Cyberbullying

After watching the video the general thing happening here is that more and more kids are using the internet to say hateful things about other kids for pretty much all to see. They do this is a multiple of ways. Some ways include stealing a password and acting as the person you want to hurt. They also are using blogs to degrade and attack other kids and get other kids to see that as well. They feel that posting things online is not as bad as saying to the person directly. I feel like this is very sad that kids are doing this to other kids because it can get very dangerous. Kids need to know that they should not give out their passwords to anyone and contact an adult if they are feeling like they are being attack so they can figure out what to do and not let the kids just get in deeper danger. By trying to handle the situation themselves. Even though most kids do not want this I think that parents should really be aware of the things their kids are doing online. Not peering over their shoulder but by having a relationship with their children where they feel safe going to their parents when they are having problems like this with other students.
