Blogpost 2: "Cyber bullying"

Cyber-bullying is one of the most common cyber-crime to occur in the internet. Millions of citizens experienced this kind of internet crime. The experienced bashing, curses, heard a lot of swearing and they received a lot of bad words from their co-citizens. The cyber-bullying crime should be stopped and here in the Philippines, we implemented a Cyber-crime Law that limits things up.


People who experienced cyber-bullying undergone mental disorders as they had a trauma of receiving extreme hates from people they know that bashed them publicly in the internet. In my opinion, being cyber-bullied is very hard as you are humiliated in front of your friends and in front of strangers as well.


In the article Warily, Schools watch students on the internet, written by Somini Sengupta says that they are watching children in the internet. For me, it is a very practical way of observing the students' lifestyle on the internet.

The next article I've read about cyber-bullying is Students warn peers about cyber-bullying by Dawn Turner Rice from www.articles.chicagotribune.com. She said that."There are still kids who don't know that this is a big deal (cyber-bullying)," she said. "I have a younger brother, and I'm constantly telling him not to add anybody on Facebook he doesn't know or put anything up there that he doesn't want people to see. It lasts forever and it can either hurt you or come back to haunt you."  

With these, I can say that cyber-bullying is deliberate and aggressive, but it is important to recognize that some incidents of cyber bullying are known to be unintentional and the result of simply not thinking about the consequences. What may be sent as a joke, may not be received as one, and indeed the distance that technology allows in communication means the sender may not see the impact of the message on the receiver. There is also less opportunity for either party to resolve any misunderstanding or to feel empathy. It is important that pupils are made aware of the effects of their actions.

For me, this quotes means that before doing cyber-bullying, if you have something mean to say, look in the mirror & say it to yourself. Maybe you'll think twice.
