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.
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).

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!
ReplyDeleteRifaat, 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!
ReplyDeleteHey Rifaat, it's very cool how you can really connect with us about cyber bullying when it was never a real problem in your life! I love how you add a bit of humor to each of your posts to make it more interesting to read. I look forward to reading your next post !
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
