Cyber Bulling

Cyber bullying keeps getting worse and worse. Facebook is a wonderful example of this. I am a grow woman and only have friends on facebook that are adults, but I still see cyber bullying on this site! I would think people would know better. For example, one person (who was "de-friended"), wrote very disrespectful and rude comments about a neighbor of ours (who is the mother of someone we grew up with) on her news feed. Knowing that this person, her kids, and friends would read it. She got mad because this woman asked her dad to stop cutting her grass. So she bullied her on facebook and called her horrible words! This same person, will then turn around and talk about how awful bullying is and she was bullied when she was a young girl! Do people think it is not bullying, because it is done online and not to their face? My point is, is that cyber bullying is not only something that children do, but adults as well. I do not understand this. Everyone can read what you write, does that not just make the bullier look bad? I stopped being her friend because of this, does she not think that others will do the same? Cyber bullying needs to stop and it does not look like children have great role models to look to for this!
