I believe that if a student is cyberbullied, there should be a punishment for it. If a child has been cyberbullied and has told a teacher about their situation, the student that cyberbullied should get a punishment. The punishment should be a suspension from school. It should be a suspension because if it was a detention or just a demerit, the student might not learn their lesson or feel bad about what they did. If the student continues to cyberbully, they should be suspended again but for a longer time. The student should also see a counselor or someone to help the students work out their problem.

Part A Summary The article “Why Our Approach to Bullying Is Bad for Kids” written by Susan Porter states the different consequences that may occur due to our culture’s views on bullying. The article suggests that by labeling children as “bullies” adults are not seeing a child’s full potential thus preventing them from reaching their maximum growth.
