Re: Bullying/Cyber Bullying Awarness
Posted: February 11th, 2015, 9:11 pm[quote="Tsuki"][quote="Nicholas"]^ My point is that cyber-bullying is less worser than real life bullying. But please, do tell.[/quote]
I personally think the former is worse as more often than not you don't know who is doing the bullying and sometimes it can become so severe that the victim ends their life. At least with RL bullying you know who the bully is and sometimes it can be resolved with the police, teachers or mums. The problem with the internet is that people can hide their true selves. And therefore it can become a lot harder to prosecute someone. Yes I suppose you could say "Well can't you find out the persons IP or history or whatever" but then the "cyber bully" could turn round and say "No I was hacked. That wasn't me". Cyber Bullying is A LOT harder to sort out than RL bullying.
I suggest you watch Cyber Bully with Maisie Williams in it. It really hits home about Cyber Bullying. It's more than just people trolling. I suggest you do your research

That may be, but that still doesn't change my mind. Imagine this, you're about 8 or 7 years old and you can't even be a regular kid and go outside to play soccer for example, without being harrassed by kids who are not only alot bigger, but also alot older, about 15 or 16 years old. Things like that can ruin a part of your childhood an no type of cyber-bullying can be equal to that IMO. And as I've said, internet bullies can be blocked or ignored. It is easier to deal with because you can just leave from whatever website it is, while in real life, you can't really avoid it if it affects your daily life.

Yeah, I didn't realize at first how bad the internet and Facebook was full of trash till the point where I just couldn't take it anymore, that's when I realized the big picture, and got so sick of it, never again will I be doing what i did on Facebook, learned my lesson on that, I just wish i new sooner. it all makes sense now, heck you could say I didn't know any better back then, now I do and im more smarter about it, because well, im a member here now, where people here are just the opposite.
