What do you think about cyber bullying?

Question

Do you think cyber bullying can just be easily fixed by just shutting off the computer/phone/social media/etc ? Or do you think cyber bullying is something that's real and can be hard to get out of? Share any experiences?

Answer

Cyber-bullying, at least for school age people, is much deeper than just walking away from the Internet. It won't stop the bully from posting things that gets them ridiculed at school. Sometimes, yes, the simple answer is remove yourself from the situation, but it's not a all-encompassing solution.

Answer

It's because people are hiding behind a screen. half the shit they say on social media and such they would never say directly to that person face. A lot of people have big balls until they are contronted.

Answer

Cyber bullying is very real and it is horrible. I'm constantly dealing with it and families are in absolute denial as to what their students are doing in some cases.  It's pretty awful what kids will post about each other.  It's also shocking to hear parents defend it as "free speech" and get frustrated when their child is suspended for posting threats or suggesting that another student should hurt themselves.  It's just appalling.

Answer

It's not simple to just turn it off and walk away. People who say that obviously haven't ever been cyber bullied. I got cyber bullied in 10th grade. Cheerleaders in my high school made a Facebook status about me and everyone was saying how I should kill myself and how I look like the monster from the hills have eyes. It got to the point where I had actually slit my wrist so bad I had to go to the hospital and was put on suicide watch. I have anxiety and depression since that happened. I wanted myself dead so much. I blocked them all and deleted my social media and they would always pass me in the halls calling me a hoe (I had lost my virginity to my boyfriend and I guess people thought I was a hoe. Well the kid actually fucked my best friend the next day.) so it's not just "turn off the computer and walk away" it's so much more than that. It gets to you, especially with someone who has depression and anxiety.

Answer

It is very real. Children- high school kids it's not that easy. It's kids they go to school with and even if the computer is shut off its still there for everyone to read most of the time.

Adults- I had some crazy bitch post on Facebook a few years ago who dedicated a status to me with my name tagged & everything saying she was going to "gut me like a fish, slash my tires & stomp my ass out" (because she didn't like me laughing in her face when she tried to taunt a good friend of mine at a bar, therefore publically minimizing her "bad bitchness" &embarrassing her is why she posted that)

Just printed that sucker off, took it to the cops, they took care of her. 😘 I loved the apology I received. It wouldn't be a issue if there were stronger repercussions.

Answer

like Tyler The Creator says, put your phone down. walk away from thw computer. pretty simple.

Answer

I don't get offended by much, if I don't like something (a post or such) I tend to just keep scrolling but even having tough skin there are some bullies on here that are horrible.

Answer

I hope one day people who cyberbully would be held accountable, say if someone died. Its sad. Maybe one day.
