what do you think? 12-10

3- 1.Cyberbullying is a problem that affects almost half of all American teens. 2.When teens were asked why they think others cyberbully, 81 percent said that cyberbullies think it’s funny. 3.Youth who are cyberbullied report feeling angry, hurt, embarrassed, or scared.

2- I have two questions requarding this article....1. Was there a survey that teens took for them to figure out the poll 81 percent said that cyberbullies think it’s funny? 2. Why is cyberbullying most popular in the age group of teens?

3-  The main idea of this article is to inform people about cyberbullying and to show how many people it effects also how to prevent it.

My Opinion On Cyberbullying By:Halle-Kate

Online bullying, called cyberbullying, happens when teens use the Internet, cell phones, or other devices to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person. Cyberbullying is a problem that affects almost half of all American teens. To me this is upseting that teens would do this surely knowing it was bound to harm or embarrass someone. An example I have seen of cyberbullying is a comercial  on disney channel where there was of two best friends and one of them shared an embarassing secret with the other but she felt confident doing it because she trusted her. It turned out the friend who was trusted with the secret let her friend down by posting the secret on facebook where everyone could see it due to bullying from other school mates. However cyberbullying ,or any bullying for that matter, is never okay and and that is why it is my opinion that cyberbulling is BAD!
