Cyberbullying Vs. Boys

According to the graph in Document 1, girls are more likely to be cyber bullied. The difference between boys and girls is 8.5%.

Schools should take action if there is harm being done to others. In Document A of” Should Schools Be Allowed to Limit Students’ Online Speech?”, they surveyed a random sample of 10-18 year-olds from a large school district in the southern US. It shows that girls are more likely to be cyberbullied. It also shows that girls are more likely to cyberbully somebody else. According to the graph, 25.1% of girls have been cyberbullied in their lifetime,

Many students from a sample of 10-18 year olds, 16.6 percent of boys, and 25.1 percent of girls believe that they had been bullied in their life. Surprisingly, 17.5 percent of boys, and 21.3 percent of girls felt that even they have cyberbullied before. ( Doc A). Cyberbullying is shown to happen to many teenagers, and is thus quite popular in modern day schools. Cyberbullying is shown to happen to a large percentage of the students.

Contrary to popular belief, cyberbullying only affects a minority of the student body. Recent statistics show that a large percent of students have never been cyberbullied. According to a recent survey 74.9% of girls and 83.4% of boys have never been cyberbullied (Doc A). In reality the effect of cyberbullying is

In a cyberbullying by gender graph by Sameer Hinduja and Justin Patchin, with the cyberbullying research center (Doc A). 41% of boys and girls in a random district in the southern US have ever been cyber bullied in their lifetime which is almost half, and 21% of girls admit that they have bullied someone in their lifetime. Therefore there is a problem here, free speech or not and it needs to be addressed. According to this graph ¼ girls have been cyberbullied and all this information definitely supports the limit because the data represented shows the severity of cyberbullying and why people need to realize that it is a real issue.

Many believe that the way to decline the, number of kids cyberbullied, is to limit their speech and rights. The Cyberbullying Research Center recorded that in 30 days that 36 girls have been cyberbullied. That is 1 in 4 girls every day. (Document A) Students are not the only targets for cyber bullying, teachers are as well. According to a Teacher Support Network in the UK. It has found that Pupil’s (Students) are the largest amount of perpetrator’s. (Document B) Cyber Bullying can affect people in several different ways. In Document C, K.K a girl who made a

Is the threat of bullying a real threat to kids today? Bullying has been a threat for a long time in schools and adding the new advances in technology such as cell phones, twitter and facebook bullying is now being done online and school learning is being affected. Schools should have the power to limit students’ online speech because the percent of boys and girls being cyberbullied is raising, teachers teaching ability is being affected, and students learning in class is being affected. One reason schools should have the power to limit their students online speech is cyberbullying is now a problem in the United States. The Cyberbullying Research Center posted statistics in February 2010 saying 16.6% of males between the ages of 10-18 have been cyberbullied and 25.1% of females ages between 10-18 have also been cyberbullied (Doc A).

Cyberbullying is a relatively new threat, and it is very similar to traditional bullying. Despite the fact that cyberbullying and traditional bullying both share the common goal of harassment, cyberbullying differs from traditional bullying in that it does not stop at the schoolyard, and can continue when the victim is far away from the aggressor. It is just as devastating as common bullying, and sometimes is even more damaging. Professors Sameer Hinduja and Justin W. Patchin note in their journal, “Cyberbullying Creates Dangerous Stress and Anxiety”, that cyberbullying affects anywhere between 10-40% of students (contingent on their age group) (par. 1). J.D. Kelly A. Albin, in her article “Bullies in a Wired World”, defines cyberbullying as “…the ‘willful and repeated harm inflicted through use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices’” (157). It is caused by the fact that children feel their actions are mitigated when they use social media, as it creates the illusion of indirectness, and its effects range anywhere from mild depression to suicide.

