Don’t be Mean Behind the Scene!
Everyone knows that cyberbullying is another form of bullying, either by a teacher or guardian. Most of us get bored after a while but over here is a true story that will probably make you understand how important cyber bullying is. This is a true story based on cyberbullying: A kid named Kevin sent a video of himself goofing around to his friend, Jose. Jose though that it was hilarious and posted it on the internet. Soon millions of people were watching the video. After a few days the video had many comments. Most of them were nasty saying such things as you are a fat nerd. A friend of Kevin realised what happened and went over to a teacher. The teacher went to Jose and had a talk. Kevin was devastated and this video made a scar in his life. This is why we need to stop cyber bullying.
I used to think that cyberbullying was exaggerated. The teachers gave long endless presentations on it many, many, many times. Soon my interest dropped in cyber bullying. Whenever we saw a presentation on cyberbullying I would get bored out of my mind. Until one day, when we were handed in a worksheet with the true story that I mentioned above. I found out that cyberbullying was a treacherous way of bullying. I also found out a good quote that a number of people say, “If you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say it on the internet.” Another thing that I learned was that cyberbullying hurts other people’s feeling and the bully who posts it is normally insecure of something which is why he/she is bullying someone else. I learned this because in one of my classes, we talked about cyber bullying. A classmate brought up this fact and we all decided that this is probably why the bully is bullying someone else.
This learning will change my thinking because now I know that kids all around the world are getting bullied by their best friend and their worst enemy - the internet. In the future if a kid is getting cyber bullied and I know, I will go to a teacher or even a guardian to comfort the victim and confront the bully. I hope that whoever is reading this will now realise and notice that cyberbullying is not a laughing matter and that if possible you (the reader) will help confront a bully and try to reduce cyberbullying as much as possible.
