Cyber Bullying

Bullying is just plain MEAN. it should be gotten rid of, especially online. There are more options online. People like the internet controllers should put up bans on those people. And what happened to the bad internet controls?

I'm not sure cyber bullying will dominate bullying in the future but, having been a victim of it myself, realise it is a huge problem. When someone is being cyber bullied the internet can feel like a very small place. However may times you block someone it doesn't take long before they set up new email addresses and begin the bullying again. My situation ended up with me deleting all my profiles on various sites and eventually taking police advice on it as I had unknowingly given this person my address. Fortunately, once she knew I had contacted the police the bullying stopped. I think it is something that should be taken more seriously.

Bullying is never okay wherever it happens. On the internet you can at least shut down the computer or leave the forum/message board/group/website, where you are being bullied but it isn't nice if you have to leave somewhere because of it. In the future it probably will dominate as there are a helluva lot of people who are brave when they're on a computer, that wouldn't have the guts to bully someone in person.
