Students Take On Cyberbullying
When Facing History teachers Jamie Lott and Mary Sok asked their World Cultures class about bullying at their school, the class described the hallways as safe. But after listening to a presentation given by hate crimes task force officer Dave D'Amico, they started a discussion about the widespread problem of online bullying, and how they as a class could take the first steps toward preventing it.

Always Tell an Adult. They will always help! :)
We should have these
We should have these anti-bullying laws in every state. Nobody should have to go through these experiences. Young people today are so mean, they don't care who they hurt nor do they face any consequences. I have never been personally bullied but I have been able to stand up for some. I don't believe that I have done enough or do as much as I should for this cause. I promise to all of the people who are being bullied or feel like they have nobody to turn to that they are always able to confide in me or lean on me for support. I hope that everyone will start fighting this. When people start to lose their lives, it is time to do something. One big factor is that parents don't punish their kids. The kids see parents being bullies and that is a huge contributing factor. Maybe we as parents need to set better examples. I am only 20 years old but I am a mother of a 10 month old precious baby girl. I don't want her growing up in a community like this. I don't want her to grow up and not love herself or her life. For my daughters sake, or any other future children and for anyone..I will stand up and fight for what I believe in. It is truly heartbreaking and feels like a heavy burden that I have started to carry. I feel it is my duty to help people going through this. Everyone should feel this way. I intend on pursuing this to the best of my ability.
Ive heard about
Ive heard about bullying, saw it too. I just have one thing to say. DO NOT CARE. Never care about what others say. You are you, and thats all that matters.
No.
No, that is not how it works. You're an idiot, if you were being harassed constantly everyday, everywhere, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't just be able to ignore and "be yoursef".
Inspiring
I wish Dave D'Amico would come and speak at my school !
None

DA is doing nothing to stop cyberbullying
I have been a member of this group for years, loving all of the different artwork of characters i know and getting to know artist's own original characters. However recently, after an incident where i commented on wishing to add Jade from Jackie Chan Adventures along with a picture of two other women named Jade, people i have never even met are slandering me and calling me a pedophile, posting slam pages with links to my page on their own blogs to constantly harrass me to no end.
And despite the fact i block these peope one after another for the past month, i have been informing the Admins of DA of this constant harrassment, posting many incident reports, and informing them that just blocking them is not doing enough. I have not heard a single word back from them that they are doing anything to fix the problem. I have sent in at least 30 reports of this constant slander and harrassment in less than week and they still have not even contacted me back once.
I wish to report that Deviantart appears to be doing absolutly nothing to stop Cyberbullying.
cyberbullied
When I was in 8th grade, three girls posted a video making fun of me...they called me mean words. They posted it on everyone's wall and everybody commented agreeing. I took it to the school board and the three girls were all expelled out of the school system, and I eventually got off my depression medication. DON'T LET THE SAME HAPPEN TO YOU. TAKE IT TO THE SCHOOL. ALWAYS TALK TO A FRIEND OR A TRUSTED ADULT!
