Summary: Twenty-year-old Thien To first learned about cyberbullying in her native Vietnam. The South Philadelphia High junior has since learned about cyberbullying American-style and has discovered a way out.
This piece is about cyber-bullying, a problem that’s just become apparent in our current generation. Twenty-year-old Thien, from Vietnam, moved to the U.S. when she was 19. She explains what cyber-bullying is and what we can do to stop it. She also tells us a story about her friend and a few other students from their school who were in a “cyber war” – as agents each other -- and how she helped to break up the fight and stop the cycle of cyber-bullying by deleting the negative comments.
This was an interesting story and well-written, well-made piece. The only thing I really had a problem with was that it was pretty hard to understand because she had a thick accent. All in all, though, this was a great piece with helpful advice that everyone should use try to stop the cycle of cyber-bullying.
