Oral Presentation

My Group’s theme is based on Social Media, and my topic is Cyber bullying. My oral
presentation is about Cyber bullying, what it is, how it affects the youths, why do some people bully
others and what can we do to prevent it.
Many people may have been bullied online. It is said that eighty percent of the population
are victims of Cyber bullying and the next twenty percent are suspects. Just in case you didn’t know
much about Cyber bullying you’re going to learn about it today.
So, what is Cyber bullying? According to websters Cyber bullying is a form of bullying or
harassment by using electronic devices, it is also known as online bullying. Cyber bullying has become
a very common action among teens. This is when teens go on their Social Media platforms such as
Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook, to bully others. Some of these actions are posting rumours,
threats, sexual remarks, spreading victim’s personal information and also labelling others.
How does Cyber bullying affect the young teens? Most teens experience anger, humiliation,
depression, isolation, disinterest in school or even life. One reason for this are remarks such as, “She
very ugly”, “I don’t know why she feel she better than everybody” “She need to organize that weight”,
might make the victims feel as if they did something wrong.
Why do some people bully others online? Some victims who have been bullied already, may
seek revenge instead of dealing with it in a mature way. Some may think others deserve it. Some may
be bored and looking for entertainment. But none of these examples are excuses for bullying others.
In order for us to stop or prevent Cyber bullying we need to come together. So, I pose the
question to you. What can we do to prevent Cyber bullying? Don’t respond. Sometimes a reaction is
what the suspect is looking for because it may give them the power to bully you even more. Save the
hurtful remarks people are saying and show it someone who can help you, it can be a teacher, an
adult or a friend. Tell the person to stop, you don’t have to if you don’t want to, but when you are
comfortable to do so, make it clear that you won’t be treated like that.
If someone you know is being bullied, take action, don’t let them get treated that way. If you
can’t stop it, be there for them, listen to what they have to say and see if you can help in any way, or
reach out to an adult, teacher or even a Cyber bullying campaign online to get necessary help. Bully is
never the right answer. Sop the bullying while you can.
