Today, I had to complete an assignment about an issue in social media. I then had to talk about the issue on a podcast. I surprisingly had some fun with this assignment. The topic that I chose to talk about what cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a huge issue in the world today and sadly it will only keep growing based on the development of social media nowadays. According to stopbullying.org, cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. This bullying is “popular” because there is no retaliation involved. People can just hide behind a screen and belittle someone without any repercussions. People also do this many times because there are fewer emotions involved. The person doing the bullying can’t see the reactions of the victim. The person bullying doesn’t necessarily have any guilt about it because they can’t see the reactions. I personally have come over many forms of cyberbullying in my life growing up with social media. I have seen the damage of what it can do on people, and I have seen the person bullying show no remorse. If you are being cyberbullied, you should speak up. If you don’t speak up and suffer in silence nothing will get done and you will continue to get worse. It is of utmost importance that we stop cyberbullying at all costs because it is damaging people and damaging lives.

I am also on football so the time where I could be doing homework and catching up on some sleep, I am at football and devote my time to that. Even though many students are not in athletics I can tell many of them are mentally drained. Many students are starting to not give sufficient effort to homework or exams anymore because they are just tired of it. I know I fall right into that category. These are a couple reasons why I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Having the opportunity to go home for a week and b...
