I think cyberbullying should be handled seriously because their could be situations which are causing teenagers to bully other teenagers. People may not know why they're doing it but most of the time they are dealing with their own problems. A therapist should maybe talk the bully and the kid being bullied. There should also be consequences no matter what the person is going through that could be dealt with the police.
I do believe the bully is most to blame. It doesn't matter what is happening at your home. You should not bully someone to make yourself feel better whatever the situation may be. The bully should bear for full responsiblility. I don't think it should be any different depending on what the person who was bullied reacted; if they reacted in severe terms or not too bad. Regardless of how far you went with bullying them you still did it.
The consequences should be severe because you affected someone's life in a negative way intentionally. A person is a person what they look like, act like, their religion, or race shouldn't determine the way they are treated. You should face consequences with your school and police. You should be suspended and dealt with charges.
I think cyberbullying could be prevented in many ways. The first one is talking to your child because majority of the reasin kids are mean to others is because they're not happy at their houses. Also teachers should talk to their students at school. Another great way is to show some of the results caused by cyberbullying such as hurting yourself, hurting other people, and suicide. This could definitely help teenagers now days.

Unsanitary Water: Africa
Everyone needs clean water to drink; we're very fortunate here in the United States to have access to clean water. Even the homeless have access to clean drinking water they can go to a public water fountain. In Africa unsanitary water is one of the top problems they are facing. Dirty water kills 4000 children a day. Many people in the communities are dying because so many terrible diseases are living in the water.
To help the situation an organization called The Water Project gave them wells. The three wells were recently built in Kakamega, Kenya. The North Way Christian Kidz GIG raised over $9000. It was a church in Pennsylvania they raised the money during camp. Missionary trips help in donating water to the people of Africa and also many organizations donate money for them to buy wells.
A way to help Africa would be to raise money to donate not only wells but other necessities. Things that we all use everyday that we don't even think about. You could hold a fundraiser at a school and the person to donate the highest amount of money gets a prize. Also volunteering and raising awareness because some people would like to and are able to donate but don't quite think about it. Their are many ways to help that would be easy for us that we just don't think about.
