Suspects responsible for recent cyberbullying attacks targeting State College Area School District students were identified Tuesday. Superintendent Bob O’Donnell said more than one person ran a Twitter account called @SCHateTweets, which posted its first tweet Thursday. State College Police Chief Tom King said at least two people set up the account, but neither he nor O’Donnell would confirm that they were students. The account targeted about 50 State High students, Principal Scott DeShong and O’Donnell. The tweets ranged from attacking students’ personalities and appearances to alleging sexual promiscuity and drug use. --(State College, PA) Centre Daily Times, December 16, 2014
cyberbullying faceless gutless soulless cowardice
hiding behind internet smokescreen anonymity
provides abusers pretending they’re tough
actually insecure unhappy social outcasts
malicious rumors taunts vile put-downs
transmitted through email instant messaging
chat room exchanges digital images
sent to victim’s cellular phone
cyberstalking is equal opportunity offender
knowing no geographical socio-cultural bounds
don’t live in shell of
silence tell someone report crime
reportedly over half of adolescents
have been harassed or participated
in cruel denigrating online attacks
inflicting emotional distressful psychological trauma
girls are about twice as
likely as boys to be
cyberbully victims and perpetrators also
more likely to contemplate suicide
people who love themselves won’t
belittle others knowing what’s right
doesn’t mean much unless you
do what’s right – stop cyberbullying!
