Ever since social networking sites have become popular in today's society, there have been many more cases of cyber bullying. I believe that students who cyber bully their peers should be suspened from school. I think this because school should be considered a safe learning environment. It is stressful for the victims to be around the bully, their grades might suffer and they might be afraid it will lead to physical bullying.
I stronly believe students who cyber bully other students should be suspened. Students should feel comfortable at school and being cyber bullied is stressful first of all because the victim doesn't want people to know the things being sent online due to the fact they could be embarrassing rumors or pictures. As well as being concerned about being embarrassed online they could be nervous to actually see the bully at school. Facing your online bully is nerve racking and the victim doesn't want to have to do that especially alone. In addition to being embarrassed and nervous the poor student should not have to deal with being afraid of going to school. Cyber bullying has actually caused people to skip class or school because they don't feel comfortable being near the person bullying them. Students should feel safe at school not afriad.
Students who are bullied in any way are likely to get lower grades than before the bullying started. To begin cyber bullying happens over text message as well as online. If the victim gets rude text messages constantly during class it is very distracting. Also, again the bully could intimedate the victim enough that they don't show up to school at all.Finally everything being said online is going to be on the student's mind rather than the math lesson being taught. I believe that the students are being cyber bullied pay attention less because the problem is on their mind and not school work.
Being cyber bullied is bad enough but it can lead to physical bullying. Personally I would want the bully suspened before that happened and I know every single person being cyber bullied would as well. The victim is definitely getting threatened in some way which would lead to the fear of physical abuse.The student being threatened as well as just being given looks from the bully is frightening and could lead to physical bullying if the victim looks at them wrong. Finally they could just be scared of the bully without being threatened or anything just because they might be bigger than them. The student causing the problem should be suspened before it gets to this point.
I stronly believe every student that bullies another student in any way should be suspened because it is extremely stressful to be comfortable and feel safe at school with the person they are scared of the most. Also it is hard to concentrate on school when other things are on their mind. As well as it being stressful and unfocussed it is frightening.
Here's a link to a movie about cyberbullying! It's a great movie and shows what can happen online:

I don't believe students that cyber bully should be suspended from school, unless it happens at school. It should be up to parents and/or police to deal with out of school issues. Why should a student be punished at school when it didn't happen in school?
ReplyDeleteI think cyber bullies should be suspended from school. A cyber bully isn't that different from a bully, the only thing that is different is that it's words that come attacking you. I agree that a student shouldn't be scared to come to school because someone bullying them is there, so I too think that cyber bullies shouldn't be treated any differently from someone that bullies you physically.
