I think cyber bullying is a problem because people are getting more and more mean as society begins to change, If one of my friends came to be that is getting cyberbullied I would tell them to tell an adult and go to the school board about it. If a cyber bully came at me I would just block them or ignore them.

ReplyDeleteI think cyberbullying is such a problem in schools and society today because people want control, they want to be in the upper chain in the society or school. Advice I would give is don't take it personally because they are just trying to look big and bad and tell an adult as soon as possible and never ever fight back physically or through words. Becoming the bully is not the solution. Ways to shut down a bully is by ignoring them and hold your head held high when your in school. Don't say one word to the bully, he deserves notihing from you. Another way you can "shut down" a bully is by telling an adult or a police officer, or maybe even start a petition throughout the school about cyberbullying.
ReplyDeleteI think cyber bullying is such a problem in schools and society today because children/kids/teens dont stick up for themselves, although so may, other do nothing about it and get controlled unbelievable! If i had a friends who was being cyber bullied I would tell them to ignore it, its the best thing to do. When you feed into it, they keep harassing you. One of the easiest ways to shut down a cyber bully is to not awknowledge them one bit.
ReplyDeletei think cyber bully is a problem because alot of people are getting hurt and it wont stop and there getting meaner so they should just block them and forget that they exsists
ReplyDeleteCyberbullying is a problem because kids are not getting enough attention at home and being raised wrong. I would tell a friend to ignore it. You can stop a bully by blocking them, or to ignore them.
ReplyDelete1. I believe that cyberbullying is a such a problem because people are too scared to say something to someones face and in reality are the ones with true problems. For some reason people allow themselves to be bullied online which is ridiculous because its a computer and obviously these people have nothing better to do. They should be the ones who are bullied, not anyone else.
ReplyDelete2. If i had a friend that was being cyberbullied i would probably tell them to stop being such a baby about it and forget what those people say because they are all punks and internet trolls.
3. Just delete the user as a friend (Why would you have them as a friend to begin with?). Just ignore them and/or tell a parent or trusted adult.
I think cyber bullying is such a big problem in our society because people could be going through tough times and being bullied is just something else someone has to worry about.If a friend of mine was bullied i would contact an adult and tell them whats going on. Ways to shut down a cyber bully could be blocking them or ignoring them.
ReplyDeletei think it is such a problem now days because all of the technology people have makes it easy to update their status or "blog" about something are "tweet" about something. And alot of people think just because their doing it over the internet that its not so bad. Some advice I would give to a friend that is bing cyberbullied is to block the person, dont respond to the person or person(s), and tell a trusted adult as soon as possible. Some ways to "shut down" a cyberbully is to ignore the person, is to not say negative things back to the person, and report that person on that social networking site that you are using suere they can get their account shut down.
ReplyDeletei think cyber bullying is a rather large issue that we have on the internet. everyday kids are cyber bullied and its not fun.
ReplyDeletesome advice i would give to someone who is being cyber bullied is to block the sender or treport them.
some ways to 'shut down' cyber bullying is to tell cyber bullies to stop and its not cool
With Todays technolagy almost everyone has access to a device with internet. To many kids are getting hurt by cyberr bullies and i think they should make more laws against it.
ReplyDelete1. I think cyberbullying is a major issue in schools and society today because of the lack of precautions our society takes against cyberbullies.
ReplyDelete2.If I had a friend who was being cyberbullied, I would tell them that they need to get help right away before they do something that could harm themselves or others
3. One way you could 'shut down' a cyberbully would be to kill them with kindness. Another way would be to block the bully so they couldn't send you any more mean messages.
1. I think it is such a big problem because many people think itis okay to harrass and make fun of other people for no reason, adn it's an even bigger problem becuase there has been suicides and some people dopn't like to tell anyone, they just keep it to thereselves.
ReplyDelete2.I would tell them to report it to an adult, basically jsut tell your parent, but if it continues i'd handleit mroe seriously.
3. You could always say something back, butthen again that makes them mad, and they can spread mroe rumors and talk about you more. You cna also shut them down reportign their account or even deleting yours.
I think it is a huge problem and it is growing every day more and more people do this daily. Many kids do it to feel good or in power but that is not how it really works.
ReplyDeleteI would tell them to tell an adult and get help if they need it. Also i would let them know i am there for them. Help them find a support group to guide them through what is going on.
you can tell them no this is niot what you want. You can block them oline and print out the evidence of what is going on. Also i would try to help others go aganist the bulllie to shut them down in public and tell them to stop. :)
Cyberbullying is one of the biggest leading causes to every teen. There have been millions who Cyberbully and even more Cyberbullied. The person being bullied feels like their the only ones being Cyberbullied but it happens to alot of people. The person Cyberbullying should think to their selves what if that is me being Cyberbullied.
ReplyDeleteI think cyber bullying is a very big problem in schools today becuase it goes on so much. Almost everyone has been or has bullied someone. Now that we have so much technology it is even worse becuase you don't have to see the face of the person you're bullying, you feel unstoppable.
ReplyDeleteThe advice I would give to someone getting cyber bullied would be; block the bullying, on almost any website you can block, or report someone that way they can't see your account or make fun of you on there anymore. Then I would tell them just to ignore it or if it was really bad I would suggest to tell an adult.
