14. Creative Solution #1
• A creative solution that could help people that are being cyber
bullied and improving the experience of the internet would be
trying to make the internet a more enjoyable place to be, by
filling it with love and not hate.
• The idea is to outnumber the bullies with people that do the
opposite of a bully, helping each other out and post positive
comments in order to boost your mood and victims of this
problem.
• According to Luke Gilkerson in his online article ,The New
Solution to Cyberbullying: Cyberpraise, he states that
‘’Cyberbullying is scarily easy to cultivate, and has even driven
some teens to suicide. But just as a single negative comment
can do irreparable damage to someone, so can a single
positive comment bolster someone’s self esteem.’’

15. Pros of Creative Solution #1
• According to Chandra Johnson in her online article , ‘’a British
medical journal, found that positive content, like heartwarming
pet videos, has a “contagion” effect online and often go viral.’’
• This solution would reduce suicide rates and self-harming, making
the internet a better place, improving the self-esteem of people
that are being bullied, and making people feel that they are not
alone in this world.
• The Mayo Clinic reports a number of health benefits associated
with optimism, including a reduced risk of death from
cardiovascular problems, less depression, and an increased
lifespan (Cherry, Web).

16. Cons of Creative Solution #1
• Faking compliments in order to help someone would make the
problem even worse
• Fake compliments do more harm than good. It can cause delusions
and more embarrassment (SAS, Web).
• If the love doesn't reach out to everyone. The people that are left
out would feel unwanted and less special than everyone else.

17. Creative Solution #2
• Another creative solution against
cyber bullying is an app created at
Clemson University that scans photos,
videos, and social media data to
recognize signs of bullying.
• The app alerts the victims, parents,
and school administration,
recognizing where and when an act of
bullying is occurring.

18. PROS & CONS
•PROS
• The solution would benefit everyone, it would teach the
bully not to abuse other people.
• Provides total visibility to stop bullying in its tracks.
• Helps the parent to be aware of the problem, so they can
offer a solution.
•CONS
• It is not accessible for everyone and for all social medias.
• The app may encounter bugs due to false scanning,
• Cyber bullies could find a way to avoid being scanned by the
app.

19. Making the Parents Aware of the Problem
• By making the parents aware of the problem the solution can be
controlled in a bigger scale than just creating apps and campaigns
against bullying.

20. Teaching
• If we can learn how to
stop cyberbullying
then we must be able
to teach other people
how to do it.

21. Working together and making stronger Bonds
• It is a tough job for parent to do it alone.
• By creating better boundaries and improving their
communication with their group family the problem
would easier to detect.
• If the communication is good, even brothers can work
together to stop cyberbullying.
• By educating the parents, the parents could easily
help their kids and advise them on how to stop the
cyberbullying.

22. Having Extra Sources and Tools
• If parents are not the best source to fix the
problem.
• Institutes and schools should offer free
help for those people that are troubling
and need help.
• Also the use of technology could help to fix
the problem, as many people have been
trying to create apps that help to fight
against the bullying.
