PLN: Week 2 -Post 4 bullies.

I read the article,"Stop Cyber bulling Day", from The Fischbowl, by Karl Fisch. The article was a student made video that was talking about standing up for yourself and telling someone you’re being bullied.


I've personally never been cyber bullied and I don't know of any close friends who have but I've heard about it so much I know it’s a big deal. I also remember reading an article in seventeen magazine and the story was about an girl who was cyber bullied to death, after being harassed so much she committed suicide she had been told there was no point to her life so much that she started to believe it. Most stories about cyber bullying the bullies don't even have a reason, or it's just that they want to make themselves feel better because they have a low self esteem. But that like seriously sucks, that the bully doesn’t even have enough confidence in yourself that you would have to bully someone else.

I really believe that taking a stand for yourself and speaking up when you’re getting bullied is huge! I mean sometimes it might be hard but there’s many different ways like telling a friend who will understand and take you to get help. I guess that i dont fully understand what’s happening with these people when they say there to afraid to tell someone. I mean it would be different if you were being threatened but if you weren’t I dont really see it a big deal these bullies are probably to afraid to even talk to you in person so would they really have the guts to come hurt you?
