Cyberbullying and Social Media

Cyber Bullying now and Bullying in the past
Social media makes cyber bullying really easy because now a days parents don't really monitor there kids on social media and someone might have bullied them. Along time ago when there was not as much technology and social media no one cyber bullied. The bully would actually get up to the person and bully them. I think that way is easier for the parents to find our because the person would for example come home from school and tell there parents.
Cyber Bullying Do's and don'ts
There are no do's or don'ts that has to do with cyber bullying! Cyber bullying is bad thing to so on so many levels. No one should even be cyberbully. If you are thinking of being mean to someone online, first think of the consequences that will happen when you do it.
What to do
What do you do when someone cyberbullies you? Well, the #1 thing you should do is talk to a adult that you know you can trust (ex. teacher or parents) about what is happening. Then they would try to do something about it. If that doesn't work and the bully is still bullying you, block them. That is the good thing about social media, you can block somebody or take them off your contact list. Then the bully will have no way to cyberbully you unless they have the nerve to get up and bully you in front of your face, not in front of a screen. When someone bullies you right in front of you it is easier to make them stop then when they are bullying you in front of a screen because in front of screen you might not even know the person.
#1 Tip
Do NOT cyberbully
