Cyber-Bullying space

Whether it's creating a fake Facebook or MySpace page to impersonate a fellow student, repeatedly sending hurtful text messages and images, or posting cruel comments on the Internet, cyberbullying can have a devastating effect. Nasty comments, lies, embarrassing photos and videos, and snide polls can be spread widely through instant messaging (IM) or phone texting, and by posts on social networking sites. It can happen anytime -- at school or home -- and can involve large groups of kids. The combination of the boldness created by being anonymous and the desire to be seen as “cool” can cause a kid who normally wouldn’t say anything mean face-to-face to show off for other kids. And because it's happening in cyberspace, it's almost always completely undetectable by parents and teachers.

Nothing crushes kids’ self-confidence faster than humiliation. And just imagine a public humiliation sent instantly to everyone they know. Sadly, hurtful information posted on the Internet is extremely difficult to prevent or remove, and millions of people can see it. Most cyberbullying happens when adults aren’t around, so parents and teachers often see only the depression or anxiety that results from being hurt or bullied. This emotional damage can last a lifetime.

Cyber-bullying

A student is bombarded by anonymous threatening and taunting emails at home, even though there is no direct harassment at school. The victim has no idea who is sending the messages and starts to feel like everybody is against them. That student is being cyberbullied.

A school bulletin board is spammed with name-calling posts that spread vicious rumors about a specific student. The rumors aren’t true but kids at school see the posts and believe them. The student is then ostracized by peers. This student is the victim of cyberbullying.

A nasty fake profile is posted at a social networking site using a student’s real name, photo, and contact information. That student starts getting weird email messages from strangers who think the profile is real. Some of the messages are crude. Some of the messages are mean. This is another example of cyberbullying.

These are just a few examples of cyberbullying. If you are taking part in things like this it is not harmless fun. You are being a cyberbully. If you are the victim of this type of treatment you are being cyberbullied and there are things you can do to stop the harassment.

Hypochondriasis

Sometimes, some peoples are preoccupation or worry about friend and family. It is call hypochondria or hypochondria.

Hypochondriasis is referring to excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness. Hypochondria persist even after a physician has evaluated a person and reassured them that their concerns about symptoms do not have an underlying medical basis or, if there is a medical illness and it give serious and damage to a person. A person with hypochondria continues thinking he is poisonous ill despite appropriate medical evaluations and reassurances that his health is fine.

A person with hypochondria will think such normal bodily functions as heart beats, sweating and bowel movements are symptoms of a serious illness or condition.

Even minor abnormalities, such as a runny nose, slightly swollen lymph nodes and a small sore are seen as symptoms of something really serious. A person with hypochondria may also use vague phrases - he may say he has tired veins or a sore liver. It is not uncommon for people with hypochondria to focus on one particular organ, such as the lungs, or just one disease, such as cancer. Even after tests come back negative, their anxiety continues to be high and their desire for more physical attention grows.

We are not sure how many people suffer from hypochondria. A sufferer usually sees his primary care physician (General Practitioner), rather a mental health care professional - hence, a diagnosis of hypochondria is often not made. It is estimated that between 0.8% and 8.5% of the US adult population suffers from hypochondria. Approximately the same number of men and women suffer from hypochondria.

The advancements in computer technology in the late 20th century greatly changed the way we live. The development of the Internet and the invention of the World Wide Web allowed instant communication and access to information from around the world.

Educators and parents worry about the appropriateness of the content children can access on the Internet.
 New technologies have been developed to help teachers curb the rampant plagiarism and other cheating the Internet has fostered. The popularity of social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace have raised new fears about child predators, loss of privacy, and cyberbullies.

Dear Val,

   Hello, my name is Kelly. I’m a freshman in the John Carroll School. I’m Korean and stayed in Canada for 2 years and transferred from Canada to the United States. I live in Bel  Air, Maryland. When I was reading   this book, it was really sad and I enjoyed in Hate List by Jennifer Brown. The Hate List told about your life story, violence, and the list.

 You always wrote a person’s name when you hate a person. I want to follow your act because I hate a person, sometimes. I don’t like Christy because she was annoying you and calling you nickname, Sister Death. She broke your mp3 in the bus. If she broke your mp3, I’m really going to give her what-for. Anyway, are you and your leg okay? I heard that you injured your leg by a robber that shot your leg. I’m worried about your leg but your leg is healed now.

I heard the news that Nick died. He killed everybody and hit Christy because of the list you helped create. You both made a list of people and things you hated. Nick used the list to pick his targets and killed people and now he is dead. I heard news that you made- up with Jessica. I think Jessica wants to make friends with you.

After I read this book, I learned about friends and family. I hoped you will be happy. Bye
