"It's one thing when you get made fun of at school, but to be bullied in your own home via your computer is a disgusting thing for someone to do and I think anyone who gets kicks out of it is disgusting. It makes me feel badly about myself. It makes me wonder how people can be so rude and disrespectful of others and makes me lose faith in the human race. It decreases my self esteem and I often wonder what I did to make someone treat me that way." (16 year-old girl from Alabama) Cyber- Bullying
Definition • The electronic posting of mean spirited messages about a person (student), often done anonymously by their peers. -The first known use of this was Word 2000. -Webster Dictionary
"I think that it is not right and that people need to have respect for other people as in the saying treat others how you would like to be treated. The people that do bully people just want to show off how much bigger and cooler they think they are. Bullying isn't just threatening or any thing else, it is spreading rumors and like sending mean messages with threats in them.”(11 year-old girl from Tennessee) Overview
