The bill says they would be prosecuting individuals not groups so the results would not be enough to constitute the time they want the police and government to put into this issue. In source 1 paragraph 7 it states “Cyberbullying might seem somewhat trivial, as it only affects two people: the bully and the victim.” This shows how wasteful this would be, spending hours on one case of a kid who said someone was ugly and then taking up a judge’s time worrying about conviction. With this bill in place the police force’s time seems almost unvalued as you are making them worry about petty insults on the…
Cyberbullying is defined as the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature (“Cyberbullying”). As stated by an anonymous girl from Illinois, "It affected me for 3-4 years...would come home and just cry. It really hurt (Hinduja, Sameer and Justin Patchin).” That type of an effect on a person shouldn’t be ignored. One of the main reasons cyberbullying should be stopped is the fact that it’s real. Secondly, the effect it has on victims is terrible. Furthermore, it should be stopped for the sake of the victims. Cyberbullying needs to be deleted.…
Altough bullying is terrible, there are some things we can do about it. In “The Dark Side of Using Technology” by Del Siegle, Siegle explains how we can prevent cyber bullying. Siegle states, “The following tips should be shared with young people to prepare them if they encounter a bullying situation: The best response to a cyberbully is not to respond. It removes the bully’s power. Those who are bullied sometimes become bullies.…
There should be laws in place so that someone who commits these acts will know that it’s not okay to hurt someone in this manner, and that cyber bullying is serious and will not be taken lightly. The laws should be firm. Cyber bullying is not like telling a story or writing a book. It’s not about free speech. It’s about being fair to everyone. Individuals who commit these acts should receive fines, or maybe even some kind of detention or jail time for these types of offenses depending on the…
Some people may object to having laws that control the internet, but I think they may save someone’s life and keep cyber bullies offline, or at least off of social networks. I think my solutions would help make surfing the internet and being a part of social networks safer for everyone. Cyber bullying needs to be stopped because people should not have to feel unsafe or threatened online.…
Cyberbullying has had such a negative effect on people of all ages. It has lead to many fatal events, especially suicide. So many young people end their lives, because they have been bullied over the internet. According to CyberBullyHotline.com, "20% of kids cyberbullied think about suicide, and 1 in 10 attempt it" and "4500 kids commit suicide each year." Worst of all, the bully doesn't admit to his crime, and pretends like it never happened.…
The invention of the internet only made the explosion of information even faster. Teenagers put in on a blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram among others about anything, and have the information spread as fast as split seconds. This is how cyberbullying came up. “Cyberbullying is an increasing epidemic in our society and we, Americans can no longer wait a law to be a cure. A review of cyberbullying issues in light of American laws illustrates that the Supreme Court has been hesitant to approve law that will erode our Freedom of Speech rights” (McManimon). Cyberbullying is defined as a young person tormenting, threatening, harassing, or embarrassing another young person using the internet of other technologies, like cellphones, computers or etc. “Cyberbullying can lead to suicide. We are familiar with the stories about children and teenagers driven to desperate even suicidal acts after having been exposed to repeated harassment in cyberspace” (Foxman). Although the First Amendment protects Freedom of Speech, the government shall make stricter laws to prevent cyberbullying as it can destroy a person’s social life which can lead to suicide.…

Yes , cyberbullying from multiple perspectives , might be an over exaggerated problem , but people still need to pay close attention to it .

Bullies do not care how their decisions will affect others. Cyberbullying also allows a bully to feel more powerful. Through the use of technology, a cyberbully can easily and effortlessly unleash a torrent of torment at any time, all from the safe harbor of their own home, with little concern or…
I feel that limiting online speech that happens outside of school is an unnecessary punishment that school districts are forcing upon students. Looking at the survey of British school teachers it is said that 84.9% reported not being cyberbullied. The survey also tells if it affected the person and 38.6% of people had no effect. With this type of major percentage it is showing that cyberbullying is not a widespread problem schools are making out to be. I feel that over exaggerating cyberbullying will cause over exaggerating solutions.…
Hope your day is going well Hannah. I am contacting you regarding about our conversation we had the other day about the benefits and risks of teleworking. Let me first start off with your first initial question, what is teleworking. Teleworking enables a person to use their telephones, computers, and other communication devices to help them keep in contact with customers and colleagues. Furthermore, teleworking allows an employee to work from home while keeping in touch with the workplace to ensure communication is maintained between the two parties.…
Cyberbullying victims hardly come forward and face their attackers. Victims are scared to come forward for fear of retaliation, feeling ashamed and many other things. What they do not know or fail to understand is that victims are never responsible for what is happening. Everything that is being done about it now is most commonly because of an incident that has already happened. It is sad to say it but it is true. Like many other things it is often too late but better than never. The only time a case is hopeless is when nothing can be done and with bullying that should never happen. The cases of Amanda Todd, Phoebe Prince, Tyler Clementi and many more were easily preventable. Most bullies feel sorry after the truth of their torment is public…
Many kids have or are being cyberbullied today. Bullying is just the bully to the victim, but cyberbullying can have much wider audiences and can be a lot harder to ignore or avoid. With all of the new technology and social media sites, cyberbullying is becoming more common. This leads me to believe that individuals should be prosecuted for cyberbullying.…
Most people believe cyber bulling isn't a big deal, so they don't believe in fighting for the cause of deleting cyber bullying. However, it is as bad as physical bullying. It can also be the worst type of bulling. When you are physically bullied in public, there are people around to stand up for you. However, online, people are meaner because they are able to hide behind their computer screens miles away from you. They don't see how their actions affect you mentally, emotionally, and physically. Therefore, they sometimes are willing to bully you even harder than they would if they were physically bulling you. Because cyber bullying takes place on the internet, which makes the world around you much smaller, someone dedicated to bullying can convince others to bully one defenseless person.…
When a kid assaults a kid face to face with violent words or flames there's a good chance the kid would get punched which is why some people are scared to criticize others or make hateful comments to others face to face.When a kid tells someone about someone else it's anonymous the person who is being talked about has no idea their being talked about which is why people aren't scared to talk about people around their friends but sometimes the friend may tell the person what they said and that can make things heated.When a kid post something online about someone the person…
