Cyber-bullying: Knock it off!

Cyber-bullying: When somebody is bullied on the Internet.

   I have a friend that gets bullied a lot because he is slightly different from other people. When he posts videos, there are a ton of mean, nasty, and hideous comments. They were horrible! That is something that most people think is cool. But really, it's dumb. Just like regular bullying. Mean comments easily produce when you are trying to be funny. What I'm saying is, you can post videos and pics of you being funny. It's interesting and entertaining. But sometimes, bad comments will occur. Just ignore whatever mess they have to say to you, and, if you have the ability, delete those nasty comments. 

  Just keep in mind that you need to stand up for yourself. Say something mean in a nice way. Here's an example:

What you want to say: You're so stupid and you seriously need to get your hideous self off my profile! And if you don't, I'll start hurting you more than you ever hurt me!

A nicer way to say that: May you please stop posting mean comments? You wouldn't like it if I said that to you, would it?

You need to say it nicer because it you say it in a mean way, the bully will think that you are up for competition when you are really only trying to stand up for yourself.
