instagram. I also have a snapchat, vine, and kik. I have a smart phone, kindle, and iPad that contain all four apps.
I Have never personally bullied over the internet by anyone. I do know people who have been cyberbullied and its scary what people says because it really hurts that person and drains them mentally. My mom and dad raised me to where you should treat people how yoyu want to be treated.
