Addressing cyber bullying can help the next generation in a
number of ways. Cyber bullying, like all
other forms of bullying, is about picking on someone for their worst character
flaw and exacerbating it. Bring more attention
to it and make it something that more people can mock and laugh at. The immense negativity leads to depression,
anger and resentment. Bullying does not
enable sympathy only humiliation of the victim and entertainment for the perpetrator. Unlike in person, you cannot always report
cyber bullying to get assistance. Though the strong individuals can deal with this in a healthy manner on their own, some of
us need help to handle to the day to day stresses that we face. Some of the repercussions of bullying are
scary and can be dangerous. We have seen
the extreme results of bullying lead to loss of human lives. Deaths of the ones harmed, those that caused
it and even innocent bystanders who were present at the time it took place or at
the point of retaliation. In no one’s
view can you compare suicide to mass murder except for the person who decides
that line can be crossed. Since the
results are not always to toughen up and learn from experience we should try to
discompose these activities prior to the troubling outcome. But it has to be halted with honesty for the modification. The conduct is a known problem and done with insensitive
intent. We cannot just tell people we
are all equal and we are all the same for people to accept it is wrong.
It is true in a humane sense but when gender, economics, academics, race
and status are incorporated into the conversation the separation is clear and
present. We have to teach each other
about the importance of having respect for our differences and why they
exist. Even stereotypes are continued
because it was once observed and apply to a similar group of people at a later
time. Try building self-esteem not from
a defensive position but to be secure in the company of others who seemingly
have more or are better off. Also show the historical lesson that perceptible inconsistencies
do not have to be the major dividing rod for our society to become segmented. How you treat people and interact with others
is as important in the long run as luxury items. There is a lot to do to change bullying
behavior. Silence and tolerance are congenial
and can be the primary option to at least start before any additional actions are taken.
