2. The Truth!
• Before I begin the magnificent lecture on
cyber bulling we first have to know what it is.
So…what is it…. Cyber bullying is, (according
to Merriam-webster.com) the electronic
posting of mean-spirited messages about a
person (as a student) often done
anonymously.
3. How?
• As before, I can’t begin a life altering lecture if
I don’t know how cyber bullying is done. Here
is an example of cyber bulling: A student is
sent by anonymous threatening emails at
home, even though there is no direct bullying
at school. The victim has no idea who is
sending the messages and starts to feel like
everybody is against them. That student is
being cyberbullied.
4. THE ANSWERS!!!
• Ok lets think here. Before I tell you what to do
when being cyber bullied just think of the
EXTREMLY OBVIOUS ANSWER. Just turn it off.
If it’s a phone block there number or delete
every message without reading. If its online
block there posts or email address. Over all
just don’t read it. They can type it but you
don’t have to read it.
