After watching the video "Growin Up Online" I feel sad. Cyberbullying is always happening but there's never really a way to know unless the person being bullied opens up, which they most likely won't. The internet wants to make everyone fit in to society so some come to bring themselves to be someone there not. I think that's okay because we should be able to show our other personalities and do whatever we'd like, but I think these girls go a little overboard. Unlike these girls who make themselves fit in some people just don't feel they belong so they end their lives. They simply can't handle the pressure of being bullied, made fun of, or not even being able to fit in. It saddens me that the youth of today feel it's funny to make fun of the kids who "aren't normal" without thinking about the consequences or the effects of their actions. I wasn't really able to relate to anyone because I make sure to interact only with people I know and the people I have confidence in; therfore, I know i can talk to them without being made fun of or believing I have to "fit in."
