Hello!

Most of you know me as Graham, the Dutch Angel Dragon. If you know Graham, then you pretty much know me. Graham strives to make people happy. He exists to bring smiles to peoples' faces. He is here to remind you to not take life too seriously, to stop and enjoy the little things in life. As Graham, I would like to bring up a serious issue. Cyber-bullying and Cyber-Harrasment. Bullying in general is never okay, but is also easier to handle than cyber-bullying/harrasment. You see, cyber-bulling is any form of bullying from minors behind a screen. “Examples of cyber-bullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.” (according to stopbullying.gov). Cyber-Harassment is the same, but is a term used for cases involving adults. Name-calling, put-downs, threats, harassing,stalking, and much more can really hurt the victim. If you are ever not comfortable with what somebody is saying about you on the internet, ask them to stop, if they don't, it is time to take action. Don't engage in the harassment, it is guaranteed to make it worse. Don't let it get out of hand.... Don't wait. Don't let it escalate. Record the evidence, report them, and tell somebody. When it reaches a certain point, it actually becomes a crime. I have gathered a list of websites that you should all read and share. I would like you all to know that there is always somebody willing to help. If you have nobody else, please contact me. I will help you, I WILL listen. You are not alone.

QUOTES FROM THE SITES:

“"Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyberstalking. Adult cyber-harassment or cyberstalking is NEVER called cyberbullying.”
(http://stopcyberbullying.org/what_i.....g_exactly.html)

“Cyberharassment. Cyberharassment differs from cyberstalking in that it may generally be defined as not involving a credible threat. Cyberharassment usually pertains to threatening or harassing email messages, instant messages, or to blog entries or websites dedicated solely to tormenting an individual. Some states approach cyberharrassment by including language addressing electronic communications in general harassment statutes, while others have created stand-alone cyberharassment statutes.”
