I am not sure what the beginning of the prevention was all about, but other then that I found it informative and covered cyber bullying pretty well. Talking about ways to avoid and or stop the bullying by blocking the bully from all personal sites was good, as well as explaining a few of the online ethics rules. They provided helpful websites which offer tips and help for those being cyberbullying, and also ways for parents to monitor what their child does so they can steer clear from it. My comments or questions for the blog would be…they covered a lot in the blog, effects, ways to avoid it, what you should do, pretty much everything, but what about the effects for those bullying. What happens to them, or do they just roam around bullying anyone who hasn’t blocked them. Although usually the bullies are someone they know, what if it’s someone they met in a chat room, or while playing an online game, what are the consciousness for the bullies. Or, what if your child is the bully, what are some ways you can “scare” him to not bully other then grounding them? I didn’t see any information on what happens to these bullies and felt it was the only thing missing. An example of this would be from Barnes, which was said that “The rape in cyberspace illustrates how people can blur the distinctions between on and offline experience and exemplifies how the emotional content of cyberspace can bleed into the real world.”(Barnes P257) Although a rough example, this does happen and by the time you block them the emotional stress it has caused may be to late, so what happens to the cyberbully who is causing this?
