Starting Draft
“Brandon Turley didn't have friends in sixth grade. He would often eat alone at lunch, having recently switched to his school without knowing anyone. While browsing MySpace one day, he saw that someone from school had posted a bulletin -- a message visible to multiple people -- declaring that Turley was a "fag." Students he had never even spoken with wrote on it, too, saying they agreed. Feeling confused and upset, Turley wrote in the comments, too, asking why his classmates would say that. The response was even worse: He was told on MySpace that a group of 12 kids wanted to beat him up, that he should stop going to school and die. On his walk from his locker to the school office to report what was happening, students yelled things like "fag" and "fatty." "It was just crazy, and such a shock to my self-esteem that people didn't like me without even knowing me," said Turley, now 18 and a senior in high school in Oregon. "I didn't understand how that could be." (Elizabeth Landau, 2018)”
Talk about how Turley feels when his fellow classmates discuss such a little word that means so much harm in the making. How long do you think that Turley could recover from this? Imagine one of your friend, weather your friend is a child or an adult going through a similar experience but through Facebook or Facebook messages. Would you be able to speak out on the behalf of yourself and realize what is happening? Cyberbullying is a complex predicament that we face around the globe. It is an issue that everyone faces emotionally, somehow it goes unnoticed. A psychology state of mind, a hateful way to get into someone’s mind using harsh languages to benefit someone else for the greater good. One last scenario, imagine a kid being treated cruelly on Facebook by many of his classmates. The kid’s mind is racing into so many directions, positively or negatively, we don’t know what he is thinking. Without proper knowledge of what Cyberbullying is, the kid is not able to realize it, especially at a young age. When the issue becomes more and more overwhelming for the kid, think of what actions the kid could possibly think of based off of some very descriptive words that is getting into his head. Those words really messing with his head, and he may have taken his actions too far. Think unlimited reasons of how the kid could cope with this. Many solutions that the kid may think that is ideal for him may include, suicidal, a gun riot, revenge, or maybe the kid is worthy to realize that he should simply avoid the situation at all cost.
