Some highlights from this article that worth to mention are social networks are not the source of encouraging people to cyberbullying. If society want to shutdown the social network because of the cyberbullying then what about the school where student bullying?
In the article, it mention that
"Through this technology, so many young people, ripe for bullying at school, have found a community they can call their own and have benefited so powerfully to become emotionally resilient young people with renewed self confidence and greater life chances," says Ms Cross.
A kid, Nathan was bullied in school. At that time Nathan lost his confidence and later on he posted a blog about his experiences and people that had similar issue like him shared their experience to him too. Thus make a power bonding to them. Nathan felt relieved and confident once again. Nathan also added that most kid don't have the courage to speak up face to face whereas internet provide ideal place for them.
The article also mention that "Sadly with any form of communication there is a tiny minority of people who try to break the rules". "Addressing the bad behaviour at the root of the problem is crucial to solving the web bullying problem," as Children's minister Kevin Brennan stated.
In the article, I learned that web is also our source to counter-act the cyberbullying and this is why we making this blog.
