Cyberbullying has become a widespread problem for our youth.
I do not believe that banning anonymous comments on the Internet will reduce
cyberbullying. If a child or teen wants to say something hurtful or bully
someone I do not believe that remaining anonymous will change their mind.
There are both positive and negative aspects of remaining anonymous on
the Internet. A positive aspect would be that you are able to be
completely honest about your feelings in any situation. Negative aspects of
remaining anonymous are that there are no repercussions to the comments
that you post.
Your privacy is very important but there are times that
it is not best for the well-being of others. If there are stricter guidelines
and stronger punishments, then the public may think twice before bullying on
the Internet. Parents can help with cyberbullying by monitoring
their children’s Internet activity. It should not be considered normal for anyone
to cause harm to another person whether it is physical or emotional.
