Preventing Cyberbullying

With media being a huge part of everyone's life it brings about new outcomes of how it impacts individuals. One unfortunate thing is how bullying has taken a new approach through cyberbullying. The horrible thing about cyberbullying is for some people it is hard to escape in the sense that on technology someone can be invading someone and tearing them down constantly 24/7, compared to it only being at school. The other negative thing about cyberbullying is sometimes people are more likely to be extremely nasty when they can hide behind an internet mask and when they don't see tangibly how they are hurting someone on the other end. Through social media, cyberbullying can be more public, but this can also be a plus in the sense that more people will hopefully recognize it and put a stop to it. It is important as a community to support those who are being cyberbullied in any form, and to put a stop to cyberbullying. This can be through blocking the account of the cyberbully or making it known to the administration what is occurring if that can be done. We also must remember that people online are real people who care, and should be careful we don't become ensnared in being a cyberbully ourselves. We should be a light of Christ unto others and share love.
