How many of you have Myspace, Facebook, or a Youtube account?

What is it about the internet that allows people to sometimes say cruel things and potentially be a cyber bully?

You may think that all you are doing is typing on a keyboard and sending this message out online, and that you will never see the results of your actions.

“How would I feel if someone said to me what I am saying to this person?”

Whatever you put online the internet stays there forever Whatever you put online the internet stays there forever. The authorities can discover what computer you are using.

Harassment of any kind is a crime punishable by law Harassment of any kind is a crime punishable by law. There are new laws that are being passed in the US that address cyber bullying and you or your parents can be charged with a crime.

Has anyone ever heard the name Ghyslain Raza Has anyone ever heard the name Ghyslain Raza? How about his other name “Star Wars Kid”? One of the most viewed videos in YouTube history back in 2002. Ghyslain never intended for anyone to see the video.

People continuously commented on every flaw he had, criticizing him, passing judgment, using nothing more than a minute long clip. He felt violated, helpless, and tormented. People have more of a tendency to share “funny” clips with their friends, comment anonymously, and be less cautious with their privacy. Their, “funny” prank ended up hurting their own family and quality of life.

Phoebe Prince Killed herself Jan 2010 From Massachusetts, 15 y.o. Killed herself Jan 2010 Harrassing messages found on her Facebook account and through texts contributed to her suicide.

14 y.o., from Missouri Killed herself after a former friend’s mom, who was upset by their falling out, impersonated a fictional teen boy who at first was friendly and posing as a possible love interest. After gaining her trust he said “the world would be a better place without you.” States are passing laws that make cyberbullying a crime.

Suicide is a complex phenomenon, not just one thing usually makes someone take their own life. Usually when someone contemplates suicide, they have more than one problem that they are struggling with. One common feeling is loneliness and it can be very easy to feel alone and isolated, when you are being cyberbullied. It can feel like everyone has turned against you. It can be a contributing factor and may have pushed these already vulnerable kids over the edge

SEXTING PHILLIP ALPERT, An 18-year-old from Orlando, Florida, who was charged with a felony for "sexting": texting a naked photo of his underage girlfriend to classmates that didn’t get along with her. He can’t leave the state without permission because he is on parole. He lost his job and friends because of this. He had to leave his parents home because the live nearby a school and he could do jail time for living to close to a school. “You will find me on the registered sex offender list, next to people who have raped children, molested kids. ”

He was arrested for dissemination of child pornography – which essentially means, he distributed an image that could be considered child pornography, because of the fact that she was 16 and not an adult.

IF YOU ARE BEING HARRASSED ONLINE OR CYBERBULLIED, YOU HAVE RIGHTS: Contact the website on which you are being harassed and file a formal complaint. The person is forced to disable their account. Talk to a trusted adult, especially someone in your school. Go to the proper authorities Call the police, they have ways of locating the person who is cyber bullying you. You also can get the legal system involved and have your parents contact a lawyer, if you feel that your life is being threatened. Deal with the behavior in a non-aggressive way
