Cyber Bullying Video

Previously I had had basic knowledge about the topic of cyber bullying but had no idea that tit was to such an extreme extent. In the video it speaks of the many issues that have developed because of the arrival of the Internet. Our generation is learning to communicate and interact using this new tool. The video states that even though parents may not be as knowledgeable about computers as we are, they should have at least a basic idea. Computers should be kept in public places so that if we go on a site that is inappropriate they are able to help. This also helps in ensuring that the parent is aware if their child is being cyber bullied and hopefully makes the child more likely to tell the parent if they are. It also spoke about internet etiquette and stated that because parents do not know this way of communication very well, they find it hard to teach us how to behave properly online. The videos also spoke of people who trick people, mostly teenage girls, into exposing dirty pictures of themselves and then using them as blackmail to do worse things. Cyber bullying like these can lead to the mental break downs or in some cases the suicides of the victims involved and should be stopped immediately. It is a horrible and immoral thing to do and cannot be tolerated. If there are any cases of cyber bullying they should be reported to the local police immediately or reported on supported websites.
