cyber bullying is a big deal

I will just post my final argument and final thoughts. Cyber Bullying isn't a serious problem or a big deal at all. As proved by me and my opponent it is just a side effect of uncaring parents or school staff members. It really is only as bad as smoking your basic cigarette in school. Something that needs to be stopped, but not a real serious problem at all. I remember seeing the ABC family movie "Cyberbully". That was a pretty bad movie because it made the main girl look so stupid that everything that did happen to her she deserved. She created a social network profile and put down all her real information. Anyone who had decent parents growing up should have been told not to talk to strangers. This rule always applies. When you are on the Internet you are basically out in public. Anything you say or anything you do the world can see. If I go to a neighborhood with high black person population and yell out racist or bigoted remarks anything that happens to me is my own fault. Sure the ones that may attack me probably shouldn't but I did invite my possible attackers because of my own actions. The same for the girl in the movie. She posted her real information and invited all the attacks one her. Even worse there was a part in the movie where either her friend or her mother had to physically remove her from the computer because she was some sort of masochist or a glutton for punishment. I don't claim to be a expert of social networks because I myself don't use them. The few times I have used my friends or my brothers Facebook though I noticed you can set your profile to private, so only the people you allow can see or post on your facebook page. You can block and remove people that you don't like or report them. These are all basic features of all social networks. A person should never feel cyber bullied because of these features. If all else fails you can always delete your account or unplug the Internet. It is funny. I feel like some ninety something year old man when I say "back in my day we didn't let people bully us online. " It is funny to say that because I am not some ninety something year old man and THIS IS MY DAY. Why are allowing the weakest and most pathetic of the Internet push us when we have the power. I mean I can insult a MS-13 gang member right now and as long as they don't have some crazy good hacker I don't have to worry about waking up tomorrow with a Colombian neck tie. It is just that simple. As long as you can remember the simple rules of the Internet you will be fine. Don't act like Alexandra Wallace or any other stupid person. Remember that when you are online you are in public. You must also remember that just like in public everyone is a stranger. Don't go talking to people and telling them all of your personal information and that is basically it. I think just about every time a kid has brought a gun or a weapon to their school they did it because of a real life physical bully. Columbine didn't happen because the boys that shot up their school were social outcast online. They might have had plenty of friends online that didn't know who they were and only knew them by their Internet handles. They did what they did because of real world bullies and problems. That is what the serious problem is. A real world bully that you can't block or ignore. A real world bully that kids wake up to daily when they go to school. A real world bully that kids hope and pray is sick that day or wish death/injury upon because they are just that bad. While I still don't think you should even allow a real world bully to drive you to kill yourself; the fact is that a real world bully is more of a threat then someone on the Internet. There is really nothing else I can say except I feel that this was pretty pointless. Everything I have said is all pretty much common knowledge. If you don't know how to deal with a cyberbully then you are probably hopeless. I can't say anything else without sounding like a broken record repeating the same simple facts on why a cyberbully is nothing.
