Cyber Bullying Is Bad

According to surveys, traditional bullying has been declining for years across our country, but unfortunately the act of cyberbullying has become more common. Most of the individuals involved with this activity seem to be girls. Cyberbullying is much more severe than bullying in schools because when the children return home from school they can leave the conflict behind them, but when the bullying involves the internet they lose that feeling of safety and comfort at home. When someone is being bullied online, it can be seen by other kids from all over the world in a very short time. It is also more severe because the cyberbully victims are constantly being harassed by the hateful posts and comments all the time, whenever they get notification on their phone, computer, or any other electronic

Bullying has been around since the beginning of time. Parents may remember when they were kids and the bully would pick on them or their friends by stealing lunch money or just getting beat up, and that was the end of it. The victims remember the hurt, frustration, and sadness it caused. However, these days, bullying is not just happening on the playground or at the bus stop, it is happening on the Internet and on cell phones, making it possible to bully a child 24 hours a day with multiple bullies and thousands of kids watching. Cyberbullying follows children nonstop and into the safety of their house. Sometimes kids are afraid to inform their parents about the cyberbullying that they will think its there fault. Or that their parents will call the bullies parents or other parents, making the bullying worse. However, the effect and pain that comes from cyberbullying is real. People underestimate cyberbullying, just because it is happening online and not in person. Cyberbullying can lead to many different factors like drinking, and drugs, poor grades, depression, eating disorders. Many students have even taken their own lives because of another student saying something to them online. Cyberbullying has been taking place a lot more in middle and high schools because of the increased usage of social media networks and technology. Cyberbullying is worse and more harmful than traditional bullying.

When it comes to bullying, there are some invisible boundaries and limits that are set, however, on the internet there are no laws let alone limits and thus, cyber bullying is quite an eminent problem that should be discussed about more often. Cyberbullying is a form of bullying through the use of technology. In the past few years, there have been laws created against bullying, making it a lot harder for bullies to do what they want, in result the media came along and that’s when the bullies took advantage. It is unfortunate that kids are vulnerable even in a place where they should feel safe, which is at their home. With how easy and simple it is to

Cyber bullying has been around since the creation of advanced communication technology. In the last few years, however, this issue has become more common, more related to sex and most of all more dangerous. It has gotten so dangerous that children have killed each other and/or committed suicide after having been involved in a cyber bullying incident. Little attention and support from school authorities, more access to computers, and the latest cool thing (social networks) are all factors that have contributed to the rising of cyber-bullying practices.

Having more access to technology, students have more access to bully others. Anonymous users will make dealing with cyberbullying more difficult to deal with than dealing with bullying because we do not know who the perpetrator is. Cyberbullying is more difficult to catch and punish the bully because they hide behind a screen. Surprisingly confidence is one of the issues with cyberbullying, students are more likely to hide behind a screen, then confront someone in person, this also gives the perpetrator to stay hidden and avoid the consequences. Words online are more likely to spread further than if they were not happening online. Educating students are cyberbullying and the effects it has on students. Being aware of the situation and listening to students is the first step in taking a stand against cyberbullying. Sooner or later we are going to need to come up with a way to prevent and stop

According to a recent study, it was shown that the average internet user has 5.54 social media accounts on various platforms. This ranges from picture sharing websites like Instagram to video sharing websites like YouTube. However, what really matters is what we do on those social media platforms.

Speaking as a teenager here while sometimes it might be best to step back and let kids handle things themselves bullying is not one of those times. A friend of mine was actually taken to court for assault for knocking the teeth out of someone who was harassing him so we can clearly see that stepping back is not a good course of action here. The only thing that bothers me about our society response to bullying is its vaguely authoritarian ideas about responding to cyber bullying. When Anita Sarkeensian (Famed for critiquing video games and lack of fact checkers) spoke at the UN about cyberharassment she essentially proposed silencing any kind of speech she found offensive. I'll try to wrap this up before I go on a tangent but suffice it to say I honestly think we should just encourage people to turn off their computers or log out of Facebook and just leave the situation in a case of cyber bullying. Setting cyber bullying aside I do think bullying is a real problem that seriously affects grades and the mental health of its victems and thus despratly needs to be

Cyber bullying is a subject that is usually over looked which seems very foolish. The amount of unnecessary comments floating around over social media is very disappointing to me because I have witnessed how negative of an effect it can have on a life. The awareness of cyber bullying needs to be spread before another innocent life is

There have been countless new stories of kids that have taken their own lives due to being bullied over the internet. What makes cyberbullying concerning is that the person can be attacked and rumors can be spread to a larger audience. Before the internet, only the schoolmates would be aware, even though that was damaging enough. Now with social media being an enormous way kids communicate the rumors can spread to 100s of people at a time within a few minutes. 81 % of youth agree that through the use of technology, bullying is now easier (Nobullying.com, 2016). Pictures can be displayed, or fake accounts can be set up to cause harm to a person. Someone may feel that they can say more or do more damage to a person’s character because they can stay anonymous.

Cyber bullying has been becoming more popular than any other types of bullying. What the bullies have forgotten is that with cyber bullying, there is a

As technology grown over the years, it became easier to stay connected to friends and family around the world. Not only connected to personal friends and family but also strangers from your area or around the world and form friendships worldwide. It all well and good but sometimes the world of the internet hits you back in the face. In the world of the internet, there are people who will say anything to upset youths to the point of the victims hurting or killing themselves. Mostly on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are playing grounds for cyberbullying. Cyberbullying has been a growing problem over the year in Central Florida especially in high schools and the only way it could be resolve is to bring the awareness to the youths in high school.

To begin with, cyberbullying has become a major worldwide problem today. Cyberbullying has been around for a limited amount of time, but it has increased throughout the years. With new advancements in technology, bullying will only continue to occur. In fact, ever since different social platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have developed it has gotten worse because it gives more chances for the victim to be tortured.

I believe cyberbullying is worse than traditional bullying. Not only can the bully hide anonymously online, but most of the time they never have to be face to face with the person they are tormenting. I think the worst part of cyberbullying is that the victim doesn’t know who is bullying them most of the time. There are many ways to end cyberbullying. Parents can monitor what their children are posting on social media. They can also see who they are texting and the messages they send. Parents can have a way to contact their child’s teachers in case they notice anything out of the ordinary.

Tests have been conducted that shows 81% of teens believe it is easier to get away with bullying online than in person (Myers). Cyberbullying is the act of using harsh terms toward someone in particular on an online source. It touches the lives of many people, some even suffer from aggression, depression, and suicidal behavior. The dilemma is with the way people think these days. The victims need to understand that life is test, an army of bumps to climb over. The offended need to know that there will always be hardships and that is just a part of life. Other factors they should acknowledge are that it has always been a thing, people need thicker skins, and if something goes too far it should be shut down.
