This video shows what cyber bullying is and how hurtful it can be to people. It shows how it can cause people to think suicide is the best way out of the problem. Not once did the girl go to an adult like a teacher or parent to talk about the problem. Although the video does show that you can report what is being said and block the people or persons who are cyber bullying you. Also that not everyone thinks those horrid things that are being said. This would be an amazing video to show to students and other children who could be part of the cyber bullying problem. The message at the end is also very important for everyone to do, report cyber bullying.
