#9 - Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is when you bully someone on the computer like on chat room or my space.

Article Title: Cyber Bullying: No Muscles Needed by Joan E. Lisante


This 7th grade boy found out that his ex girlfriend was putting down his new flame. He sent an Instant Message threatening to kill his old girl friend to all of their classmates. When all of the classmates found out, they told their parents which then got him banished to another school. The judge sentenced him 25 hours of community service and he was held legally responsible.

I don’t think this boy should have sent the Instant Messages like he did. That was totally wrong to send an Instant Message that is threatening someone. If they hadn’t of moved him, who knows what could have happened.

When the school found out what the bully had said they made him move to another middle school. It was a good thing that the parents called the school. Nothing happened to the girl; he never got a chance to do anything to her.

They bully could have just looked over it. He could have just went along with it and not been all mean about the situation. He didn’t have to go threatening his ex girlfriend.

This applies to the school because what if we would have someone in school like that, it wouldn't be that good. If they would just turn on you like that it would be really bad. You could know them one minute and then the next minute they switch.

  1. This kid took it to far. He should have told his ex to stop it first and not in the violent way he did it in. Threats get you in trouble.

  6. The person sending the threatening text was stupid. There are many other better solutions to the problem than the one he chose.

  7. How do you send that out to everybody and think your not going to get introuble at all for it. I think it is totally wrong what he did and they should have made him move schools. I don't think he got as much punishment as he should have got for that kind of crime, because even if he is in 7th grade he knows what he is saying and what it means.
