TOPIC AND THESIS
TOPIC: Appropriate Punishment for Cyberbullying
POSITION: Cyberbullying should be punishable by law.
THREE MAIN POINTS THAT SUPPORT MY POSITION ARE: Cyberbullying is not being managed effectively by parents, it is creating disturbances at school, and causing significant pain and anguish for its victims, sometimes resulting in suicide.
THREE MAIN POINTS THAT OPPOSE MY POSITION ARE:
Parents should be responsible for disciplining their children, laws against cyberbullying infringes on the students' right of free speech, Cyberbullies should not be held responsible for their victims' actions.
THESIS STATEMENT: Although some people believe that enforcing punishment for online behavior violates the First Amendment's right to free speech, Cyberbullying has become an intrusive form of harassment that is not being dealt with properly by schools and parents, is creating disorder on school campuses, and causing life altering distress to its victims.
