Homework 17 

I could apply what I have learned in class in my own life by standing up for the people being bullied, and not be the bystander. I have never seen cyber-bullying personally, but if I ever do I will get involved. I would try and stop the bullying and de-escalate the situation. It is extremely important to try and de-escalate things because the bullying would probably escalate and there is no telling what might happen if it is not stopped.
