What is cyberbullying?

As the number of people increase social media usage, the danger of cyber-bullying rises. But what is cyber-bullying and how do we properly punish the people that do it?

Many teens have there own communication when it comes to their friends. To an outsider of a group, it may seem like a particular person might be getting cyber-bullied. Many of these possible false reports are caused by a parent or family member that does not understand the communication style they have with their friends.

The way I think that cyber-bullying should be handled is loosely but if there is a person that truly needs help and is not defending themselves. This is so there are less false reports by others hat don't understand the context of the conversations. Basically, if a person is being repetitively bullied online and they are not sticking up for themselves then ask the person if they think they are getting bullied. Depending on what they think is happening to them, proceed in a manner that may help them.

I think they should also help the person that is bullying the other person. this is because they are more then likely going though some troubles in their lives.

There is always a way out of the cyber-bullying cycle. It starts with getting someone involved if you feel like it is happening to you. and if it does not stop then get the police involved.

The children's parents should be teaching their kid right from wrong. But schools should still teach all of the students what is right and wrong to say online.

Following those tips and some others mentioned in the video, we can create a safe place for children to go online. But this will take the cooperation of all the parents, students and teachers to make this right.
