What did you think of the assembly about cyberbullying we saw? What do we consider cyberbullying? What would you suggest as an appropriate punishment for cyberbullying? Any other comments.The assembly that resurfaced an old topic among everybody that left the cafeteria that morning was cyberbullying. It had been a problem in the past and had continued on til now. But hardly anybody had expected it to actually become as serious and fluent as to make adults have to come on stage and give a whole presentation on it.
So to review what "cyber bullying" is, as the man said - its bullying on the internet! People like to bully others when they see them as persons weaker than themselves and want to provoke them to either get attention, feel mightier, pass time, "try it out", or sometimes even just for fun. Of course we all know or have heard about what bullying to feel higher or getting is, right? As for bullying for fun is mostly among friends that just play around and is usually harmless. But this is because they know that the other is just joking. Yet, when people bully others with the intentions of hurting them, it is not fun. Not for the victim, and neither for the bully (which they might realize later on in life, and things like that... you know). Of course this is all what happens in the real world. What happens in the virtual one, is a little different. As you all know - or might know - cyber bullying is when a person puts up harmful things up on the internet to push down another person whom they might not like. For example: If A did not like B, and A put up a blog or a website dedicated totally on crushing B; A's actions would be labelled under 'cyberbullying'.
However, had A talked with B face-to-face, and even if (s/he had said a few harsh words to B), it wouldn't be cyber bullying of course, right; because it's not on the net where everybody can view the insults or what ever.
Cyberbullying can get you suspended, or even expelled (depending on how far the inappropriate... -ness is). It can cause a huge amount of trouble for a lot of people and it is really not necessary nor worth it. Bullying online can neither hide you nor protect you from punishment. And just recently, bullying has been added to the school board's list of... bad things. So the consequences of your actions (if you have bullied another, that is) can be really severe. For example: do you really think insulting someone is worth losing your credibility to join school (that - you might not care - but will actually help your future)?
So basically, cyberbullying is a form of bullying that can hurt just as much as bullying face-to-face because in addition to insults and harm, it adds in embarassment and humiliation in front of who knows how many people. THEREFORE!! ...Don't bully people! ...okay? ^__^ "
