I learned that cyber-bullying can be worse than bulling. I think we should stop cyber bullying and any other kind of bullying. I also learned that when people are getting bullied they don’t want help because they are scared that if they tell people the person who is bullying them will get in trouble and bully them even more. But if anyone is getting bullied or feel like they are getting bullied they should get help before it gets worse.
I agree with aidhan because people think cyber-bullying is like a joke but it is the same as saying it to their face. When you get text or emails saying rude things or getting threats it feel worse than people doing it to your face because you know that lots of people are doing it to you and you feel like nobody likes you. If you get threats that is on a whole other level than bullying because when you get something like that you don’t feel safe or you feel like you will get hurt or even die if you tell anyone.
I agree with Aidhan and Yannik about cyber-bullying. Some people mean it to be a joke, but it can really hurt when the person receiving it doesn’t understand.
I agree with Aidhan, cyber-bullying is worse then bullying. Because its on the internet, a lot more people know about it. Plus if you learn about it you don’t know who’s doing it to you, so you can’t tell anyone even if you’d want to. Cyber-Bullying is worse then regular bullying because it can also hurt more people, and thats not fair, fun or nice.
Adding on to Lindsay, I think that cyber bullying is worse then normal bullying because sometimes you don’t know who it is. You could be hanging out with the culprit and they could be secretly getting information from you and anonymously posting it online. Also, sometimes words hurt more than being in a fight would hurt because you could have thought that they were your friends.
Cyber-bullying is worse because you don’t know who that person is so it can be creepy and scary. Plus if they get information about you you can get even more freaked out. and if you find out that it is your friend it will really hurt your feelings.
I agree with Cole but still disagree, I do not think Cyber-bullying is worse then normal bullying because when somebody is Cyber-bullying you they can’t physically hurt you but when you are being bullied they can physically hurt you and, often do.
I think it is worst then regular bullying because is someone makes a website about him everyone on the internet will see. But if they said that to his face only he would know not the whole school.
I agree with cole because when you are being Cyber-bullied information can speed really far in a very short amount of time. Another reason that I agree with Cole is that it can be scary because you have no idea who it is that is bullying you and it could even be someone that you are friends with and you would not even know it.
I think cyber bullying is way worse because if you are getting scary emails and you don’t know who they are from you can get really worried and wonder if those things will actually happen. Also cyber bullying is worse because you might not be able to stand up because you might not know the email address.
I also agree with Lindsay and Aidhan because so many people can see it. If you have no idea who it is that your looking on the internet, you could see it, think its funny, and then tell your friends and then even if they have no idea who you are, they’re still cyber bulling you.
I agree with Lindsay because not everything is private on the internet. Also when someone texts you in all capitals, they could be really excited about something, or they could be mad. You might not know their tone.
I agree with Gwen if someone texts something to you you might think that they are trying to be mean because you do not know their tone and that could brake up a friendship.
I agree with Lindsay
I feel really bad for Joe. I think the worst part about it is that he can’t trust anyone and he doesn’t want to tell anyone. I also think that a really bad part of it is that everyone is a bystander because they don’t want to get on Kim’s bad side and they don’t want her to do it to them, but they do feel bad for him. I think it would take real guts to stand up for him even though it may effect you. And even though Kim thinks that it’s funny, someone should tell her that she’s actually hurting his feelings.
I think that Kim knows and doesn’t care that she is hurting someone’s feelings.
I agree with Caleb and Georgia. Kim is getting everyone on her side and really hurting Joe’s feelings. She made it so bad that Joe felt like he couldn’t trust anyone anymore. When everyone was on Kim’s side, they all got in trouble even though they were only doing it to stay on Kim’s good side.
I agree with you guys, Kim just thinks about herself and doesn’t care if she is putting anyone down. As long as it isn’t her.
I agree with Georga. I also think that some people think that its ok and that they wont get caught. Or maybe they just think that their actions online dont effect them in real life.
I agree with Georgia. Feeling like you can’t trust anyone is a really bad feeling to have. It’s like in the movies with popular girls and if you get on their bad side or stand up for the victim, you are kicked out of the group. I can’t imagine being in a situation like this. No one deserves to get bullied, and it’s sad that people do. I can’t think of a reason why Kim would think doing something like this to someone is in any way funny. What did Joe ever do to Kim to deserve this?
