    I picked cyderspace bullies becasue it seems intresting and it can happen to anyone just for telling soneone that you don't want to be there friends anymore. Cydeerbullying is when someone harasses you on a phone, computer or any technology device. I think it's a big issue for kids becasue most people don't say anything about it and keep it to themselfs. One intresting thing I found about cyberbullying is manily becasue people tell others their password and that causes hacks. You really shouldn't be using cyber things like websites. You also shouldnt tell a friend any secrets until you are 100% sure they wont hold it agasint you if you ever stop being friends.

    (CAN NOT RESPOND TO ANYONE BECASUE I WAS THE FIRST ONE!)

  4. iTS ME JOHNATHAN PUENTE. I choose this article because it has somthing to do with bulling. And i had an issue with that before.
    Cyberbulling is a way to theart hurt or get mean with sombody over the internet. Whenever you log to anthing your e mail phone aim.Cyber bullies are there i hate it this too.Aim is a way bullies can get to u. AN important tip is if u go to the police on this keep the evidence so they can see it. Never give any0ne your password not even your best freind they can have a gruge on you and say nasty stuff on hacking mode. 703 johnathan puente out.

  10. Kadi, I agree. I think there are students who experience forms of cyberbullying and are either afraid to say something or are not sure how to handle the situation. I am hoping this article will help those who might have been cyberbullied. For students who had never heard of the term "cyberbullying" before, I hope they can help themselves as well as others deal with this serious issue.

  11. I chose cyberspace bullying simply because, this is obviously a very critical and current issue and it jeopardizes people's lives both emotionally and physically.Its mostly showen when someone uses any kind of elecrical device to harass or humiliate the other person on chat sessions.I think its a big issue to address because most people are to mentally destressed over a certain comment displayed and keep it to themselfs.One prime reason i find this iusse so insteresting is how girls are usually the victims of cyberspace bullying, in comparison to boys.You really should try to avoid gossip and threats and try to live positive enviorment and also be aware of who your talking to online...IT HELPS!!

  17. This is your boy jimmy and i agree with jhonathan because I have expirience with bullying so i would like to know the step to take in case if it happens again.From this article i concluded that cyberbulling is when someone uses a electronic device 2 harass threaten or humiliate another person. I feel that people who cyber bully,no all bullys are either insecure of themself or have been bullied in the pass and want to do the same for some sick and twisted reason and the worst, of all people the ones who feel happy when they cause someone pain and suffering also some people get bullied so much that they commite suicide or mess up their lives with drugs to forget about what the bullys have done to them.one fact that surprised me was that gurls r nearly 2x az likely 2 be involved in cyberbulling as boyz dat surprised and is important 2 me cause gurls look so quiet and nice and stuff. Also middle school students should no bout dis cause if someone iz cyberbulling u it is mostlikely 2 b a gurl.if someone iz cyberbuling u dont keep it 2 ur self tell n adult.AND DONT CYBER BULLY PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE

  21. I agree with Radley cyber bullying is bad because you really can't trust no one because anyone can be out to get you. If you tell a secert to someone then the next day it is world wide.Sometimes people also just cyber bully for fun which is wrong on so many levels.

  22. I agree with both Lisa and Radley. Cyberbullying should cease. People specifically teenagers must control themselves and not let their emotions and anger take a hold of them. Their actions may lead to a much more threating problem. A detail that was interesting was when Susan Limber said "You can be cyberbullied 24/7, just by turning on your celphone..."

  24. Its me Walter Maldonado:).

    I chose this article to read because it was very interesting.Also the title of the story caught my attention.This can happen to anyone that is having problems with a bully or even just a friend.Cyberbullying is when a person bullies another person over any type of technology.There is practicly NO ESCAPE.I think that cyberbullying is useless,a waste of time and none of our students in the school should be doing it.Whatever you do never give anyone a password to any of your accounts on anything you own.Even if he/shes your bestfriend. Dont do this because they can always sign on to it and mess your reputation up.A tip for students to keep all of the bullies messages.You could use this as evidence for the cops to know your not lying.

    I agree with Kadi because some students do experience cyberbullying and dont say anything.This can cause the students to either cause suicide or become stressed and do worse in school.I hope this will help people to tell aduts and cops so that they wont be bullie anymore.

    I agree with Kevin because if you dont know anyone you shouldnt talk to them.Mainly because they can be a violent criminal.Also if you plan to meet them they can kidnap you or worse.

  27. This article really caught my interest when I read the title "CyberSpace". I have never realized that online bullies would exist! In fact I also did not know CyberBullying would involve harassing someone using an electronic. This article makes me feel disapointed that teens at my age would start
    bullying in a pathetic, cowardly way. In this article they mentioned about how to prevent having a cyberbully. Which is by not sharing your password to no one, especially your closest friend because if you break up with that friend, they might post an embarrassing fact about you online. A tip for all you middle and high schoolers is to avoid contact with constant communicating.

    Cyberbullying is when some one tells your secrets or imberese you. Even threats!!!!! you using a computer cell phone or anything else to humiliate you.I think its kind of sick to do it.You trust someone then they tell all your secrets.

  42. This caught my attention because i did not know how you can bully someone on the internet. Cyberbullying is when you use a computer, cellphone or any other device to harass threaten or humiliate someone else. I think you should notdothat because you dont know if the person takes it seriously and they tell the cops and it becomes a more serious issue. So i think that before u cyberbully someone u should think about what the consequences will be after u do it.
