Facebook: New Anti-Bullying Tool

    Cyber bullying has become a major problem all across the United States. Facebook as well as Myspace
have become major sources of harassment and bullying. Cyber bullying is hard to detect and it can ruin a person not only mentally but physically as well. At a White House Conference For The Prevention Of Bullying Facebook has teamed up to prevent ways so Cyber bullying will become less of a problem in today's society. Facebook has successively found a way to report bullying.

     Reporting bullying on Facebook is quiet simple and doesn't take a lot of time. You simply go to the persons page that is bullying you and go to the reporting options interface. Within this interface there are multiple options that you can choose from. From the menu you can select to either block the person, send a private email, or report the person to facebook authorities. If you are going to report them to facebook you need to make sure that you have information to back up your information.

     I think that it is a great idea that Facebook is taking extra precautions to report and protect those that are being bullied. Facebook is the only social networking website that has taken these precautions to help protect everyone. I think that having a place to report foul behavior will cut down on Cyber bullying. It would be so nice to live in a world where there wasn't bullying or discrimination. Facebook is a genius for coming up with these safety precautions. They truly do care about there users.
