CyberBullying

CyberBullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person.
It's basically online threats or flames rude texts, IMs, or just regular messages count. So does posting personal information or videos designed to hurt or embarrass someone else.
What i think cyberbullying really is, is arguing over the computer, making public websites with photos of the person their bullying. Putting up naked photos of the person your angry with at the moment.
Some consequences of cyberbullying are extremely serious. More and more schools and after schools programs are creating systems to respond to cyberbullying. Schools may kick bullies off sports teams or suspend them from school. Some types of cyberbullying may violate school codes or even break anti-discrimination or sexual harassment laws, so a bully may face serious legal trouble.
What i think the consequences should be for cyberbullies is immediate suspension maybe even getting expelled because cyberbullying shouldn't be tolerated at all.
The reason people start to engage in cyberbullying is because it makes them feel better, a lot of kids these days don't have the strength to say what they have to say to their enemies face so what they do is get on the computer which makes the situation worse and they begin to talk a lot of gibberish and they begin to make threats , and send disrespectful text messages etc it just makes the situation worse.
The way i feel about cyberbullying is upset, i hate the fact that kids and even grown folks get on the computer and do foul things and cyberbully kids or other adults it's extremely childish and ignorant and i don't think it should be tolerated at all.
Do You?
