Cyber bulling is something that has become new within the past 10 years, the technology has come a long way sense and many youths have begun to abuse it and use it for the wrong reasons. There have been many campaigns to help stop cyber bullying yet many still continue to do it. Cyber bullying hurts just as bad as bullying in person. You may be able to mask your face, mask your identity, but you can’t deny the pain that is caused by the things that are done. There have been kids who’ve committed suicide because of the pain from people cyber bullying. Remember that once you post something on the internet, it can always be found again and can haunt you for the rest of your life depending on the gravity of the post. Thus if you’re the one being bullied there are different things you can do to help stop it. Starting with reporting them to the site and reporting it to school officials, after that you can always block, delete, and delete your own account. You do not have to keep on looking at what they are saying no one makes you stay on the site where it’s all taking place. So do what you need to do to stop it, you are never alone.

Wooly Bully
Wednesday, November 16th, 2011
I can’t say that I’m untouched by the wave of extreme bullying, or rather the extremes to which people are driven to avoid it, that seems to be taking the Chicagoland area by surprise. The news has been full of the story of a young, elementary school student who killed herself over the excessive bullying that she faced on a daily basis. It was such a, and still she managed to hear a brand new slur almost each day. It breaks my heart that someone so innocent, who was said to not have even known yet what the word šlût meant, would be tormented so thoroughly. Schools are supposed to be communities, like it or not. I think it’s worth more, for everyone, to keep its members as members. Whether we like it or not, a suicide is running away from something as well; let’s not give anyone a reason to run away. Spread the good word, camaraderie, instead of more than a few bad ones, why don’t you? It is National Runaway Prevention Month. The same care that you can provide for someone to keep them safe and with a home can also support someone in keeping their life.

Fitting In
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011
Remember back when you were in elementary and you used to pass out valentine cards to all the kids in the class? When you would all get candy from one another? It never worked like that to me – I was the lonely kid. I brought candy and valentine cards, but no cool kid would touch anything I touched, and it hurt. It was like I had some kind of contagious disease. I grew up away from that, and I always wanted to fit in, instead of stand out. I wanted to be popular like all the other kids that made fun of me. I had a few friends that I kept to. When I was going to middle school in my teen years, all my friends moved. So that hurt me and I had to make new friends. I didn’t know how to make friends; I was always made fun of, until I decided to stand up for myself. I began to stand up to those who bullied me, and showed that I wasn’t going to fear them anymore, and they began to step down and I began to have friends. In my first year of middle school, my school was divided into groups with those that didn’t know English all in another sector of the school. They were known as Cheants, the weak ones, the ones that didn’t know anything, that didn’t belong. I began to make friends with a few of them, and it was great.

Namecalling
Saturday, October 22nd, 2011
. If you saw a girl, age 15 and pregnant, you would think “šlût”, but what if I told you she was raped? Would that change your mind? If people call an old man ugly for his scars from protecting his country, he probably should have sat at home like all of you. Call a person “fat”, what if they have a medical problem that makes them fat, or what if that was you right there, would you tease him/her? Society is fed up with the majority of people just actually being what they think, they automatically think “ugly, fat, šlût, dumb, and emo” we just assume they are. People don’t look inside the story, and just assume. What if you were assumed as one the nasty names? You wouldn’t like it as much as the people being called these days. Stop now and act against this.
