What is Cyber Bullying?

Have you ever heard someone use the words “Cyber Bullying” before? Well, unfortunately it is something that in this day and age we can not avoid. Everyone knows what bullying means and well, cyber bullying is something that is done on the internet. It basically means to bully someone through social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) in hopes of putting someone down, without having to do it face to face. A lot of times the bully may not know the damaging effects of Cyber bullying on the victims. Just because you don’t say something to someone face to face doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt that persons feelings. You wouldn’t want someone calling you names or spreading rumors on the internet about you, right? Well, as we always say in our BMX school assemblies “treat others the way you want to be treated yourself”. So, please do not cyber bully anyway and instead of reacting to a situation in a negative way such as bullying someone back, be the bigger person and just walk away or tell someone.
