At the end of school last week all the students were called into an assembly to learn about one thing: cyber bully. At first when I heard the term
cyber bully I giggled to myself. "How can anyone be mean on the internet?" I said out loud to myself. My experiences on the internet has always been a happy and peaceful one. The thought of
bullies like Scut Farkus on the
internet just didn't make sense to me! But then, ironically, I learned some things at school...
Most cyber bullies are middle school girls.
Your worst nightmare.Apparently most cyber bullies are little girls. This, of course, is hard to believe mostly due to the fact that there
are no girls on the internet. Regardless, if you're being trolled hard or just plain bullied, there's probably a 12 year old girl on the other end of the keyboard. The ratio of male to females on SBboard are 5:1. The ratio of good people to bullies on SBboard are also 5:1.
There is something non-specifically illegal about cyber bullying.
The fuzz busting a cyber bully.The guy with glasses at the seminar didn't exactly say what was illegal about cyber bullying or what the punishments were, but either way if you're a bully you're a criminal. There was over 8 billion arrests last year for the crime of cyber bullying. That's 2 billion more than the total world population. Were you arrested last year?
Cyber bullying causes death in all cases.
A dead animal.Listen to this story that I was once told: a girl was texting while driving got hit by a car and died. This is unrelated, but was still told to me as a reason not to cyber bully.
Remember: Cyber bullying is a sin?
