I found this site while doing research on my narrative paper, thought it was interesting and appalling... Take a look..
More Cyberbullying on Facebook, Social Sites than Rest of Web
What happened to good ole days were bullies were in your face throughout the school punking you for your 2.50 lunch money..... Technological advances have now enabled bullies to reach their victims without even being physically present. One think this would have some sort of advantage, but sadly it's almost worst. I feel like kids get any even false idea of confidence when they can bully from afar but there isn't that immediate retaliation they have to worry about. Sadly, the outcomes these days or horrifying to think about. Whenever I have kids I dont want to have to worry that if they get teased so much to the point that they will contemplate or even worse commit suicide. It's a scary thought but this the reality of how far kids are taken on the stress and torture they are living through every day.
I have a little sister in high school and she showed me Facebook pages her fellow classmates have dedicated to certain groups of people like "the hoes" "the ugly girls" "the easy ones" etc....though it seems funny to someone who didnt make the list I was outraged that this was found on a social site designed to bring people closer, not torment individuals. Its very upsetting, but, what can you do....
ponders in thought...
