Examples of Cyberbullying by Max

Cyberbullying is when someone texts, blackmails, or emails someone to make them feel bad. Cyberbullying is when someone threatens, embarrassed, or anything that is meant to hurt them (mentally).
Kids cyberbully to make them selves feel better. Sometimes kids don't even know there doing it, if kids are angry they will do stuff they don't want to.

Here are some cyberbullying stories I found at http://www.cyberbullyalert.com/blog/2008/10/stories-of-cyber-bullying/
The Megan Meier MySpace Incident
Megan Meier was a 13 year old from Missouri who struck up an online friendship on the popular social networking site MySpace with a person she believed was a new boy in her hometown. In actuality, the “friend” was a group of individuals, including adults, who were intent on humiliating the poor girl because of a friendship with another child that had gone awry. Megan was very upset when she found out the truth, then later committed suicide once the friendship had terminated. The horrifying case stunned the community and caused state government officials to pass some of the harshest cyber bullying laws in the country.


The “Dog Poop Girl

In South Korea, a female college student was riding the train with her dog when it defecated on the floor of the subway car. After the girl refused to clean up the mess, another passenger on the train took her picture using her cell phone and posted it online. In the months to follow, it became an Internet sensation in South Korea and “Dog Poop” girl became the target of extreme harassment. Individuals found out her name and address and soon she was forced to withdraw from school and move to another part of the country.

Cyberbullying is a terrible thing and kids should never do it.Some kids have even committed suicide,that is why kids need to control there anger and never give your personal info, to people you don't know online.
