There are many ways to learn about cyber bullying and why we shouldn't let such a thing from happening (cyber bullying). I've done certain activities back in my grade school (St-Edmond, represent). So many of the activities were naturally boring because cyber bullying was just never a problem in my life (never been cyber bullied).There were activities such as write a short answer (rĂ©ponse courte) about a subject involving cyber bullying. And we all know just how scary a short answer can be because it's no where near short, (takes off jacket) "man hold me back, i said hold me back". Okay now that i calmed down, back to cyber bullying.

The other way is a little more fun, just kidding it's a lot more fun, it's when we do plays in class. Now this way was always hilarious because no one in my 8th grade class was good at acting other then Camelia, so it was funny seeing people bust their butts off trying to keep their cool and not bursting into laughter (especially when the audience tried with all their hearts to make that person laugh).

Now the most fun way was when we watched a professional play made by M. Noecker and his drama students. I hear he's the best drama teacher in all of North America and he also teaches English. Therefore, he used to bring his students and present a few hilarious plays, and this time they were actually rehearsed and the play itself was funny but still I can see the message behind the comedy. In my opinion, this by far the best and probably the only effective way to prevent cyber bullying because after the play we would ask them simple questions but their answers were so precise that it got me reflecting on what I've done, if I cyber bullied someone and all that fun stuff.

Now this is the saddest play I've ever seen (not M. Noecker's play) but i just wanted to show you what it looks like.

Lastly, I haven't and will never do this but there is donations that can be made to "stop cyber bullying". I can't stand seeing these kind of scams because first, it makes no sense. Cyber bullying can't be stopped by picking up money from others, it won't find the person behind it either. All donations will do is make you feel like your helping the victim when they are probably still getting bullied. The best way to help someone is to actually try, and by that i mean try and track him down (bully).

There are many ways to do such an evil thing (cyber bully). I can assure you that non of them are pleasant to neither the victim nor the bully. Its unpleasant because it hurts to be picked on day and day where everyone can see what is happening but don't bother to ask for the truth behind the problem going on. For the bully it's bad because you should feel like crap after ruining the life of an innocent person, but if you don't, I think you're on the wrong planet.

 The first way can be done by simply making fun of the person (not lightly) by posting things about them that are most likely lies and very demeaning. Another way that is even worse, it is when the bully and his or her messed up mind decide to make a fake account in the name of the victim on any social media like Twitter, and then post a bunch of lies of things that the victim didn't do like in the movie Cyberbully (I do not recommend watching it). A smart man once said "don't people also bully be texting" (my brother), and he is right because anyone can get the phone number of the person that they want by asking friends or the person himself/herself but discretely not showing the reason behind it. Once gotten the number, the bully can then send texts of of a different phone saying rude things or even threatening the person (can also be by call using a different voice-I would do that if I where a bully). In doing so, you will leave the victim paranoid and always being careful until they collapse in despair. Just a reminder, I'm against cyber bullying and I'm not teaching you guys how to do it correctly.

Cyber bullying is a common thing that happens in so many places corrupting so many people. What is cyber bullying? It is a form of bullying easier and doesn't include physical violence at all, it is bullying someone ONLINE. That means on social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and more. It is a cruel thing to do that is usually done by the people who have not liked that person for a long time so I never understood why it was so hard for the persons getting bullied to find the person behind it. I don't think this is as common but it is also done by someone who could be jealous of the victim or something that he/she has, and i also never understood that either because the bully could simply be his friend and he could probably share the things he was jealous of before. After reading that, you could say i don't understand much of anything.

    Bullying (physical) is not a pretty thing, it can cause injuries and bruise even the heart (pretty wise), but when someone sees what has happened to the victims faces, they will ask questions in order to help them (or at least they should be). In the case of a cyber bullying victim, there are no physical indications that something wrong has happened unless there are cuts on their wrist (that are usually covered). Since there is no way to know, there is also no way to help because the victim always keeps in a secret thinking they can deal with it until it gets out of hand and something regrettable happens. Which makes cyber bullying the worst kind of bullying because it cant be prevented. Just in case you are a victim, please report it.

Cyber bullying leaves the worst scars of all, that is to the heart and the brain because eventually the person will start to believe what is being said about him/her and that's when it would be too late, unless they have a strong self esteem.
