Cyberbullying

I think that the concept of cyberbullying is quite foreign to my age group because we did not have to technology that is available now that we did at a younger age. It also seems that cyberbulling is something that is more difficult to stop because there are multiple ways to disguise one's true identity one the internet or through a text. I also think hat cyberbullying takes a greater tole on the people who are victims because the individuals doing it have free range to say whatever they want because the likelihood that they will be caught decreases.

This link describes the various ways that one should react to cyberbulllying and how to prevent it all together. Some of the advice it gives is to not respond to whoever is gong it and to block them. The only problem is that there are few people who are able to ignore the fact that they are being bullying and there are ways for cyberbullies to get around the act of being blocked. I think that the advances in technology are the main culprit for this occurrence.
