cyberbullying
After our discussion on Monday about cyberbullying, I went online and found an article that gives step by step how to respond to cyberbullying. http://www.growingwireless.com/be-aware/cyberbullying?gclid=CLiGzrPWirsCFYl9OgodK2gAdg. One of the big things the article focused on how to respond to cyberbullying, was educating the parents. They suggest the parents get more knowledge about social networks. Before giving your child permission to join a social network, the suggest that you figure out how to block and protect your child from bully's. As I think this was a good idea, with good intentions, I however think a bully may not be who a parent would suspect. Often times parents are unaware that bully's can actually be one of your child's friends or someone you thought was your child's friend. Cyberbullying is seen more with technology becoming bigger. I think cyberbullying is something that needs to be taken seriously and if your child says someone is bullying them on the internet, take care of the problem immediately.

I think cyberbullying is one of the forms of bullying that gives you the most control. It also leaves the most evidence to track bullies. Words hurt just as bad as physical pain but in most cases of cyberbullying, the victim has the choice of allowing themselves to reading what is being said about them. I like this website because it gives tips on on how to protect yourself from cyberbullies. Sexting has become a huge thing so I'm glad it had a seperate section for that. Having an open relationship with your child is important to me because it allows for communication and finding out what's going on in your child's life so that if they are being bullied you can take the steps to end it.
