    The Flip Side To Internet Fame Analysis

    Real life bullying, or traditional bullying, is exactly like our story of Johnny and Billy. It’s a face to face encounter that usually entails physical, verbal and emotional violence that is generally one sided. A warning sign that someone is being bullied, for example, is if Billy came home from school one day with a bloody nose or a black eye. Cyber bullying never involves physical abuse because as the name states, it occurs over the Internet. The common method people use to cyber bully others is anonymously posting things about a person whether it is hurtful words or an embarrassing picture or video. Cyber bullying is especially bad because the recipient of the bullying is exposed to anyone that wants to see it because anyone with an account can view what is going on. In traditional bullying, the bullied is “only” embarrassed in front of the audience that is there to witness it occurring, saying only as if it isn’t bad enough. Therefore, cyber bullying is very embarrassing and arguably worse than traditional bullying. “Once unsavory information is posted, it’s almost impossible to retrieve,” says Bennett. This is sadly the truth; once someone posts something about Billy it is going to be on the Internet forever, and when someone Google searches his name that post is very likely to pop up. Cyber bullying is a very popular because it can be done so anonymously and usually…

    Cyberbullying In Canada

    While school-yard bullying has remained ever-present in society, the concept of cyber bullying has increased in steam within the last few years. Cyber bullying occurs when someone harasses someone else on social media, through text-messages, or through any other technology based medium. The unfortunate reality is that 8% of Canadian teens claim to be the victims of cyber bullying, and 35% say they have seen hateful comments about someone online. Cyberbullying is very unique in nature, as the very act is sometimes caused by the aggressor being bullied by other students themselves, and the effects, other than becoming a bully, are the detrimental impacts on the victim’s mental health.…

    Cyberbully Should Be Watched In Language Arts

    Cyberbully shows that what people say can hurt others. If someone says something hurtful to someone else, it can cause issues like depression. People can get depressed by something someone else teases because it can really hurt their feelings. In this movie people were calling the main character, Taylor, names that were hurting her feelings. When someone gets bullied, they can become insecure about themselves. If someone is getting bullied about something like the freckles on their face, they can become insecure about those things and try to cover up the freckles or whatever it is. Being bullied can also cause someone to develop anxiety issues. Being bullied everyday and having people laughing about it can make someone so scared to mess up or look bad. Taylor was scared to go to school during all of this because she was scared of being bullied more. They will come to…

    Cyber Bullying

    It was 7:00 a.m., and Skylar rose out of his bed just like any other day. He got dressed, combed his hair, brushed his teeth, grabbed a pop tart and was out the door. Skylar is in the eighth grade and he has been bullied since fourth. Chris Jacobson has picked on him with his “gang” for the past four years. They tease him about his braces, the way he wears his clothes, being too skinny, and anything they can think of. On top of that, Skylar has suffered depression since his father’s sudden death when he was 10. One day, Skylar decided to get MSN messenger so he could contact his cousins, that live out of state, anytime he pleased. His mother gave him permission and he was very happy. Skylar got a friend request the day after he made it from someone named LizGirl6. He accepted and she immediately wrote “Hi, you look familiar.” He replied by asking if she went to his school and how she found him. “Elizabeth” did not go to his school, but was supposedly a friend of his older sisters. They continued to talk day, after day, after day. Skylar was feeling more confident at school, his grades were rising, and Chris was not messing with him as much as usual. Elizabeth was giving Skylar the respect he finally deserved. One night he decided he wanted to tell Elizabeth how he felt about her. He logged on MSN, saw that she was on and wrote her a message saying, “Elizabeth, I really like you and I want to meet you and hangout so that maybe we can become more than friends.” She replied, “Skylar I don’t like you, your fat and ugly.” Skylar took this hard and replied with questions like “Why were you leading me on?” and “Are you really serious?” Elizabeth wrote that he was a no good loser, he had no friends, he would never be able to get a girl, and that he was a useless piece of crap that no one cared about. The last thing Elizabeth said was, “You should go die, just like your father did.” Then she signed off. Skylar got up, ran to…
