利亞喜欢用“脸谱”（Facebook）和家人朋友交流，因为她觉得外面的世界太多纷争了，不如待在家里用电脑和朋友聊天、分享生活趣事更好。然而，随着社交网络的普及，这个原本清静的地方也开始出现各种欺凌现象。从小被欺负的她决定不再袖手旁观——
At first， I spent about four to six hours a day on Facebook， mostly messaging family and old or new friends. I liked being able to talk to my friends from home， because people were always fighting outside.
But you couldn’t get away from fighting， even on Facebook. People posted videos of fights or kids being bullied， or shared someone’s photo without their permission， spreading bad rumors.
I always hated bullying. The first time someone bullied me， I was six. Every day when we went out to recess， one little boy would make me get on the ground. He would get on top of me and ride me like I was a horse. Kids laughed at me， and I felt humiliated. I did not tell my teacher because I thought that would make it worse.
I also did not tell either my birth or foster parents for a long time， because I was scared. I did not know how they would react. Finally， one day， I told my birth father over the phone. He told me to defend myself by hitting the kid back. I did as I was told and I felt great after. I know fighting is not the answer but from that day， I did not let anyone bully me！
Bullying Online
Both my parents and my foster mother taught me that if someone lays a hand on you， you should defend yourself， and that is what I do. However， Facebook is a different world; people do not fight with fists. Instead， they argue or make fun of people or spread rumors. Girls post half-naked pictures of themselves so tons of boys can “Like”them. However， that turns into bullying too because people start calling them whores.
Other girls’ nudity bothers me because it encourages males to speak to all girls in a disrespectful way， and I do not appreciate that. Plus， I think some girls are uploading these types of pictures because they don’t get the right attention they want and need at home. I feel sorry for them.
Facebook should be a safe place for people to just hang out and share pictures of where they’ve been. I noticed there was a “report” button on Facebook to report offensive or inappropriate posts to the site’s administrators. Facebook will take down any post that violates their terms which include， “You will not bully， intimidate， or harass any user. You will not post content that is hate speech， threatening， or pornographic…”
When I was 16， I started reporting. The first thing I reported was a video of a group of boys jumping a boy and making him strip. I had never seen something like this. I showed my foster mom the video and she was disgusted too. I reported it because I felt it was the right thing to do.
After I reported the video， I got a response saying， “Thank you. Facebook will review your report.”Within an hour， the video was down. I felt good that I might have helped that boy by stopping the spread of the video.
Another thing I have reported is hate speech. I saw a picture of a dark-skinned black girl， and somebody had written a bunch of racist remarks. I did not even know the girl or who originally posted this picture， but I did not like that it was being shared throughout Facebook with racist comments. I refused to sit at my computer and let that hate be shared to the whole world.
At times， I reach out to the victims on Facebook to let them know they are not alone， and that there are people like me who defend them. I also tell them， “You are beautiful inside and out. Do not let anyone else tell you otherwise.”
A Nicer World？
As I said before， girls posting naked pictures of themselves on Facebook hurts all girls， but sometimes I feel bad for the specific girl. Once I was looking through my news feed when I came across a collage of a girl. There was a topless picture of her， and text that said she was 13 and getting bullied at school because of this picture， and that she tried to kill herself. There was also a picture of her on a hospital bed with an IV in her arm.
I thought，“What the hell is this？” Then I saw people’s comments：“That’s what she gets for acting like a whore.” “Look at our generation.” “Who took this picture？” She didn’t get sympathy， just judgment. I felt bad for the girl because it looked as if she really tried to commit suicide. I reported the photo.
By reporting things that are mean， I hope to stop future bullying. I would really like to see Facebook change because if people behaved better on Facebook， they might be nicer in real life.
起初我一天會花大约四到六个小时玩“脸谱”，大多是与家人和新朋旧友互发信息。我喜欢可以在家里和朋友们聊天的感觉，因为在外面的世界，人们总是争斗不休。
但是，即便在“脸谱”上，争斗也一样难以避免。人们会发布打架或者孩子被欺负的视频，或者未经许可就分享别人的照片，散布恶劣的谣言。
我一向很讨厌欺凌这种事。我第一次被人欺负是在六岁的时候，每天课间休息时，有个小男孩总是让我趴下，然后像骑马一样骑在我背上，孩子们哄堂大笑，而我备感羞辱。但是我没有告诉老师，因为我想那只会让情况变得更糟。
在很长一段时间里，我也没有对我的亲生父母和养父母提起这事，因为我很害怕，我不知道他们会有什么反应。终于，有一天，我在电话里把这事告诉了生父。他叫我回击那个小孩，维护自己。我照他说的做了，事后感觉很好。我知道打架不能解决问题，但从那一天起，我再也没有让任何人欺负我了！
网络欺凌
我的亲生父母和养母都告诉我，如果有人敢碰你，你应该自卫。我正是这么做的。然而，“脸谱”是一个不同的世界，人们并不是用拳头来争斗，而是与人口角、取笑别人或者传播谣言。有些女孩会发布自己的半裸照片，以求赢得很多男孩给她们点“赞”。但这也变成了欺凌，因为人们开始说她们是妓女。
