Before & After: Bullying PSA

Before: Cyberbu//ying Stupid, ugly, horrible, loser, good for nothing… the list could go on for horrible words the bullies use to pick on someone. They could say a lot of mean or hurtful words, especially at school or even on the internet. Yes, on the computer! And that’s a huge problem called cyber-bullying! "Cyber-bullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking. Adult cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking is NEVER called cyber-bullying. If You don’t believe me, and think that I’m just making this up, then go to, http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/what_is_cyberbullying_exactly.html for the exact definition. Cyber-Bullying happens to everyone in the world. Even I have been cyber-bullied before. About 42% of kids, teens, and sometimes adults have been bullied online. And about 21% of them have received mean or even threatening email messages. And about half of them commit suicide due to all the pressure. If Cyber-bullying ever comes across you then you should do something about it. If someone sends you a horrible message then the right thing to do, number one on the list is tell an adult. Tell someone you trust like a parent or guardian, a teacher, the school counselor, or even a professional. They can help you a lot. Another thing you should do is report them. How? Well when you go to a website like facebook, twitter, or youtube; there is usually a report button on the top, middle, or even the bottom of the page. Sometimes you have to look in the profile. Easy ways to stop them! When you get bullied online, there are some things you shouldn’t do. You should never write back! If you do then they will keep on going and they wont stop. Okay, so if you don’t write back that doesn’t mean just sit there and do nothing. If you don’t do anything while it’s happening than they will continue. And the most common thing of all is suicide. If you kill yourself then we know why you did it and it does give a huge warning to never do that. But you don’t have to kill yourself. All you have to do is do what I said before and nobody gets hurt! Cyber-bullying is a huge problem around the world’ Especially with teenagers. Don’t let that happen to you! Talk to your child or friend about cyber-bullying; or even bullying in general. No one deserves to feel the pain. And for all the bullies out there, be careful what you say, write, or type. Because you can really hurt that person and make them do bad things. [The 3nd] After: Bullying Online & In General Hey stupid, Good for nothing loser, ugly cow, retard, moron, horrible little... The list goes on. Bullying has been going on for years. From saying words, to depression, to fist fights, and even death. There are a million ways how kids at a very young age or teenagers get hurt. We should do something about it now before it gets out of hand. Bullying is a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people. [dictionary.com] In other words, it's a person who thinks he/she can do what ever they want. They call you names, they beat you up, they gossip about you, pull pranks on you, bully you online, and just find ways to make your life a living hell. There is another type of bullying that is more, "modern". It's call Cyber-bullying. "Cyber-bullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking. Adult cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking is NEVER called cyber-bullying. If You don’t believe me, and think that I’m just making this up, then go to, http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/what_is_cyberbullying_exactly.html for the exact definition. A lot of people have been bullied or even been a victim of bullying. About 42% of children and teens have been bullied online. 35% have been threatened online. Many of those committed suicide. It's sad to know all of this is happening, and we don't do much about it. The thing that I don't understand is that they know that they are getting bothered, but they do all the wrong things or just don't do anything at all. If that's going on, you don't solve it by committing suicide. You have to live, you were here for a reason. There some helpful ways you can stop the issue without hurting yourself or not telling anyone. Number One: The action that everyone should to, tell and adult. Your parents give you helpful advice. You an also ask your school counselor. He/She give helpful advice and they can even do something about it. Your teachers are also there. And if it's really that bad then you can ask a professional. Number Two: If your having Cyber-Bullying issues then you can block them. Usually there will be a block user button and even a unfriend button next to it. If you click that button than you will never hear from them again. Number Three: Another thing you can do is ignore them. They want you to respond and try to defend yourself, like that they can have something to do. If you don't say anything at all, then they'll get bored and give up. I know people who have been bullied and hated it. Even an amazing athlete named Tori Allen has been bullied in High School. She never told anyone, not even her parents. Bullies called her names and she used to eat lunch in the bathroom by herself. But the others never really got to know her. If they did then there friend will be a rock climbing champ from the X games. She may have been called a loser in high school. But her fans call her a winner. Bullying is a major problem around the world. Especially in American Schools. We should accept other people no matter how different they are. Just because your bigger than them, doesn't give you a right to get whatever you want. And if your smaller than your enemy, you have to be the bigger person. Do what's right instead of making it worse. Stop bullying and speak up. The End
