Cyber Bullying Preventions

Cyber bullying is a serious problem for this generation. With access to technology so easily obtainable someone somewhere is being cyber bullied right now. Many people find it easier to make fun of someone then to just be nice to them and now that you can type up a rude comment while sitting in the comfort of your living room its even easier for a bully to work up the courage to do something they probably wouldn’t in person. Cyber bullying can’t just be ended and won’t just end because mean people won’t change. Cyber bullying can be prevented though. You can prevent cyber bullying directly by not participating in the social media websites that people are so commonly bullied on, so if you are someone that doesn’t want to get bullied simply don’t give the bully the opportunity to do so. Cyber bullying could also be slowed down by having an age restriction on social media websites because more mature people are less likely to bully someone because they don’t care about bringing someone down to pick themselves up. Another way to prevent the onslaught of bullies on social media websites is by having a type of anti-cyber-bully protection system on certain websites. This protection system could automatically read users posts or comments and if it picks up on someone bashing another person they could ban that bully’s account for a certain period of time. I feel this would be affective because it would rid the internet of the bullies which would then allow the people who use social media websites the right way to enjoy using those websites. I could go on and on about ways to prevent cyber bullying but the only way to handle it is for mankind to change for the better and be nice to each other because bullying is a pointless and rude form of fun.
