Summary :
Sites like Ask.fm have experienced what can go
wrong when behavior turns into dangerous bullying. Social networking sites have
made cruelty and meanness public. Previously these acts were invisible, now
they are at display to all. There are different views on what to do with this
visibility. A negative message that is one-to-one might sting a little bit but
at least you weren’t humiliated in front of a large audience. With these public
apps, not only are kids humiliated in front of strangers, but they go to school
and are humiliated there, too.
Opinion:
In my opinion, sites should ban those users
that use vulgarities , make rude and mean remarks. This will ensure that the users will not feel hurt and can use the
sites with out worrying of any comments or rumours. Parents should also check
on their child to see if they are being bullied online and try to help them.
Children should also seek help once they have been bullied online so before it
gets very serious.
