Support groups, I said it and I'll say it again, support groups. By support groups I'm not talking about the AA meetings that you get in rehab for being an alcoholic or a junkie (drug addict). I'm talking about those nice and relaxing ones that go: "hey, my name's Bob and I'm being cyber bullied" and then the rest of the group goes on and so forth. I find those groups to be helpful because they are other individuals that could be going through something similar as yourself. I find that it is a way to share ideas of recovery to others and show support, after all they're called support groups.

There are also clubs that go against the whole cyber bullying concept. In those clubs, you can share ideas online and join an organization that helps stop bullying worldwide. An organization similar to those is Stompoutbullying.org, with their slogan "stomp the drama... end the hate... stomp out bullying". With these kinds of groups, people can make a change in heart by publicly speaking. And I'm not saying that the person must speak in front of all of Canada, but in one place after another like schools. In my opinion, schools are the best place to start any kind of change because in school is where cyber bullying usually starts, so if we go to the root of the problem and prevent it from ever happening then there would be no problem. Last year, when I was in 9th grade, we had a visitor come to our school and talk to us about her sister who was bullied physically and later online. Her sisters story was truly tragic and it really got me thinking because I have a brother and never in my life do I want him to be bullied. 

If you were being bullied and have recovered, help make a change in someone else' life (don't get me wrong, if you don't want to I get it).
