Cyberbullying- 5 Point plan of attack for children under age of 18

To all my dearest friends and online peers, I have been studying the scary world that we live in. This includes children much younger than us that are facing harassment online. All we are trying to do is interact online with each other and have fun.  Unfortuantely friends, I moved to South Carolina and cannot communicate with you face-to-face, unless it is during my family visits to Indiana. I am sad to inform you that there is evil facing us everywhere and this evil is only idenfied through electronic numbers and addresses.  I invite you to review the following statistical information, which should be alarming to you.

• In 2014, 52% of all children under the age of 18 have been Cyberbullied 
• Gender, race, social class DOES NOT MATTER to the bully.
• From 2012 to 2013, Cyberbulling rose 87%

                                                    (nobullying, par.1-4, 2014)


I have recently learned that one of my good friends has been bullied through electronic media. He had contacted me for support.  I gave him the following five points of action to end this cyber criminals actions.

1. Tell your parents.
2. Collect all information and make copies.
3. Contact law enforcement.
4. Change telephone numbers, user names and passwords online.
5. Report incidents to the onsite administrator for the website or social media outlet that the incident occured or is occurring.

I ask that you take this opportunity to become an advocate for all the children that cannot stand-up for themselves.  Let's make today, the last day for tolerating any negative behaviors from anyone, especially faceless cyber crinimals. I have inserted two different games to play, which can help the awareness campaign and be performed offline.

Personal touch - Has all cyber communication gone robotic?

With the fast pace creation of the world wide web and the enhancements of the speed and performance both uploading and downloading, entrepreneurs now have the ability to compete internationally with a small business.  Many people are able to communicate politically correct and review what they have written prior to posting a response to a customer or critic.
The art of debate over the cyber world, allows many individuals to re-think their position prior to hitting enter.  On the flip side of the coin, there are many drawbacks for communication that include the physical touch or the emotional attachment consumers desire.  This is very true for the baby boomer generation, which typically purchase from brick and mortar stores.  In my opinion, the technology improvement has allowed students to be able to design and bring forward their expertise with the world and demonstrate through video's, blogs, and social media, their individuality.
From my viewpoint, there is additional social interaction that happens beyond written communication.  Most non-verbal queues need to be looked at as they bring more depth to the conversation and instantly you can see whether they are engaged in the conversation or are thinking about something else. Student's skill writing capability are increasing as they are able to display their creativity and frankness within the documents they create.
I believe the real challenge that exists today with technology advances is not the written word, but the ability to calculate out change for customer's when the computer is down or a calculator is not available.  There is a larger debate on learning multiplication tables than just knowing how to use the functions on the calculator. In the end, each generator is different in their communication styles and personalities adjust as we age; thus it is more difficult to communicate through generations no matter what has happened in technology.
