Cyber Bullying

Thinking about the debate that was presented Friday about cyber bullying, I thought the debate was great!

Both sides very clearly and very concisely. Some excellent points were brought up about the amendment rights and how cyber bullying does in fact effect how children perform in school and how their social lives could be greatly effected. I do agree with both points that were brought up and can understand how cyber bullying can do this to today's youth.

I believe that cyber bullying is a huge problem and needs to be managed somehow. I just think that the school system should not have to be the ones to accept the consequences. I believe that unless the school requires these children to have a facebook account, carry a cell phone, have a myspace, or twitter, Then the school should not be held responsible for the actions of today's youth society.

I think of this problem as one that can be taken care of extremely easily. I mean, nobody is forcing these children to have these online social networks and cell phones. If it becomes such a huge problem for these kids, why don't they just delete their facebook page or change their cell phone number?
