Bullying lesson- Becca Snyder
Today in technology class we watched a video about bullying and a kid named Jack who was bullied. In this video we were taught about the eye emoji as a tool online to show web trolls that we see their bullying. This tool is a way to stop bullying or at least stop being a silent bystander. This video reminds me that there is always a way to stop bullying and help people who are being bullied. The eye emoji is an action online to prevent further bullying.
The second part of the activity was to google ourselves and a partner. When I googled myself I didn't find any pictures of myself but I found lots of other people. Based on those pictures of others I look like a fun party girl. I also look friendly and family oriented.
The goal of internet trolls is to make others feel badly about themselves in order to feel better about their life. Internet trolls try to keep online anonymity. A good part about online anonymity is that no one knows who you are, so people can't stalk you. A bad part about it is that it encourages bullying behavior because no one knows who's behind the screen and if someone is in trouble online you don't know who you're reaching out to.
