Cyberbullying is a huge problem and has cause the lives of many students. Cyber bullying is unnecessary and shouldn’t be happening. The fact that someone has nothing better to do that bully another poor student because of the way they look or act, is wrong.
How can you look at a person and want to bully them? Does typing on a keyboard make you feel better because you won’t do it in person? Are you convinced that what is sent on the internet has no consequences?
When typing the words “nobody likes you,” and “you should die,” do you think of the actions your words have on the receiver of the message? Most likely not….. words hurt. The meaning behind those words can be the reason many are sitting in funeral homes crying, the last message telling a girl exactly how to kill herself and that nobody would miss her. Apparently, many will miss her and the tears cried are because of the pain of her being gone.
Next time you send a message telling someone to kill themselves or that nobody will miss them please think, would you want to be the one receiving that message? Would you be hurt too, be called names?
Think of it this way too, if your sister, brother, or cousin was the one getting the horrible messages you were sending and they died, how would you feel? The cyberbullying gives the illusion that if you’re on the internet it doesn’t matter and it’s not real because you don’t see the person and you’re not really hurting them, that typed words don’t hurt people, the words someone types can hurt way more than what someone says verbally.
