            I’d like to argue that with you knowing the signs of a cyber bullying situation, you will more likely be able to prevent the situation from occurring. Therefore, I’d research the signs and some ways of preventing cyber bullying in order to better understand it. I’d also research certain websites and places in which cyber bullying commonly occurs. Social websites, Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace, are three common sites that I would put most focus on. I’d research past cyber bullying situations and see at what site it started at and then I would compare each situation from past to present.

            I’d research past cyber bullying statistics to see how by knowing how to catch the signs help to prevent cyber bullying. I’d compare those statistics to those who don’t know that someone is being bullied, to better prove that knowing the signs helps better prevent the situation from occurring. I’d also research on the most common victims, like adults, teenagers, or children. I’d check on specific examples of victims and bullies from possible interviews or reports. I’d also check to see if there were any reports of suicides or deaths of victims of cyber bullying.

Punishment to cyber bullies could also be researched, because it’s important if we want cyber bullying to stop. Therefore, I’d research certain laws and maybe past situations to see how the cyber bullies were punished. I’d research how cyber bullying compares to any other bullying situation. I’d also research the school districts and areas that cyber bullying commonly occur. This way I can describe how an environment affects people’s behavior making them more likely to become a cyber bully. There is actually much to be researched on about cyber bullying, but I’d like to just put primary focus around ways of preventing it.
