Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles” II. How to prevent Cyberbullying People are commonly punished for bypassing. (Bypassing= changing the appearence of a usual censored word to avoid the filter) Often there are times where people cannot be punished for what they're saying. Those times are during PM (Private Messaging). Times where they can be punished are when its visible to the public. “People cannot be punished if its not visible to the public.” A lot of bypassing and cyberbullying can happen in club chat, tutor chat, pm, and in gift messages. Heres the best options. For club chat : Leave the club For tutor chat: Try and find a new tutor or if you cant, ignore tc or you can reset(Recommended if the victim has low kcs/stats) or downgrade your stats(Recomended only if you have enough money to upgrade back to where you were after finding a new pupil). For pm: Block the offender For gifts: Block the offender In real life, the best things to do is 1) Make copies of everything with date, times and any other information you can find. If it's over a website you can screenshot and save it to your desktop. How to take a screenshot on Mac: Press Command Shift 3 Then release all keys. Screenshot should appear on desktop.

III. Case Of Cyberbullying “Tyler Clementi, 18, was a regular freshman who was passionate about playing the violin and was still new to his gay identity. Instead of enjoying college life at Rutgers University, his first semester proved to be a living hell, one he felt he had no way of escaping. Tyler had a roommate, Dharun Ravi, who had a hard time getting along with him and realized that Tyler liked to keep to himself most of the time. When Tyler informed his roommate that he would be hosting a male guest at their dorm room and asked for some privacy, Dharun went across the hall to his friend, Molly Wei and both of them streamed a video live from Tyler’s room using Dharun’s webcam, they say Tyler kissing another man and Dharun immediately began tweeting about it to friends and other Rutgers students and possibly, the entire world. On the same night, Tyler sent a request to the school’s administration asking for a single room citing the fact that his roommate had used a webcam to spy on him. The next day, Tyler made the same notification to Dharun that he would be receiving a male guest, this time Dharun tweeted that he would be live streaming the entire sexual tryst, and invited everyone to watch, but the viewing never occurred. The next day everyone woke up to the news that Tyler Clementi had jumped off a bridge into the Hudson river, his body was found hours later. His last communication with the world was a Facebook status declaring he was jumping off the bridge and that he was sorry. Dharun and Molly were both charged with several counts, Molly made a deal to testify against Dharun for her charges to be dropped and later on Dharun was sentenced to 30 days in jail by a New Jersey judge for spying on his Tyler Clementi ‘s gay tryst. Ravi, 20, spent his 30 day jail term and was also sentenced to three years probation, ordered to complete 300 hours of community service and attend counseling programs for cyber-bullying and alternative lifestyles.” Imagine what would happen if you were trying to get a job with charges like that. What do victims of cyberbullying feel/do Long hours on the computer Closes windows on their computer when you enter room Is secretive about Internet activities Behavioral changes Is always doing homework on the Internet, but always in chat groups and getting behind with school work May find unexplained long distance telephone call charges Won't say who they are talking to May find unexplained pictures on computer Trouble sleeping Stomach and headaches Lack of appetite, throwing up Fear of going to out of the house Crying for no apparent reason Lack of interest at social events that include other students Complains of illness before school or community events often Frequent visits to the school nurse or office complaining of feeling sick Lowered self-esteem A marked change in attitude, dress or habits Unexplained broken personal possessions, loss of money, loss of personal items Stories that don't seem to make sense Acting out aggression at home Missing or incomplete school work, decreased SORRY IF ANY MISTAKES ?
Personally those who let cyber bullying get to them to the point they commit suicide need to get rid of the internet altogether. You should be comfortable in your own skin no matter what anyone else thinks of you.
You also shouldn't go the route of deciding people with fake pics, that's not cool, and you're setting yourself up to be bullied if you do that. So no I do not feel sorry for someone who shows fake photos to get approved from others, if you don't like the way you look do not share your photos.
