The topic of this
essay is what parents should do when they see signs or when a child tells you
they are being bullied on social media. I believe the writer’s purpose is to
show parents what to see and do when their child is being bullied. The writer states; Tips for
children who experience cyber bullying: Avoid
responding or retaliating directly with the bully, since direct responses often
reinforce the behavior. Block the bully's messages or delete them without
reading them. Work with parent(s) to notify the media site of the cyber
bullying, since social media service providers often can internally address
bullying on their site, as well. Consider working with school officials
regarding ways they can help address the issue. Keep passwords completely secret
from everyone, except parents. Consider keeping a log of the bullying events.
This can help law enforcement intervene in the case of later escalation of
bullying into overt threats. The
writer concludes that parents should be alert when they see their children
acting a different way. Pediatricians encourage parents to ask if they are
being bullied online. Telling them they want to help in any way shape or form.
From calling the police to just a simple hug when they are crying.
The usefulness of this journal is that it will help parents see what is happening in their own child`s life.
