October has been designated as "Anti-Bullying Month". Sometimes I think we have a month for
everything. However, this is one we
need. Physical bullying is bad and can
leave both emotional as well as physical scars.
But I often wonder with some of the directions the internet has taken,
if cyber-bullying might not inflict even deeper wounds and more lasting
scars.
As a journalist, I hold strongly
to our First Amendment rights. With rights
though, go responsibilities. It is very
easy to be act brave when you are operating under a blog alias and not your own
name. I have seen people say crude and
extremely hurtful things they would never have the courage to say if people
knew who they were—or further still if they were standing face to face with the
person. Most of these people are cowards
themselves and vent their fear of confrontation and anger by hiding behind an
internet handle. This type of bullying
has even led to the suicide of some of its recipients.
The next time you are tempted to comment or
respond anonymously…stop and ask if you would make the same comments to a
person's face. Physical bullies should
remember there is always someone bigger and tougher than they and what goes
around, comes around. It takes a much
stronger person to show restraint and mannerly behavior.
