Cyber-bully.

Yesterday I watched this movie - Cyber-bully and I didn't know what to say or think after that. Tina Meier was mentioned so, I Googled her and found out about her daughter's suicide. Megan Meier was 13. I never really gave much thought to cyber-bullying. When I made an account on Facebook, my parents and my sister gave me one guideline to follow - never friend anyone you don't know. I took this rule coolly thinking that why would I, I wouldn't know what to talk about with some stranger.....but when you don't have friends and you feel all alone, anyone would accept a request because no one wants to be lonely and it feels better knowing that there is at least one friend even if he is someone you have never spoken to or seen.
                                         The internet is universal. So is bullying. And cyber-bullying  is the most dangerous form because its all anonymous. You could be a bully for all you knew, posting a nasty comment on someone's picture or status, spreading rumors about someone - I'm not accusing anyone but what we might do or say thinking of it as a joke might actually hurt another person deep inside and could do some irreparable damage. Lori Drew thought of it as a joke but she drove a vulnerable 13 year old girl who was looking for a friend to the point of killing herself, Drew might not have meant to, but it happened anyway...all actions have consequences - think carefully about yours.
 P.S. - I f anyone wants to talk about this or any other type of bullying they might have faced, feel free to comment anonymously.
