The Cyber Bullying Virus


This video took a very interesting approach to cyber-bullying, by comparing it to a virus, where it is just like a virus and can spread from person to person, and even cause someone's death. The causes of cyber-bullying were portrayed through the girls from the same school as Jane, the victim, who cyber-bullied her, namely Hate, Anger, Envy, Insecurity and Peer Pressure. However, Courage, Compassion, Bravery and Hope, namely the names of the girls who stood up for Jane, are what can stop and put an end to this virus. This video has an interesting concept, and aptly shows the impacts of Cyber-bullying, and how it is very important to stand up against the hate, anger, envy, insecurity ad peer pressure circulating around the internet. This video clearly shows that the 'by-stander' has the most power, as your decision can turn the tables around. Will you chose to join in the hate, anger, insecurity and peer pressure, or will you be courageous, compassionate, brave and hopeful, and stand up in support for others? What is your decision?
