1. What topic in the video did you most strongly identify with and why?
2. What topic in the video was the most unlike your own experiences online and why?
3. What advice do you have to parents about kids and being online?
4. What are the biggest benefits of being online, for you, personally?
The topic in the video which I most strongly identified with was cyber bullying because they have done it to me. I gave my friend my Facebook password and she posted something bad on my wall. I think this kind of bullying is the worst, because the person who is aggressing you has the guts to say it by internet, but not to your face. In my opinion, not only can the person be affected by what the others are saying through the internet, but also, depending on what the cyber bullying is like, thanks to that, the person can also be bullied at school. This is what happened to me. I hadn't posted anything on my Facebook for a while, then my friend came and posted something on my wall. Thanks to that people at school started treating me really bad because of something I never even said.
Me having to be a totally different person when I'm on the internet, than with my friends. I have friends that care about me and show it. This
- I say to let them have passwords and their privacy but if they really want to know something ask them. If you know something is wrong, let them know that you are here for them and they will have your trust. Don't get angry with them if they don't want to share it. It's their personal life and if they want privacy they should get it.
- You can be yourself without anyone judging you. You can go to websites that relax you like Tumblr. On Tumblr you can talk to your followers about your problems without anyone having to know where you live, what you look like, what's your name etc.
- Parents can control what you do on the internet.
- The internet can be extremely dangerous.
