Blog Post #5: Cyberbullying Blogs

Francis Duncan's blog post "Would Your Child Tell You If He/She Was Being Bullied?" discusses the element of cyberbullying. In her blog post, she discusses if children would actually be comfortable telling their parents that they are being bullied online and tips to deal with the situation. Diana Pentecost's blog post "What Can You Do If Your Child Is Bullied Online?" also discusses the issue of cyberbullying. Pentecost's blog post offers tips on how to effectively recognize and deal with a situation that involves your child and online bullying. Both of these blog posts obviously are geared towards parents. This causes the blog posts to appeal to pathos. Both of the blogs also offer tips on how to deal with situations regarding your child and online bullying. The two blog posts are different because Pentecost offers tips on how to deal with online bullying with the help of The NetSmartz Workshop, instead of offering her own opinion. Duncan's blog post, on the other hand, has her own insightful tips on how to deal with cyberbullying. The rhetorical messages conveyed in both blog posts are successful because they offer good advice and the response that they have received from their blog followers is positive.