I agree with Caroline like she said nobody deserves to be bullied. Some bullies don’t want to be a silent kid they want to “rule the school”
I don’t want to sound strange or mean when I say this, but honestly cyber bullying seems way easier to solve than physical bullying. I understand that is hard to live with, but it really doesn’t compare to physical bullying. I really disagree with Aidhan and Lindsay, because really, although everyone sees what is online, you can get rid of it fast. I feel like the only real danger in cyber bullying is what it causes others to think of you, and what you think of yourself. It’s only the idea that’s scary, but in reality it’s literally just digital insults. They may hurt your feelings, but it’s possible stop it easily.
I think that cyber bullying if really bad. Just like physical bullying. I think that they are both very bad. When it comes to physical they can hurt you very bad. But for cyber bulling they can show the whole world and hurt also really bad. I think that it could be hard for fighting bad when it comes to physical bullying because they can be very strong. But for cyber bulling you can call the website to make it stop. So I think that they are both equally bad and that no one at all should do it.
I agree with Cate. They both have an equal amount amount of cons. The problem with regular bullying is that once it’s out there, you can’t take it back. Depending on what kind of cyber bullying you are doing, sometimes you can take it back, but people still saw it. Cyber bullying seems easier. You cyber bully anywhere that you have you phone, but you can’t bully someone if people are watching. But i think that the fact that cyber bullying is so easy prompts people to do it. Still, people shouldn’t do either of them, no matter how easy they are.
I agree with Cate. I don’t think that anyone should do it, but if someone’s cyberbullying and the person who is being cyberbullied doesn’t act right away, it COULD rewin someone’s life. Most likely not, but it could. Eiter way, no one should do it. It’s really mean and bad!
I think that this game is very accurate with all the friends because I would react the same way if I were in there shoes
I finally understand why cyber bullying hurts just as much as normal bullying. The rude comments people say about you could hurt your feelings just as much as them saying this in real life, maybe even more. Not knowing the person who said something mean to you and them putting up a site about you is the worse. That’s because you can’t even tell a teacher or a parent because you have no evidence and you don’t you don’t know who to blame.
I agree with spencer the game was a good result of what can happen to other people. And when people get bullied like that they can be afraid to tell the teachers because they might scared that the bully will do something bad again. Cyberbullying is horrible it can make people hate their lives.
I learned that cyber-bullying and real bullying are equally as terrible. I understood why Joe felt that way, I wouldn’t trust anyone either. But the thing I would dod differently is i would tell my mom right away. Playing a joke like that is not okay, I could tell it really could hurt someones feelings.
I think cyberbullying is worse than bullying because sometimes you don’t know who did it to you and you can’t tell a teacher because you don’t know who it was. It can also spread faster and almost anybody can find it even people you don’t know.
I think that Cyber bullying is worse than bullying because it can spread very fast. It is just as hurt full as really bullying and just because you don’t write your name, it doesn’t mean that you can’t be found. Like at the end of the video, the police officer came to talk to Kim.
I think cyber bullying is worse because anyone can see it and you cant shut it down. Also its hard to stop.
cyber bullying is worse because if it’s a private text than you might not want to tell anyone due to threats, or worse. It puts you in a sticky situaton.
With cyber bullies, they believe they can get away with more bad actions because no one will know. This is true so that is why cyber bullying is so bad. If you noticed in the game, pretty much waterer you did, joe was still in great distress. he did not know no one that was on his side because everyone was against him because o’ peer pressure. Me not sure why joe complain though because wifth regular ole’ bullying, you could get injured or killed, so it good in the way that you can no be hurt no physical. But with online bulling, you could be so de’ pressed, that you want to hurt of kill yourself.
Cyber bulling is something that I think everyone has to take part in trying to stop. I think there are a few people even at our school who THINK they’re being cyber bullied. There are a lot of things that I think kids are afraid to talk about, one of those things is Cyber bullying. People should keep trying to make people aware of what’s happening to kids all over the world and then we can all try to prevent it together.
