Directions
Read the four website articles.  Follow the outline below to help you take notes and write your composition.
I. Introduction- your thoughts and experiences (or those of others) on bullying.
   The article from Online Bullying Compels State Acts, had made me  realize that bullying is happening everywhere, and anytime of the day, to everyone. Bullying, especially cyber-bullying wasn’t a big deal to me. I never knew there was such thing as cyber-bullying, and I never knew it happend until today from reading the articles. After reading the article from MSNBC it has  made me more aware, of the dangers that don’t only happen face to face with people you see everyday, but with people around the world. From reading the article Suicide Victim and the town that turned on her Cyber-bullying really made me think about what I could do to at least help out people I know that are being cyber-bullied, and to talk people out of it that are cyber-bullies.

II.  What is cyber-bullying?
   After reading all four articles I  have come to find out that cyber-bullying is being bullied through online, such as e-mails, blogs, and even text messages saying bad things about someone. Cyber-bully can be in any form in which someone is being not face to face, or is bullying anonymously.

III.  What are the effects of cyber-bullying?
   According to the article Suicide Victim and the town that turns on her cyber-bullying it has shown the biggest effect of cyber-bullying, which is suicide. How Parents can stamp out cyber-bullying, was a really educational and informative article. Effects it may have is causing people to hurt themselves, take it out on others, and do it to others. The bad thing about cyber-bullying is the people doing it don’t always get caught. 

IV.  How can cyber-bullying be prevented?  The article How parents can stamp out cyber-bullying, provided many ways parents can prervent their children from being cyber-bullied. One of the many ways is by talkling to their children about information that should not be displayed on websites, and about not entering sites that require personal information. It can also be prevented by not talking,or chatting with people you do not know. It is safe not to meet new people and to provide personal information to people through the internet. It is not safe to send personal information through e-mails either, because some people out there can access your e-mail and you wouldn’t even know.

V.  Conclusion

    All the  paragraphs have provided me information on ways to prevent cyber-bullying, and the things that haave occured from it. I’ve learned that cyber-bullying happens to almost everyone. There are so many sites and ways for c.yber-bullying to occur.  One of the ways I learned to prevent cyber-bullying is to be cautious of the information you provide on the internet, and the sites you visit. I’ve come to realize that cyber-bullying doesn’t occur because someone doesn’t like you, or you did something bad to them. It can happen to anyone, at anytime, for no reason. Cyber-bullying has big effects, and the worst thing about it,is the .people doing it can be anywhere in this world, and can somehow not get caught.
