What is cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying

Cyber; to mean electronically, by way of virtual computer over the internet or airwaves.

Cyberbullying is bullying by texting and emailing people to embarrass them and hurt their feelings. Texting is the most popular way.

Cyber or internet bullying is where you are being bullied over the computer. This can be done by people leaving messages on websites, Bebo's, Facebook, my-space and even general bullying over messenger programs.

This can really hurt a persons feelings and is not a good thing to do as it just shows cowardliness. Most bullies, when stood up to, will back off and leave you alone.

If you are being bullied you can however save the comments or conversation and show it to police officers. It is unlikely that they will do a lot but it can result in them confiscating the bully's computer and things similar to that.

Cyberbullying is when you go to places like chat rooms, or other places where you can connect with people and the people that you talk to say mean things or offensive types of stuff or sometimes sexual comments and things that just make you feel uncomfortable. An example would be if you were talking to someone you didn't know in a chat room and they say " GIVE ME YOUR ADDRESS OR I WILL COME AND KILL YOU!" something like that. It is very scary and cyberbullying should be stopped and if that is happening to you, tell someone you trust and let them take care of it and don't go to that place again!

What is cyber corps?

I am a Post Graduate of an NSA Center of Excellence (COE). I graduated in 2004.

On its simplest level, the Cyber corps was the first program on the cutting edge, along with the DoD Scholarship for Service.

Whereas DoD had the funds to sponsor a handful of individuals the time, the Cyber corp came out of National Security Agency (NSA). NSA worked through the National Science Foundation (NSF) and subsequently NSF, OPM, became the face of Cyber corps. DHS, IRS, NAS, Department of energy were prime grounds for a graduate, but some PH.D student didn't see the reason to take a government job starting at $32K .

I ended up in some 9th tier organization who was always in the basement and didn't go along with recommendations, were fairly clueless when it came to user problems, alone LAN and Network troubleshooting. I was there for about two months. The clincher for me was when a worker across from my cube bent over to me and gave me the following advice "Why work so hard. Do 102 things a day, you know an email to the high level & phone talk nonstop. She said "why bust your butt when you can get it the easy way".

I left and to make a long story short became a 1099 and worked where and when I wanted. It was fair - I did a good job and they paid me top dollar.

I managed to get the funding forgiven by OPM since I was a pioneer in the field as a contractor, and they soon changed it up so you're not ties to Gov't. service.

If you would like more info, head to the NSA, DHS, OPM and NSF websites and with my "brief" narrative it will make sense.

Should you call a crisis hotline number and talk to them-Are they actually really kind?

* If an individual is having problems and needs an outsiders help such as a Crisis Hot Line they are wise to choose a good one (call your telephone operator for the number for a good one.) I worked for a Crisis Hot line for two years and we were trained to take each call very seriously; especially threats of suicide. Often the person calling in can be frantic, screaming, crying, yelling, swearing or, they can be extremely quiet and not respond well to questions. For any person working for a Crisis Hot Line to be rude and uncaring they should be reported. If you get the right one they certainly can help and give you great advice. If you choose not to go this route, then you can choose someone on this site to discuss your problems with. You can also choose a relative or good friend that you trust. Schools have counselors, or you can seek help through Mental Heath (just call your telephone operator for the number.) Most people truly do care.

How can gossip lead to suicide?

  • Humans of any age like to feel they are well thought of and when other people tell untruths about them or gossip and say terrible things about them constantly then especially students have a difficult time over hearing the gossip and having to face their peers every day in school. This causes some students to become depressed and withdrawn. A particular person may just go home and listen to music and withdraw from life, but also become lonely and feel no one cares for them and that they will never fit in and they always have the fear of what new gossip may occur. The stress can be too much for certain people and can lead to suicide. However, it is important to know that there are few bullies in schools or only one or two groups of so called 'elite' or the 'beautiful people' and it's highly important to know that there are other students or other people that the bullied person can make friends with. It is wise to ignore the gossip because the person being bullied knows who they truly are and to understand school is not forever. Being gossiped about is not reason to commit suicide. It is wise to talk to a family member or a good friend. Everyone has one friend. If not in school then face your accusers and be calm, but tell them you know who and what you are and they can gossip all they like; then walk away. There is always someone at school or in a crowd anywhere that will come forward and stand up for the person being verbally bullied. Gossip can only continue if the others in the group or the on lookers allow it to happen. Most people have been gossiped about or bullied at least once in their lifetime.
