One In Three Internet-Bullied
March 9, 2010 – 12:51 pmI have to admit that the internet is a great platform that allows us to express ourselves but like everything in life, we have to know our limits. The Daily Mail (online) ran an article that says that one in three British students admitted to being bullied online especially on social networking websites like Facebook and MySpace, that have led to some suicides.
The internet is a great medium but it’s the people who misuse it that cause so much trouble. There is no doubt plenty of information online but as a user, we should know the right information from wrong. Life should just revolve around the internet, even though I see adults taking online life way too seriously too.
As for bully victims, suicide is not the way out because bullying goes by phases, victims change. The best thing about being bullied online is that we could just disconnect from the virtual world. Yes, we can do it even though most of the perpetrators are known to the victims, either through school or extra curricular activities.
