I read Tess's blog post on an article about internet security and cyberbullying. I really liked the way she organized her post, and especially her thoughts on the topic. I felt like I could connect and relate to her post in many ways.
When Tess said "I know several websites, such as Omegle and ask.fm, where people are allowed to chat and ask people questions without knowing at all who they are, " I immediatley connected with her. I used to have an Ask.fm, a site where people can post anonymously on your wall. People in school were using it as a site to bully others. Thankfully, I was never bulled, but however, a "twenty year old man from India," named "Isaah," began sexually harassing me. Despite my efforts, and blocking him from the continuous new accounts he and I both made, he always found me somehow. Sick of being creeped out, I deleted my Ask.Fm.
I think that Tess stated perfectly how often anonymous bullying occurs, and what can happen when it does occur. Tess did a great job making sure people could retate to the article, and post itself.
Good job, Tess!! :)
