Notes
· Cyberbullying has become a major issue in the last few years with social networking sites like Facebook mainly with girls.
· Cyberbullying is becoming worse than in-school bullying and there is no way to escape or hide from it since it is all over the Internet.
· People that cyberbully feel as if they can post whatever they want as much as they want about a person without the victim fighting back.
· Cyberbullying can have more negative effects than direct bullying in school like depression and even suicide, which there have been two cases of it this year.
· Bullying behavior is caused by the bully wanting to hurt the victim or just wants to control everything he or she can.
· There are many types of bullies depending on the person or group’s intent.
· The most prominent type of cyberbullying is when the conversation starts out as teasing but then evolves into bad words that can affect someone’s emotional state.
· The one thing is odd about cyberbullying is that anyone could be a victim since the bully could target anyone at any time.
· If you are being bullied, report it to a trusted adult or teacher at school, and the situation will eventually get better.
· “If you don’t know who the bully is, make sure your network is made up only of your true friends.” (Lundsten, pg.4)
· “Bullying is repeated and relentless and is meant to humiliate and demean you.” (Lundsten, pg.4)
· There are many forms of cyberbullying, including hurtful comments, threatening texts, and private pictures.
