Cyberbullying

I think cyberbullying should be handled in several ways. One way that they should handle it would be to suspend the person who was doing the bullying. They can also put the person in internal suspension ( IS ). Another way to handle this is to send the person to a program that deals with cyberbullying. At the program hopefully the person will understand how negative and evil this actually is. Another way to handle it can be to make the person apologize to the victim.
 The majority of the blame is toward the bully. I make this statement because if the bully never started this conflict, this wouldn't be a problem. The bully is the one that made the conflict public, so yes majority of the blame is towards them. In some cases it may or may not be the bullies fault. I say that because sometimes the bully is hurting and lets their anger out on the person who hurt them. So in my opinion, the majority of the blame is on the bully.
  I believe 75% of the responsibility is what the person should bear from the consequences. I think that in some cases it isn't always the bullies fault. The reason they get 75% of the responsibility is because they should have never sent or posted out cruel or humiliating things in the first place. I give the victim 25% of the responsibility because if they would have never shown pictures or videos or any important secrets no one would know and probably wouldn't have done anything about it if they had no idea about it.
 Cyberbullying can be prevented by never saying or spreading anything through technology that you'd never say in person. You can also prevent cyberbullying by deleting what has been posted or sent online or in a text. Another thing you can do is make a hard copy of what has been sent or posted and tell someone that may help you. You may also block the person from having any communications with you. Another way to prevent it is to never in any case give out passwords or user names to ANYONE unless they're your parents. My last way to prevent cyberbullying would be to not be involved with cyberbullying.

Cyber-bullying

 One of the biggest problems that the world is facing today is cyber bullying. Cyber-bullying is a very popular form of bullying. This happens between peers, families, and close friends. Cyber bullying is when a person has posted or texted rude messages, pictures or videos of someone as well as spreading numerous terrible rumors. This is usually used to embarrass or humiliate someone. This is one of the top ways that people bully others. 'Many schools are now in a difficult position of having to respond to a mandate to have a cyberbullying policy, without much guidance from the state about the circumstances under which they can (or must) respond'. Quoted by cyberbullying.us. Just recently, a freshmen at Rutgers University by the name of Tyler committed suicide over cyber bullying. A video was posted of him being sexually active with a male. His roommate decided to post the video and later on it lead to Tyler's death.
   Some things that have been done to correct the problem of cyber bullying would be that many schools have created programs to stop this cause. Also people have made many websites to let people aware of what it is and how they can put an end to it. A website that is trying to stop this problem would be "Stopcyberbullying.org". Many schools have made videos on how it can effect someone and how it is far from a positive thing. Also to stop this problem you can tell an adult or someone that you're close to.
   One of my personal recommendations would be to either delete whatever has been posted or sent to you or print it out and tell someone. You can also forward the message or what has been sent to you over to a website that may deal with cyber bullying. If it is through email or social networking sites you are capable of blocking that person from having any way of communicating with you. Another way to solve it is to stick up for whomever is being bullied, that may sometimes scare the bully off. Another way to stop it is to not be a cyber bully yourself. Never do or say anything that you would never say in person. Another consideration that I have would be to get someone famous like Oprah and make a program to end the problem of cyberbullying. Also be very wise online never give out passwords or important information to someone you dont know.
