| Lithuania: Secretly hate each other. |
In Japan, there are bullies that are using blogs to harass other students in high school. So, who knows, I could be harassing you guys right now by making you read all of this. They also surveyed South Korean universities and it turns out that three fourths of the students knew a victim of cyber bullying, and a little more then half knew a bully.
Currently, in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales, there is a new law that tackles an anti-bullying and behavioral policy. In Scotland, the schools are now also trying to make the same policy as the others. Today, most schools should have the same policy because there are now inspections that make sure the schools are a happy and educational environment. Some schools in England are making time for a new proactive event called circle-time where the kids gather in a circle and discuss things (probably how to prevent a problem). A man named Thompson points out that not all schools and students are the same. I fully agree to what he had to say because every country has it's habits and it's way of life, so tackling cyber-bullying can be different depending in what country you are in.

Hello. Good job on your last blog post. Crazy how you finished all your ten posts so early. Well, knowing that the United States has more cyber bullying than Canada is pretty obvious, so... There is that steryotype that implies that Canada is all nice and stuff. To add to that, Canada is a country full of people. Every single person has a different shares a different opinion than everyone else. As long as people have an opinion there will always be someone judging someone else. Sad thing indeed people. Well, congratulations on finishing all ten of your blog posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the congrats, and same to you with the "I'm done" post. I just want to point out that stereotypes are full of crap because 64% is a pretty big number of bullied people in a "peaceful country". Unfortunately, you do have a point with the opinions because people are cruel and one bad opinion of something can chain to more bad opinions.
DeleteHey Rifaat, I just read this blog and I think I agree with you. Cyber bullying is a terrible use of todays technology and I'm glad somebody else sees it that way and is trying to stop it. Keep writing.
ReplyDeleteGood sense of humour (Man, hold me back! I hear that teacher is the best drama teacher, lol. ) Cyberbullying is a terrifying concept. What do you suggest I tell my kids now as they are just starting school? Is there any way to not take it so personally?
ReplyDeleteA few issues:
- Spelling / Grammar (A few runs-ons, lowercase i, “the victim always keeps in a secret thinking they can deal with it”, its vs it’s , “send texts of of a different phone”, Colombia , etc. )
- Some formatting problems such as text spacing.
- A touch confusing at times. (“We all know about the famous bystander, the guy, girl or dog that watches silently and doesn't intervene”…The dog that doesn’t intervene???, Lithuania pic??)
- In some posts your opinion and/or the ‘why’ of your opinion is not clear.
Good stuff!
