The New Bully at School
by Lucas Chen
Why do so many teens cyberbully? How does it feel to be their target? Here are answers from two teens— one a bully, the other a victim.
17-year-old girl from Pennsylvania:“ I recently picked on an old friend of mine, for what I will not reveal because it was unusually cruel. However, she had done something to me that was equally as wrong, if not worse. I decided not to be a friend any longer and I spread her deepest secrets to everyone. I felt somewhat guilty … at the same time, it was a payback.”
14-year-old girl from New Jersey:
“ Being bullied over the Internet is the worst. It’ s torment and it hurts. They say,‘ sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.’ That quote is a lie, and I don’ t believe in it. Sticks and stones may cause nasty cuts and scars, but those cuts and scars will heal. Insulting words hurt and sometimes take forever to heal.”
Cyberbullying has become a significant part of teen social life. At the same time, it has invaded school life. Most cyberbullying is done off school property, but much of the hurt, mockery, and revenge it creates takes place at school. So where does a school’ s responsibility for cyberbullying start, and where does it stop?
Cyberbullying has a damaging impact on victims.
