-I would tell them that it would be better not to talk to them and never meet them because they may never know if it could but a pedofile or rapist, but if they insist they would want to go i would go with them and make sure nothing would go wrong or anything to happen to her/him.

Bullycide

I have amazingly learned many valueable facts and information from reading the article and watching the clip. I have learned that if you had bullied someone and in result from all the bullying they killed themselves, you would go to prison even if you werent there or physically tried to kill the person. I have also learned that if you post something such as a video or picture about someone and in return they kill themselve, you would be charged of invasion of privacy and other bias charges. After so much bullying, 45 states have enforced anti-bullying laws and Massachusetts has one of the most strictest one. With 1 in 5 students and 9 in 10 gay/lesbians-students are bullied each year.

After all i have read and seen they could have been many things people could have done or done differently to save the peoples life or solve the problems. If people would have been more sympathetic or put themselves in the shoes of the person they are bullying they would see it is harsh to bully someone and in return would no bully someone so much that it caused them to commit suicide. Though some people bully others because of how they are treated at home such as being beaten or harass and release their anger or frustation on the target, i believe that if the parent or however at home wasnt so mean and so how much negative effects they have on the children would make such a difference on if people bully others or not. I also believe that if the internet didnt have so much information on how to kill yourselves then not as much people would have killed themselves. Bullying is such a horrible crime, everything that helps increase the bullying such as gossip or physical abuse should be charged as a crime no matter what.

1. Do you think Millersville University was justified in disqualifying Stacy from earning her teaching degree because of her profile page? Why, or why not?
-I strongly disagree that Millersville University was justified for disqualifying Stacy from earning her teaching degree because of her profile page. I believe this because they invaded her privacy and though things on her profile page may be thing that aren't good things that doesnt mean she is not a good teacher or qualified to teach anyone. I bet the people at the Millersville University have done many bad things like drink alchol excesivly or use drugs but may not have posted it online for people to see. I believe they are hypocrits and didnt not have a good reason to disqualify Stacy.

2. How would the situation be different if the context of the photo were taken into account? For instance: What if the caption of the photo was not “Drunken Pirate,” but “Happy Halloween” or “My friend forced me to wear this pirate hat”? What if a post accompanying the photo said that it had been taken at a child’s birthday party and Stacy was drinking punch?
-It would make a different impression on someone if the context of the photo were taken into account. They would have believ oh she is just having fun and isnt a bad person. She is just having fun like any other person.

3. What if Stacy’s friend Joe had posted the picture of Stacy without her knowing it, and tagged her with the “Drunken Pirate” caption. Does the fact that Joe posted the picture change the situation? Why or why not?
-No, because it was still about her and it left an impression that she liked to get drunk.

4. Does Joe have a responsibility to ask Stacy before he posts (and tags) a picture of her? Do other people, including strangers who come across the photo online, have the responsibility to check with Stacy before they tag or repost the photo? Why, or why not?
-Yes, Joe or any other stranger has the responsibility to ask Stacy before he posts a picture of her, because it is part of her and it would invade her privacy hey didnt ask permission. Though however people will still do it and not ask permission and get away wit.
