In the first article I read about cyber-bullying and how it isn't always the typical stereo type such as, it isn't always boy, girls are starting to become more violent. They are also saying that the reason you see more cyber bullying now-a-days is because there are so many social networks and that you can't always tell who's on the other side of the conversation. Also since its not face to face then you don't have to see what the other person is feeling and they don't see what you are feeling. Even if it is a joke the other person might not know, and they might be really hurt. You may never know what is going on in the other persons head. It is also easier because you can't see their face so it brings less mercy. In Virginia, the Board of Ed guidelines state that you can not sending mean, vulgar, or threatening messages or images.
In the other article I read about bullying in schools. The results of a survey showed that 25% of children in schools in America get bullied at least once a day. The States have been trying to address the issue in schools (which our school does very well). Some of the bullying has gotten so bad that kids as young as nine years old have committed suicide due to bullying. One of the lines in this article is ""the most damaging kind. ...It makes you say to yourself, 'there's something wrong with me,'"". Now that line makes you wonder what kids are trying to do and why are they bullying kids? is it because they got bullied or get bullied and need to get their anger out, or is it that they think that the kid isn't perfect. The one thing I have to say is that no one is perfect and they never will be. To one person they are perfect, to the next they aren't everyone has their own view.
Now to conclude no one should get bullied whether
its cyber-bullying or just face-to-face bullying. You should never pick on anyone for any reason whether they have a disability, or are different than you. You have no right to because what goes around comes around.
