Cyberbullying



Eric gets a lot of pressure from his parents to do well in school. Other kids in school tease him because he works so hard but still gets bad poor scores. He gets instant messages and text messages during the day and at night about his poor grades. The word “loser” is in most of them, and the language becomes stronger every day. Today he received a text from a number he did not recognize, with a photo of his body with a turkey’s head. A thought bubble above the picture reads: “Why am I so STUPID? What a *!*#&** I am.” Eric thinks Alexis, the most popular girl in the eighth grade, is behind the message.
  
1. Alexis is masquerading and flaming. It is a form of cyberbullying when someone sends vulgar messages in which Alexis sent that cruel statement. Also she put that mean material about him which make that masquerading.

2.I bet that boy is thinking maybe thinking of harming himself. His parents are pressuring till the point he cant do it. Many kids put him down. He feels alone and put down. He gets mistreated.

3.Yes, I think he should tell his parents to transfer him to a new school.I think if they tell the all the students to stop it, it will just get worse.
