Situation 3:
Someone who Rashad had
"friended" on Facebook--a person he had met once at a party but
didn't know very well--started posting weird photographs on Rashad's timeline.
After discussing the situation with his dad, Rashad sent the person a private message
asking him to stop, but the inappropriate postings continued. Rashad added
three additional actions: he "unfriended" the person on Facebook, he
blocked the person from seeing his Facebook account, and he finally reported
the offensive photographs to Facebook administrators.
Discuss how well you think the person
handled cyberbullying and how you might have handled it differently.

Given that the bullying happened on
such broad medium, in my opinion, Rashad had already taken all measures
possible in order for the situation not to worsen anymore.
He had made a really smart decision
when he decided not to treat the problem as if it was just nothing. And since
he already did actions available using the features of the social media site, I
believe that it's already enough, and I would've done just the same.
It's a good thing that people nowadays
are knowledgeable enough about the things that they can do with the internet,
but what's even better is that there are those people like Rashad who knows how
to use that knowledge intelligently such as on terms of protecting oneself.
