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).

  1. OMG RIFAAT THANK YOU FOR THAT MENTION! Ha, I'm sure there were many people in our class that are good at acting! I enjoy that photoshopped grad pic, haha! Anyway, are there any preventative measures being taken by schools and authorities concerning cyberbullying? What is the local police doing about this? Will it be covered later? I look forward to another funny and informative blog post!

  2. Rifaat, I have to say you did a great job editing that picture, I mean your horns look just great. (I'm joking, don't take it seriously haha) Well, your blog seems great, I agree with you that cyber bullying can't be stopped by simply donating money. I also think your blog is very important to consider. Keep posting, I will surely continue to read!

    1. Thank you very much, I'm glad that you at least know that I haven't been bullied online because anyone else reading would probably think that I'm miserable. Also, thank you for the humor mention because I don't want people to HAVE to read my blog because without humor I wouldn't want to either.
