Here is Whygal00 in the somewhat boringgg waiting room while I've been waiting I've decided to write an article to Everyone Mean or Nice, Racist or Not, Bully or Not. So listen up ladies, gentlemen, teens, preteens, and kids, for a new change.

I'm not Mother Theresa or anything, but I have noticed a lot of bullies in Whyville and it seems like they can get their way with Whyville, thinking they can bully anyone around, hurting and convincing people to quit. Whyville wants to grow, not decrease, so they should put a stop to these cyber bullies. Bullying should be punishable by fine, mute, or if severe, banishment.

Here's another idea. There should be online moderators in Whyville. My short name for them would be, ummm... why-mods, I guess. I imagine you could become one if you're 14+, so they're most likely not to abuse their tools. The tools could be ban, kick off Whyville, report, etc, and there would most likely be a multi-stage application. I was just thinking of this idea, but I'm getting off topic. Back to bullying.

Cyber bullies pick on or harass people, and often don't like themselves. The best thing to do to deal with them in Whyville is use the 3 tools Warn, Silence, and Vaporize. If it's serious, use the 911 report. No one has to be afraid or threatened in Whyville, because Whyville is supposed to be fun.

The worst problem are those people discriminating towards everyone today. By calling everyone ugly, etc, you're giving a bad impression of Whyville to newbies. Look at the person beyond the computer screen. They may be nice and very kind, though certain people put them down and convince them to be unkind. The Golden Rule is: do unto others like you would have them do unto you. If you called someone ugly, would you like to be called ugly yourself?

So think about this. Have you always wanted peace? Well, if you are being mean to others, you are not creating peace you are creating strife and struggle. Peace in the world today all starts with every single one of us.

Well, I have to go now do my homework. It's been the 4th time I took my "coffee break". So long.
