Cyber Bullying Stories: Ashley’s New Website, Unknown to Her

This story was about a girl who just started using social media. She posted pictures on social media and another student took those pictures and made a fake account about her personal information and more. It affected her life because she started losing friends although the damage could have been way worse. This was simply caused because another child had spare time on their hands and got caught up in social media.

Lack of control played a major role in this because Ashley had no control over what the other student did. She never knew she would end up in a situation like this. Permanence played a role in this situation because the account she made was permanent and also it was public. Immediacy caused everything to be posted in a rapid amount of time without her knowing anything.

My advice to Ashley is just remain calm in this situation because you are innocent. As a person who had this happen to me is don't try to convince people who are just making the situation worse that it's not you. The best thing to do is just get the cops involved because they can trace it back to whoever did this with an instint second. So just remain calm and stay away from the people who are trying to make it worse and let a teacher know if it gets that bad!
