                                                          Cyber Bullying


            Before reading this passage I didn't really know the effects of cyber bullying because I was never effected by it. What I did know was that bullying in general is bad and nobody should be bullied. While reading this passage I learned that cyber bullying is the same as bullying someone face to face except that cyber bullying is done through the internet. Kids and adults of all ages are now using the internet as a way to bully someone else without having to wait till they see them. Cyber bullying can happen at any time and any place which makes it hard to avoid. Megan Meier a 13 year old student hanged herself because of cyber bullying. After reading this passage I still want to know about what the federal and state governments are doing to prevent cyber bullying from happening. I also want to know what are schools doing to prevent it because cyber bullying spreads fast and especially through internet. Cyber bullying is something that shouldn't be taken lightly and I feel that everyone should do their part in trying to stop cyber bullying all together because bullies are everywhere and it only takes a push of a button to start post something bad about another person.
