Who Am I Online? Ashley De La Cruz

In class, we watched a video about bullying. There was a little boy that was getting bullied before school, during school, and after school. There was an eye icon that appeared during some parts of the video. If you clicked on the eye, then something would prevent the little boy from getting bullied. For example, after school, the boy was walking home but he had a sign on his back. The sign said, "kick me", if you clicked the eye icon, then the bullies walking behind him would come up and take the sign off and be nice to him. However, if you didn't click on the eye, then the bullies would come up to him and kick him, like the sign said. When I think of bullying, I often think about others not doing anything to prevent bullying. I also often think about suicides, because bullying is often what leads to someone deciding to take their life away. Online, I appear to be a transgender model, even though I am not. There are also Facebook profiles from people named Ashley De La Cruz, which aren't mine, because I don't have a Facebook. I think if someone didn't know who I was, and they decided to look me up online, they might think that I am a transgender model, but I doubt it because I don't model. The goal of an internet troll is to create drama by making up false statements or accusations, in order to stir up controversy on someone. Something positive about online anonymity is that you can talk about something personal, like bullying issues, physical abuse issues, or any other thing, without using your real identity, so that it doesn't affect your daily life. Something negative about online anonymity is that if someone is being rude, disrespectful, or inappropriate towards someone else, you won't know who the person is because they are anonymous.