She was an outgoing teenager. She liked meeting new people on a video chat. But one time she made the mistake by listening to an anonymous stranger who asked to flash. Soon she learned the consequences of doing that. He would make fake facebook accounts and request to follow her classmates. He would tell them misrepresentations that he was moving to that school soon and wanted to get to know some people. After they followed him back he would post the inappropriate picture of Amanda. Everyone either would bully Amanda or alienate her. Everyone who bullied her should have been expelled because everyone makes mistakes. “ The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned.” Which was said by the expert Albert Einstein. Amanda was not bullied by a clique she was bullied by kids from all over the world. It is appropriate that someone should've stepped in to help. But no one did, and that’s the reason we have two less people in this

“Amanda Todd was only 15 when she took her own life at her home on October 10, 2012. Just 3 days before however, she posted a video on YouTube about her story. Millions of people have seen that video and to this day, it has over 17 million views. Many people had seen this video as a call for help, and nobody did. Here is her story before she took her life. A few years ago, during her 7th grade year, she was using video chat to meet new people. One person had convinced her to show her breasts during a video chat and a year later, someone managed to find it and caused complete chaos for her. Soon, it was sent to everyone she knew, and that had caused her to transfer schools for many reasons. Her reputation was ruined once everyone had seen these pictures, she was thrown out into the dust and left for dead. This had been going on for months now, and nothing was done. Amanda was beaten by other classmates, had no friends, and she even tried to drink bleach but was saved before she could die. A few months later, she took her own life at her home in British Columbia, Canada.

Bullying has been around since the beginning of time. Parents may remember when they were kids and the bully would pick on them or their friends by stealing lunch money or just getting beat up, and that was the end of it. The victims remember the hurt, frustration, and sadness it caused. However, these days, bullying is not just happening on the playground or at the bus stop, it is happening on the Internet and on cell phones, making it possible to bully a child 24 hours a day with multiple bullies and thousands of kids watching. Cyberbullying follows children nonstop and into the safety of their house. Sometimes kids are afraid to inform their parents about the cyberbullying that they will think its there fault. Or that their parents will call the bullies parents or other parents, making the bullying worse. However, the effect and pain that comes from cyberbullying is real. People underestimate cyberbullying, just because it is happening online and not in person. Cyberbullying can lead to many different factors like drinking, and drugs, poor grades, depression, eating disorders. Many students have even taken their own lives because of another student saying something to them online. Cyberbullying has been taking place a lot more in middle and high schools because of the increased usage of social media networks and technology. Cyberbullying is worse and more harmful than traditional bullying.

“Even though her mother had no sense that Riley was having problems, she knew it was important to talk to her daughter about suicide, and so she did. Between 2013 and 2015, 29 kids in their county had killed themselves, many from just a handful of schools, including Riley's. There had been gunshot deaths, hangings and drug overdoses. And then there were those choking deaths the victims' parents insisted were accidental. Riley knew of at least two of the kids who had killed themselves the previous winter: an older girl at school (they had mutual friends) and a boy in her Christian youth group. Such peripheral connections are all that seem to connect most of the kids in the area who had killed themselves, and school and county officials began to worry they were witnessing a copycat effect...until copycat became too weak a word. It was more like an outbreak, a plague spreading through school hallways. About a year after Sjoerdsma and her daughter last spoke about suicide, Riley was staying at her father's house one night when she downed a small bottle of whiskey, then sent out a series of troubling texts and Snapchat messages. "I'm sorry it had to be

Cyberbullying, once thought of as a tormentor among teens, is rapidly increasing among adults in a wide range of internet outlets that allow information to be shared on a global scale for the destruction of a victim’s life on a social, an educational, and an employment wide strike. The rise in adult cyber-bullying affects female individuals at a much more alarming rate than their male counterparts. This misogynistic cyber-bullying tendency is brought to light in the book, “The Offensive Internet,” by Martha Craven Nussbaum, and Saul X. Levmore, with the following statistics; “The nonprofit organization Working to Halt Online Abuse explains that, from 2000 to 2007, 72.5 percent of the individuals reporting cyber harassment identified themselves

Girls are now more likely than boys, according to recent research, to report being bullied in schools. Other studies have shown that girls are often more adept than boys in using other forms of destructive relational aggression — including exclusion, isolation, rumoring, gossiping, sarcasm, pitting friends against one another, and other revealing or altering personal secrets. Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter can further enable and boost these kinds of emotional violence between young

Girls were much more likely than boys to be victims of both cyber and traditional bullying, says a recent Murdoch Children's Research Institute study.
