Cyberbullying is an issue that I care so deeply about because I was a victim of cyberbullying and bullying in regular school. To me cyberbullying can be a greater threat than traditional bullying because it occurs on a 24 hours a day and seven days a week basis. Like traditional bullying it can have a tremendous effect on a young person’s school and social life. It can leave serious psychological and emotional damage that can affect them for the rest of their lives. There is no way to completely stop cyberbullying but there are ways that people can get involved to address it and find ways to prevent it from occurring as much as possible.

I have been bullied for a very long time now and I have not really told anyone about it yet. I feel as if people were to understan what I'm alway thinking about or what I have to go to school with every day, then they would stop. I have a long story of things that happened to me but I think kids and parents should be more accepting of the Lgbtq+ communitey. Just because I'm bisexual doesn't mean that I'm much more different than every other teen. (Sorry if I didn't spell some thing right)

Deliberately ignoring or leaving other students out is bullying. Teachers and Staff are just as respondsible for not being responsible for the protection of the children in their care during the school day .  As a child I was bullied and believe me you don't forget how it made you feel . Our Public Schools need to start Communicating and remembering the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you ." dld
