Argumentative Essay About Cyberbullying

Typically, the person that is doing the cyberbullying is generally a victim of bullying themselves. How is cyberbullying done? Normally, the use of electronic devices to send messages that tend to emotional hurt someone feelings. Social media can lead to many negative outcomes when communicating to others. For example, if a teenage boy responds on a girl’s photo stating she is “ugly” is considered online bullying. One popular social media site is Facebook that over millions of people use for communicating. Facebook can be a positive source to communicate with family and friends that you may not see often. Also, it can be a very negative source that a lot of people use to criticize one another. Therefore, cyberbullying occurs nationwide

Should Cyberbullying be criminally prosecuted? This is a very popular question that is asked by many people. Though there are many opinions, a decision still has yet to be reached. Arguments on this topic have often trailed to the First Amendment, the freedom of speech. Another is education, the point that the internet, first, must be understood. Charging a person as a criminal over simple teasing over the internet, that is classified as cyberbullying is unjustified.

“The real solution is not criminal prosecution, but it should be education and selective participation.” 60% of young people who have been cyberbullied say that it has affected them in their personal life.

She sits in a dark room every day, thinking about all the stuff she reads on social media. Every day goes by with her thinking “you’re ugly,” “you’re fat,” and a lot of others. One day, she had enough and suicide was her answer.

In recent years cyberbullying has increased by a lot. Cyberbullying is a social issue in the Unites States because it targets a lot of teens, it leads to teen depression, and it has increased a lot in city schools.

Some people may say that cyberbullying is no big deal, and they just might brush it off their shoulders. But others say it’s a crime. To me, cyberbullying is the worst thing that could ever happen to someone. It makes you feel powerless, depressed, sad, mad, and all of the above. So please do us all a favor, and if your friends with a cyberbully then make them stop, they aren't benefiting themselves at all.

Every day I go to school and meet my best friend at the front of the school. Today as I got off the bus I walked straight to the front doors to meet her. Weirdly, today she was not there, I was surprised. I just think “oh it is cold outside she is probably inside waiting for me, so I go inside. She is not there and this point I am getting very curious. As I walk to the spot we always sit I look and she is not there, I see her with the mean girls bullying a kid. When I see this I am so surprised that I don't even think this is actually happening! As a kid that has been small all my life (So far), I HATE bullying. I was bullied as a kid in 2nd grade because I had just joined the school and I was very small. As I got older I found

What would you do if the kid you bullied committed suicide, and he turned out to be the only person who could save your life? Cyberbullying is any type of harassment that occurs online and has come to be common to a increasingly extent among children and teenagers. It is an existence that we need to be very much aware of. Although, it doesn’t occur in person it is still bullying and any type of bullying is never right. Cyberbullying is a very importunate factor in life. It involves people’s lives being at risk and people’s feelings to be abolished. Schools and parents should be obligated for any cyberbullying present.

Although bullying happens nationwide people, sometimes fail to acknowledge the importance of the topic and how it affects individuals and society. There are several ways the reality of bullying is taking place, which disrupts not only kids but also adults; whether it is physical, mental, or cyber bullying it is all contributing to promoting a barrier that may be perceived as negativity. However, from a bully’s perspective, it can be interpreted as a form of power that can often be difficult to understand. Alarming rates of bullying increasing nationwide, moreover, it has been portrayed as a failure of acknowledgement towards taking action

“Maybe there is a beast....maybe it's only us.”- William Golding (William Golding, Lord of the flies, chapter 5, page 80, qoute 20, 1954.)

    I first experienced this form of bullying in middle school. Just about every student in my class was creating a profile on the still famous Facebook. Our older siblings had Myspace,but for us this was our first major footing in the world of online social networking. Initially, it was great. It was a way to keep up with friends and family, share events, and explore things uncommon to us. However eventually the once so great network became a way to humiliate, harass, and threaten one another. Soon there were counseling sessions that introduced and warned us about the dangerous of what has become known as cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is classified as the harassment of another person through email, text, social media and

Furthermore, in 1998, Glasser explained that students having difficulty in meeting their needs or motives are generally the ones who experience relationship problems during their adolescent years. When the gap between what a person wants and what they have increases, they feel anger and rage. These feelings often lead the adolescent to display rebellion and problematic behaviours. Another reason for the problems in relationships is the inability to show individual potential. This is where I believe teachers can play a large role, because if students’ abilities are not believed in and they are not given the chance to cope with the obstacles they encounter, adolescents often experience discipline problems; which is what cyberbullying is seen as. Therefore, it can be said that cyberbullying is related to a person being unsuccessful and a feeling of being held back in satisfying their basic needs or motives.

On June 14, 2017, 12-year-old Mallory Grossman took her life due to cyberbullying. This little girl was told to “kill herself” and constantly threatened on Snapchat. Mallory's parents knew and tried to stop it, but the school didn't help and let it continue. Eventually, Mallory took her life. Mallory was a cheerleader and gymnast and that could have been a reason these girls would be rude, they were jealous. It might make you feel powerful but it is wrong, cyberbullying is very common and this is one of many reasons why kids are committing suicide and something needs has to be done.

stop. We have to be mind full of those with lower self-esteem though because they could think of

A lot of people think cyberbullying is just face-to-face. They think things are just said when people are in public, but that’s not the case at all. Cyberbullying has been around for a lengthy period. It can be very devastating for victims. It’s gotten so bad that people now commit suicide. A lot of people don’t understand how serious cyberbullying is, or any kind of bullying. Kids are out there getting bullied every day, just because the way they look, talk, or what they simply believe in. It’s not fair at all. I feel like a lot of parents don’t see it, or maybe they try and overlook it. I had saw on Google that it was the cause of about 6,078 deaths in a year in the 15 to 24 age group. That is a lot of deaths all over bullying. Bullied victims are 7 to 9 per cent more likely to consider suicide according to a study by Yale University. I’ve been reading many different articles that I have found quite interesting. In this first article “McKinney Teen’s Family Says Relentless Bullying Led to His Suicide,” a little boy named Junior left his family a note on the table saying he would be back soon, and that he was going for a walk. Soon after he killed himself with a gun he borrowed from a friend, just so he could protect his family from the students at McKinney Boyd High School.

Six years ago, almost all the news channels of the United states were flooded with the suicide case of a teenager. The life of Tyler Clementi, an 18-year-old violinist and first year student at Rutgers University came to a tragic end by an intentional jump off of the Washington Bridge. Tyler fell victim to the harsh attacks of a cyberbully. Devastated, Tyler took his life after being humiliated by his own roommate, Dharun Ravi, who videotaped Tyler and posted publicly online his roommate’s private moments with a male companion, with the intent to expose and humiliate him in front of his fellow students. In recent years, with the rise of social media websites along with picture and video messaging, a new form of public bullying has emerged, cyberbullying. It has become a well-known and controversial issue which has emerged to become one of the major causes of deaths among young children and adolescents and is yet not taken seriously and considered as a crime. Any sort of abuse or harassment, be it direct or indirect, that leads to such grave consequences such as suicide or murder or any other kind of harm to any individual should be considered criminal. And since, cyber bullying is the new-age way of indirect harassment that is leading to deaths, it should be criminalized.
