Life has been pretty good so far,asides my marks.... BUT THEY ARE IMPROVING!!!! but the only problem is theres only 22 days left.. oh what joy....
Well enough about me, lets talk about something that has recently popped up in society, CYBER BULLYING. No, doesnt mean you beat your computer and hope that the punches land of the person face... Thats the just ridiculous.. *ahem* Cyber bullying is a form of bullying that is by mocking, name calling, abusing through language and basically you know what?i'll just put the definition up, much simpler to explain.
Cyberbullying is defined in legal glossaries as
- actions that use information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm another or others.
- use of communication technologies for the intention of harming another person
- use of internet service and mobile technologies such as web pages and discussion groups as well as instant messaging or SMS text messaging with the intention of harming another person.
Examples of what constitutes cyberbullying include communications that seek to intimidate, control, manipulate, put down, falsely discredit, or humiliate the recipient. The actions are deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior intended to harm another.
THERE! much better... So anywho.... The rise of these form of bullying has been on a high, yes, im talking about the story of the one from port coquitlam.. Amanda Todd is a 15 years old teenager, only 3 years younger than me. How could people of our society do this? Aren't we humans as well? Would welikeit if this happened to us? How could they? Why would they? The society now has evolve into an inhumane society that sex, drugs and boozes is their primary goal in life. In this case, she just wants someone to call her own, someone to take care of her, someone she can rely on, to trust, and all he wanted was sexual pleasures.. Guys, we are better than this. If you love someone, love them from the heart, not the body.. Women deserve to be treated like queens, not a slut.
Yes its true, some people would think 'why is she so stupid?cutting and trying to kill herself with bleach?' When you are depressed, sad, or 'emo' nothing else really matters in life. They would be thinking that their life isnt worth living. I have came to that point before and i know how it feels like.. People should judge her by what few individuals say, they should take the initative to know who she is before making presumptions of her.
Lastly, why cant they just leave her alone? She moved away to get away from everything, they just had to follow her ei? Don't you know cyberbullying is a crime? Didnt know? Well here's the order.
Cyberbullying is a type of harassment using new technology. Whether it is criminal harassment depends on the facts of a case. Cyberbullies use social media (such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube), blogs, texting, instant messaging, and other internet avenues to engage in deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour intended to harm, embarrass, or slander someone. Although their work is public, cyberbullies are anonymous and it is often harder to identify and stop them.
Cyberbullying may also be defamation. The Criminal Code (section 300) outlaws publishing a "defamatory libel" – material published, without lawful justification or excuse, likely to injure the reputation of any person by exposing them to hatred, contempt or ridicule, or designed to insult the person. But criminal defamation is rare. More common is civil defamation – communication about a person that tends to hurt their reputation. Script 240, called “Defamation: Libel and Slander”, has more on this.
Oh yeah, there is a law about cyberbullying you know that? im am just freakign pissed about this!!!! why cant you people develop a sense of thinking ei? i know im opening myself to attacks but this issue has been long in my head ever since i was a kid...
Lastly, fellow friends, in the country or overseas, we can make the difference!!!!!! we cant take that step to stop this? Amanda Todd was left alone, being beaten up while 50 onlookers just stared and no one thought of helping her? So what she slept with his bf? So what? She's a human just like us! Why is it that she should face the music for someone that deliberately did and told lies jus tto cover up his own freaking ass ei? She was nice enough to cover your ass and you joined in with ridiculing...
Please, we can stop this... I have this tendency to go overboard even on social sites. I would send messages to my friends that do this to prevent them from being a jackass..We can make a difference. GOD! theres like 7 billion of us in the world!!!! Lets stop cyberbullying and make our earth a better place to live ei?
Peace out,
Carrots....
