                                             Summary
The advanced technology is beginning to take a toll on the kids and  it is starting to affect kids. While reading the article you can tell how much cyberbullying is actually beginning to occur throughout schools, mainly because of how much technology has advanced over the past few years. It is more likely to occur during a child's adolescent years in Middle School and  High School, which is the data that they have officially came up with. In the article it also states different ways and who may be encouraging students to be involved in cyberbullying.Not only are we given the percentage of kids that admit that they have been cyber-bullyed or have been the ones doing the bullying but we are also given what gender and what race may be doing it the more than the others.

This article was written by Sameer Hinduja back in 2013, and all though it is a little older she does gives us many valid points. She puts into perspective how much technology has taken over, and just show much is starting to affect children in a negative matter. Sameer tells everyone how she and others believe that is the root of cyberbullying, which begins with the peers at school and even some parents and teachers that may encourage kids to post mean things on the Internet, about the adults or even classmates. It gives us percentages that show us about how many kids are being bullied online or are doing the bullying themselves. With the percentages being from 2013 they may be a little different now, but they are still a very good way to see how things were just three short years ago.

                                            Summary
If you really begin to think about cyberbullying, a virus may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but that is how this video puts it in perspective. The video shows how cyberbullying may first begins and how it tends to spread, just like a virus. In many ways cyberbullying really is a type of never-ending virus that will not stop until somebody is capable of doing something and getting rid of it. Which in this case would be to stand up for the person that is getting bullied. The video puts into Which is what this video is trying to say about viruses and cyberbullies.

This video is a public service announcement that was uploaded by Daniel Fraser in 2013, and it is a video that I truly believe that many must pay attention to and learn from. It puts cyberbullying in a different type of perspective by putting it in a sense of a virus. Doing that may make many people including myself think a lot about cyberbullying in a way that one may have never done before, and its amazing how much this video made me think about the bigger issue. Just like a virus can be taken away so can the bully on the other side of the screen, even the other way around a virus can easily kill a computer so in a sense could be driving a person to suicide, if you really stop to think about it.

                              Reflection on Cyberbullying:
I truly believe that cyberbullying is something that kids now a days should really learn more about, its amazing how much cyberbullying has progressed over the past few years with all the different types of social medias. I have noticed over the past few years that cyberbullying doesn't just happen between students at school but everywhere else in the world, between celebrities, teachers, and like the article student vs. teacher interactions. I for one never took my problems about a teacher to the internet, so it amazes me how some people are able to do that. In the video it shows how cyberbullying is in many ways similar to a virus, and I have never thought about it that way up until now, and it was truly an eye opener.
