Cyberbully
Cyberbullying is when a bully decides to threaten,
harass, or humiliate someone in messages through the Internet such as posting
photos of someone and making cruel comments, spreading rumors about someone
with text messages, signing in as someone else to hurt his or her reputation in
a chat room, re-sending and spreading emails to other people, and many more.
Cyber bullies do this because they’re angry and they don’t know how to control
it, or maybe because they’re bored. Another reason may be because they just
want to have fun, but that’s not funny, no matter how you do it.
The biggest problem with cyber bullying is the fact
that is easy to do. You can send messages hurting other people without anyone
knowing it was you.
What to do?
1. Tell someone: Speak up until you find someone who can help you with
this problem. The best one is your parents. You can talk too with your guidance
counselor, if you’re too afraid to talk to your parents.
2. Walk Away: Knowing that you can step away from the computer or
turn off your phone allows you to keep things in perspective and focusing on
good things in life. Ignoring your bullies is the best way to take away their
powers.
3. Report it to the service provider: Socially sites takes it seriously when people bully
hurt another person or when they make a fake account. If someone is bothering
you just block it or report it to the service provider.
4. Save evidence of the bully if you can: It can help you prove your case, if needed.
5. And, Be Safe Online: Protect your password. Think before you post something
personal that you don’t want the world to see. Remember, when you posted
something, you can’t deny it and you can’t delete it.

and be nice. You’ll never know when you’re the next victim.
