Teens Take to Social Media to Bully Others

In Mary’s blog there is a video of a girl getting bullied on Facebook by someone she doesn’t even know. I think that the post and should be an eyeopener to people and that they should stand up for themselves against the people who are bullying them. Mary goes on to say “I believe that if we all stand up against bullying we can make a difference.” I agree with her, because cyberbullying isn’t a joke, a lot of people are getting bullied online, and some can’t seem to handle all the derogatory remarks they are receiving so they commit suicide. It’s sad to know that people my age are getting harassed and are receiving hate for being themselves. I for one am against cyberbullying, because I know how it feels to be bullied online, and there really isn’t a nice way to put it other than that it sucks to be bullied. At the end of the video there is a quote saying “Stay strong and keep your head up.” We all could use a little boost by someone in order to have the courage to overcome bullying. There are a lot of ways to deal with bullying, and inflicting self harm on yourself isn’t an option. I think a person could over come cyberbullying by deactivating their social media account or reporting the person that is bullying them. Keep strong and sometimes ignoring a cyberbully would make them stop bullying you.
