The Megan Pledge

After Megan Meier took her own life due to cyber bullying, StopCyberBullying.org said enough is enough! This pledge was created in her honor to remind us all what is at stake.

By taking this pledge:
- I agree to take a stand against cyber bullying.
- I agree not to use technology as a weapon to hurt others.
- I agree to think before I click.
- I agree to think about the person on the other side.
- I agree not to join in cyber bullying tactics or be used by cyber bullies to hurt others.
- I agree to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

I'm currently watching Tyra Banks, and she just said that enough people signed this pledge to change the law in that state. That's awesome! Hopefully it will continue, and maybe with enough persistance it will become affective in other states.

Recently go on the Internet TV channels I stumbled upon on this and am happy to provide it to you. I was surprised, but the channel was obsolyutno free 24 / 7. Watch and enjoy.
Look TV Video

The best thing that you can do when you see cyber bullying is to ignore it... COMPLETELY. On MyYearbook in MyMag I see all kinds of hateful remarks that end up as hours and hours worth of name calling and put downs. How ridiculous!! If someone calls you fat, ugly, a b*tch, a f*gg*t - those type of names - remember that there is a person on the other side of those words who use that to make themselves feel better... so it is not about YOU but about THEM and their own personal self esteem issues. Those people try to target weaker people who will argue back, filling the boredom the bullies have, and try to say clever things to the other person and that makes them "feel good". So, block and don't reply. It isn't what you are called it is what you answer to. I have cried over things people have said about me that I didn't even know because of an internet site and its not worth it. It doesn't bother me anymore. I have a real life outside of the computer and I am a real person with goals and family and a daughter. Cyber bullies do not take this into account when they are typing... so if I am not real to them when they type hateful things to me then they are not real to me either. Why give them the upper hand to ruin MY day? Hell naw, I am gonna love my life and my self regardless of what people on the internet or in person say and think about me. The truth is 9 times out of 10, when ANY bully is being mean it is NOT about the victim... its about the bully and their own short comings.

whatever happen to treating others how you would like to be treated?? i am so sorry that someone had to lose their child to something so evil. megan will always be in my thoughts and prayers

hey. this story is awful. I hope i never come across such an abusive and immature human such as megan's bully. I am only 15 and I know not to do something like that. but i have seen things like this happen time and time again. Last year there was a guy who made a whole myspace account about a girl in our grade. he made fun of her and bullied her with his friends for weeks. She almost had to switch schools. things like this shouldn't happen. we are fighting in iraq to stop terrorism, yet we have it in the most potant form on the internet. Come on America, we can do better.

Its ridiculous how people will drive others to think they're worthless, how they're some scum of the earth that deserves this mental torture someone puts them through for whatever pathetic little reasons they may have. Maybe Megan actually thought the world would be better off without her because of some sick traitor, but her passing has just left a mother mourning pain greater than any sadistic joy someone could get from taking a life. I can't understand the victims that go on to bully when they know how bad it feels to be a victim. Its just utter selfishness on their part.

Dear Tyra: This segment was wonderful and a subject that should have been discussed a long time ago. My Granddaughter was bullied on the internet by a so-called friend at school and it was very stressful. Unfortunately the school took no action but thankfully she had her parents support and with that she pulled through. The situation is behind her and I am forwarding the Megan Pledge for her to take and to pass on to her friends.

Hi Tyra, thanks for your support in this effort. My daughter was bullied on line and thankfully we monitor well what our children do. It was a boy at her school so I printed it and brought it to our principles attention. After talking with my daughter, and having her permission, the boy was confronted as well as his parents. There were repercussions if anything was said to my daughter after the fact such as suspension. From that day on there has not been a problem. First, it is up to the parent to be involved and monitor their childs actions on the internet, then, do not be afraid to speak up and confront as your video states. I pray all kids are in a school that has a "No Bullying" policy and backs it up with action as ours does. God Bless You for your efforts and Megan and her family.
In Prayer, KJB

i like cows moooooooooooooooooo

Hi Tyra! Thanks for doing the show on cyber bullying. I can really relate to the show. I was a victim of bullying too. When I was schooling, I was bullied by classmates because of my weight and they will say very nasty things in my face. I was very miserable and I had no one to talk to about what happened in school. It had been 7 years and I've gotten over the pain, however, I can't trust anyone so easily anymore. I would like to share with people out there, that if you see a friend who is a victim of bully, stand by that person. The victim needs someone who can offer a sincere and friendly hand.
By the way, I watched, and am still watching your show back here in my hometown, Singapore.

Love your show,
Val