You have to show people and have proof that they are cyber bulling you, that way people are aware of it. Then you report them on whatever website they have been bullying you on that way there is a chance the account could get deleted.
I think that cyberbullying is such a problem in schools today because some kids need to feel like they have controll over other people. Also it is easy to make fun of people online because it dosen't always feel like your actualy talking to someone. If a friend of mine was being cyberbullied I would tell them to block the sender and deleat the account or save what they said and tell an aldult that can help the problem. Ways that you can 'shut down' a cyber bully are to block them or tell adults that can take care of the situation and make the cyber bully stop.
ReplyDeleteBecuase some kids dont know when to stop and they do it to get attention or to make themselves feel better.
ReplyDeleteTo tell an adult about the situation. Also tell them to stand up to the buly face to face.
Tell them what you think of everything there doing and shut down you account.I f you shut down your account thy wont be able to write stuff on you account. Also if your going to tell them how you feel do it face to face and in front of people so everyone can see what they've done and how it can affect people when they bully.
I think cyberbullying is such a big problem in schools and the society today because students want to feel noticed quickly and want people to agree with what their opinions are. People cyberbully so they can feel as if they have control over a person and are looked up to by others.
ReplyDeleteIf one of my friends was being cyberbullied, I would advise them to talk to a parent or the principal and get help as quick as possible. I would also tell my friend to not reply back to any of the comments and, instead, print them out or save them.
Ways to shut down a cyberbully would be to aware people in your school about what cyberbullying is and what harm it does. This can spread awareness and stop or prevent people from becoming cyberbullies. Also, to stop cyberbullying, we can stand up for the victims of cyberbullying and go from bystanders to defenders.
I think cyber bullying is such a problem in our society today because it's the newest, fastest, and most efficent way to bully somone. Since it's over the computer, you don't have to say it face to face. That appeals to bullies and they believe they won't get in trouble from cyber bullying compared to bullying in person. Also, everybody can see it. If you throw a mean comment at someone in person, only the people around them will hear. But if you say it on the internet, everybody can see.
ReplyDeleteIf your getting cyber bullied, you should tell someone. Preferably your parents, or teachers. Someone you can trust, so you won't be so alone. Stand up for yourself and try to face your problem instead of running away.
If you want to stop a cyber bully, I would recommend to ignore them at first. If they don't get a reaction out of you, they won't want to bully you anymore. If that doesn't work, bring it up with your parents and school.
I believe that cyberbullying is a big problem for a few reasons. One cuberbullying is widespread. Two cyberbullying is dificult to control. And three cyberbullying follows you home. If a friend of mine was being cyberbullied and asked me for advice I would tell him to report it to a trustworthy adult and to print out what the bullie says. You could also try to "shut down" the cyberbullie by confronting him or her in public with confidence to humiliate the bullie
ReplyDeleteCyber bullying is such a problem in schools today because almost every teen has internet access, and people feel like they can do whatever they want to over the internet. One reason why it is such a problem in schools is because it is mostly teens that cyber bully. Today’s society is so advanced that is why almost everyone has access to the internet.
ReplyDeleteIf i knew a friend that was being cyber-bullied i would tell them to tell an adult, or block the bully, if that doesn't work then I would tell an adult that they know, if they are too scared to tell one. I would also keep a close eye on the friend because you never know what a person is capable of doing until they do it.
To shut down cyber-bullying we all need to stand up. When cyber-bullying happens tell an adult, if you know someone who is cyber-bullying tell them to stop, try and explain how a cyber-bully victim feels. Get the word out before it is too late somewhere. Some places don't put a law in effect until someone commits suicide or a school shooting. Which is safer? End the thing before it happens or after the worst has happened?
I think that cyber bulling is such a huge problem in society today is foundation. Kids at home were not raised the same way that children were raised 40 years ago. Most kids are not taught to keep your mouth closed if you have nothing nice to say so there for kids say what every they first think without thinking about how the other person will feel about what was just said. Also that parents can’t always find out what was said, or do not know the internet well enough to find out what their child is doing and saying on the internet. So then the child thinks, hay mom or dad can’t see this so I can’t get in trouble. I think that if one of my friends were being cyber bullied I would tell them to first save all the conversation and comments the bully said about them. Also to contact police and tell their parents about the incident. And lastly they might need counseling and talk about what happened with someone. Honestly I don’t think that there is a way to “shut down “cyber bulling it’s like stealing, it will always be there. But kids they can just keep their comments to them self and there is no need to tell someone that they have bad clothing or whatever.
ReplyDelete1. Cyber bullying is a problem in schools and society today because of the growing knowledge of technology users. Most cyber bullies know how to use the Internet and social networking sites, which gives them an advantage over other users with limited knowledge. Cyber-attacks usually come in the form of hacking, rumor spreading, and/or lying on the Internet. As more people gain the knowledge needed to do these things, more cyber bullying will occur.
ReplyDelete2. The advice I would give to a friend who is being cyber-bullied is to print out all the evidence. Each nasty remark, inappropriate picture, or mean status appears, is proof of an attack. Also, I would have them tell their parents or trusted adult so that they don’t have to go through it by themselves.
3. To "shut down" a cyber bully, I would show them that what they're doing doesn't bother me and that it's wrong. Also, I would use facts from other cyber-bullying incidents to prove my point.
