well i think i just saw the craziest commercial that has ever been made, it starts off with a girl walking on a stage and then she goes to the microphone and starts ready a story, in the story she is totally bashing another girl in her class, throughout this whole thing they flash to the girl who is being made fun of and she looks like she is about to cry. then at the end of this commercial some text flashes on the screen saying " You wouldnt say it in real life" " Dont Type it" " Stop Cyber Bullying" EDIT: found the site of the people that are pushing this.. they have the add streaming. http://www.ncpc.org/media/cyberbullying.php all i have to say to this is wow, just wow i guess people are actually bridging that gap between the internet and the real world and its sad.... just sad..... anyone else seen this commercial? what are your thoughts?
it's bull----. you don't have to read insults if you don't want to. get over yourself, if you're such a nerd that you get picked on online that's sad. Go outside and run a ------ing mile.
Most of the time, insults are deserved. Unless the person dishing out insults is like Maddox. But 80% of the time, a person has to do something to deserve bullying.
Well what if they keep sending emails, or keep hacking into your account or post pictures of you on bad websites? Its not that black and white xelink.
well to an extent i understand that this is becoming a problem with the amount of kids being connected to the internet (wifi, cell phones, laptops etc) the technology world and the real world are growing closer and closer.
i don't really see the problem. "if you wouldn't say it in person, why say it online?" come on, give me a break. As if kids are nicer to each other when they talk in person. The people i have and allways had on my msn, were my friends. People that call you names and make fun of you, aren't friends, so why have them on msn in the first place? I know kids are vulnerable in their youth, but bullying is from all times, not only from this time. It's a lame excuse to point fingers. Just like gaming and aggression. I also believe that if you get/got bullied, it is/was your own fault. Everyone has things that aren't perfect, but not everyone gets bullied. That's because the people that don't get bullied don't hide and cry in a corner when someone says something bad, they fight it and prove they aren't as stupid as the other thought. Today's society is all about standing up for yourself and fight for what you stand for. If you can't do that, then you're not ready for the society.
@ LA-384 i completely agree that this is 120% rediculous, but i think that this is more directed twoards kids who post negative things about each other on websites and myspace more then it is MSN or AIM. Merged Post: stupid pointless spam, GTFO
SO IM NOT ALLOUD TO EXPRESS MY LAUGHTER BY MASHING THE KEYS? GROW UP SUN... LET ME RE-EXPLAIN MY POST IN LESS DETAIL IT WENT A LITTLE LIKE ROFL HAHA
Wow the world is becoming stupid. Why would they even compare the internet to real life? just ------ing stupid.
