01/08 Cyber Bullies
Quote From: fairytaleI am wondering WHEN are parents going to take responsibility for the actions of these "children". It seems to me that with all of the technology available today, that someone needs to rein in what they are doing, and who they are doing it with. I do not agree with cyber bullying, but, just where do we get the idea that it is okay for our children to spend 25 hours a day on the internet? Either texting on phones, or "myspace" which as far as I am concerned is a divice of the devil. It gives way to much information to any and everyone. Plus, it plays into the hands of anyone who is out to make trouble, get even, get personal information, and most of todays "children" are to narcisistic to believe it will happen to them. So PARENTS, wake up and smell the coffee. It is your responcibity to see that these things do not happen. Of course we are dealing in todays society with the groups from the "60s', and we know how that went. They did not know what was going on then, and surely are not prepared to know what is happening now. Hi my name is Cheryllynn. I have experienced the online bully. Ive been called monkey, they put kkk signs up and I was playing a game of online spades. I played the wrong card and my partner just automatically started calling me names. I showed it to my husband and we were shocked at the way this person was going on and on with the foul language. I ended up cutting the game off, but it was wrong and someone needs to look out for people like that and band them from being on online games.
