4.+Cyberbullying

What is Cyberbullying? Would you ever cyberbully someone?
One of the strange things about cyberbullying is that people will cyberbully who would never phycially or verbally bully someone in 'real' life. This can be because you can't see the persons reaction, it doesn't seem all that bad when sent through a technological device, its easier to do anonymously - there are lots of reasons. The bottom line we have to remember is Rule 1 of netiquette - **Remember the Human!** Always remember there is a real person receiving your messages, and never send anything you wouldnt say in person - in fact considering how open the online world is, don't send anything you wouldn't mind saying at assembly with a microphone to the whole school - because that's what it is really like.
