“網”見不平，隨手舉報
花季故事

利亞喜歡用“臉譜”（Facebook）和家人朋友交流，因為她覺得外麵的世界太多紛爭了，不如待在家裏用電腦和朋友聊天、分享生活趣事更好。然而，隨著社交網絡的普及，這個原本清靜的地方也開始出現各種欺淩現象。從小被欺負的她決定不再袖手旁觀——
At first， I spent about four to six hours a day on Facebook， mostly messaging family and old or new friends. I liked being able to talk to my friends from home， because people were always fighting outside.
But you couldn’t get away from fighting， even on Facebook. People 1）posted videos of fights or kids being bullied， or shared someone’s photo without their 2）permission， spreading bad 3）rumors.
I always hated bullying. The first time someone bullied me， I was six. Every day when we went out to 4）recess， one little boy would make me get on the ground. He would get on top of me and ride me like I was a horse. Kids laughed at me， and I felt 5）humiliated. I did not tell my teacher because I thought that would make it worse.
I also did not tell either my birth or 6）foster parents for a long time， because I was scared. I did not know how they would react. Finally， one day， I told my birth father over the phone. He told me to 7）defend myself by hitting the kid back. I did as I was told and I felt great after. I know fighting is not the answer but from that day， I did not let anyone bully me！
Bullying Online
Both my parents and my foster mother taught me that if someone lays a hand on you， you should defend yourself， and that is what I do. However， Facebook is a different world； people do not fight with fists. Instead， they 8）argue or make fun of people or spread rumors. Girls post half-naked pictures of themselves so tons of boys can “Like”them. However， that turns into bullying too because people start calling them 9）whores.
Other girls’ 10）nudity bothers me because it encourages males to speak to all girls in a 11）disrespectful way， and I do not 12）appreciate that. Plus， I think some girls are uploading these types of pictures because they don’t get the right attention they want and need at home. I feel sorry for them.
Facebook should be a safe place for people to just hang out and share pictures of where they’ve been. I noticed there was a “report” button on Facebook to report 13）offensive or 14）inappropriate posts to the site’s 15）administrators. Facebook will take down any post that 16）violates their terms which include， “You will not bully， 17）intimidate， or 18）harass any user. You will not post content that is hate speech， threatening， or 19）pornographic…”
