Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying is to bully an individual mentally or physically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening purpose over the internet. We can prevent cyber bullying by raising awareness, counselling and talking out. According to the case of Audrie Pott, "Collaborating with our parents, students, staff and community, we will continue to work diligently to maintain a positive climate at our high schools based on respect, responsibility, and open communication that discourages cyber bullying and inappropriate conduct," Mistele said. I agree with Mistele that in the cases of cyber bullying it helps if we maintain a positive climate especially in high schools because teenagers are getting more cyber bullied these days because of the more use of social media websites.
