Reflection's Tiltle: Cyber bullying makes the world go wild.
Advanced technology makes the world go round and makes the world go wild. In this sentence, the meaning of “advanced technology makes the world go wild” means that the development of technology such as computers have cause the people to have the audacity to use technology on bad intentions. I believe that cyber bullying is quite common in the world nowadays and it has become a worrying problem for parents. Parents fear that their child might become the next innocent victim of cyber bullying and are at a lost of what to do to protect their beloved child.
By referring to this article, I think that there would be more people who would become the victims of cyber bullying and the more problems would rise. Personally, I have thought of a few problems that might develop from the victim.
Firstly, if the anonymous bullies online have hurt the victims deeply through the use of vulgarities of drawings over a long period of time, the chances of the victim committing suicide would be high. The reason is because they might not be able to take the blow of these discriminations, thus causing them to seek the pessimistic way out. Innocent lives are lost in just a few minutes time, in a few seconds. The victims’ death would be a great blow to their families’ members. Thus, the bullies are just causing the victim’s misery while they are enjoying the process of bullying.
Secondly, even though the victims’ teachers and friends did not harm them in any way, the victims would still develop fear towards them. This would cause them to be anti-social and would always hide at one corner, in fear that others would hurt them again. Some of them might develop hatred towards the people around them and the cycle of cyber bullying would never ends. If the victims are anti-social and have fear communicating with others, this would cause them to have great difficulty in looking jobs in the future.
Thirdly, I think that the insult towards the victims, in terms of appearance or academically, would cause the victims to lose confidence and feel inferior because they think their friends better than them in any ways. They might also think that they are such a failure in life and have no confidence at all. Often, these cyber bullying victims whom are criticized by other people in terms of their looks would be the gullible ones. Thus, others could easily trick them, which doubled their misery.
I think that it would be a difficult task if we hoped to stop all these act of cyber bullying because teenagers nowadays use Internet almost everyday, thus increasing their chance of getting bullied online. However, if we persist on and try to stop all these cyber bullying, we would succeed.
The first step would start from the parents. Parents can actually look out for their child’s behaviour, especially if their child seems extremely upset after using their computers. These might be signs of cyber bullying victims. However, I think the best way to prevent more teenagers from becoming victims of cyber bullying would be to ensure that parents could show their care and concern towards their children everyday. Parents could also communicate with their children more often, so that they would know what problems their children are facing.
Secondly, I think that the victims can try to ignore all the nasty comments towards them. This might be a difficult task but I think it would be the most efficient way out. I think that if we are not satisfied of whom we can, we would definitely be deeply hurt by the negative comments towards us. We live for ourselves and not for others. Thus, we should stay positive and calm of the comments by other people.
Personally, I think that all these advanced technology have caused much harm to people. However, technology has benefited us in many ways and has caused our world to be a better place to be. I think that the bullies are just a group of immature people whom use their Internet access for bad intentions.
In my opinion, I think that we should not criticize our friends through any means because this would only hurt our friends’ feelings and it would not benefit us either. If we are displeased with our friends, we should always talk to them personally. Even though it would still hurt their feelings, but I think they would change for the better and all of us would still be friends again.
Other than cyber bullying, all other acts of bullying are also discouraged. Bullying would neither make you nor the victim feel good, thus we should get rid of these bullying acts and make this world “bully-free”. With no bullies in this world, it will make our world a better place to be in.
