Cyberbullying is an issue that not many people talk about. The case described a situation where a young girl was being cyber bullied and a website was created making fun of her and photos of her on other peoples bodies. This is real issue that happens everyday but there isn’t always something done about it. Is it sometimes hard to find out the people actually doing to bullying when it is anonymous. This is a problem today because there are so many young kids online now and you can’t control or see what they are doing all the time.
I don’t have much experience with cyberbullying but there are several movies about the issue and the real effects it has on people. It is important to talk about this in school because school is where a lot of bullying starts. Schools don’t always get involved with cyberbullying because it happens outside of school and online. We need to teach students about what can happen to kids who get cyber bullied and how it can affect them personally and mentally.
STOPit is a tool used to help stop bullying. It is an anonymous way to report bullying and help others. This is relevant to elementary school kids because this is the age where a lot of kids start to get bullied. Not a lot of children this young normally have social media but it is becoming more common in society today. This tool can be incorporated into schools by giving a lesson on what cyberbullying is and how you can help stop it.
