Date Posted: 13:41:22 01/29/14 Wed As a middle school teacher, I see the effects of cyber bullying every single day with my students. In fact, I had a student who came in after school today to talk to me about this very subject. She was telling me how hard middle school is because her peers make fun of her looks and weight- both in person and online. I told her that she just has to live her life without worrying about what other people think. She looked at me, though, and said, "But sometimes it feels like I don't have a life." Bullying has affected her so much that she now feels so little of herself, and that is beyond sad. It astounds me that we, as an organization, preach about anti-bullying and anti-cyber bullying; but yet, supporters of our organization come on boards like this and put people down left and right. Cyber bullying on an anonymous message board isn't any different than the cyber bullying we urge our middle schoolers to stop doing. #standup [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
