I chose to address why it is important to work to delete cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is not some insignificant problem experienced by few. Cyberbullying is well known in this generation, your children are aware of it and can recognize it, but they aren't aware of the consequences that come along with these actions. According to a recent survey, fifty percent of fourteen to twenty four year olds have experienced a form of digital abuse.

This research shows that cyberbullying is at an all-time high over the past few years. The purpose of this report was to gain knowledge for personally and professionally for the future as well as to use for reporting. With the rise of children and teenagers getting cell phones, tablets, and even computers at such a young age the rise will only continue to go up if we cannot stop it now. Young girls are at a higher risk than young men to be bullied but young men are higher for being bullies. Every one in three teens have been the victims of cyber bullying and only one in five are reported to parents or law enforcement. If there was something that could be done to stop cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is a relatively new threat, and it is very similar to traditional bullying. Despite the fact that cyberbullying and traditional bullying both share the common goal of harassment, cyberbullying differs from traditional bullying in that it does not stop at the schoolyard, and can continue when the victim is far away from the aggressor. It is just as devastating as common bullying, and sometimes is even more damaging. Professors Sameer Hinduja and Justin W. Patchin note in their journal, “Cyberbullying Creates Dangerous Stress and Anxiety”, that cyberbullying affects anywhere between 10-40% of students (contingent on their age group) (par. 1). J.D. Kelly A. Albin, in her article “Bullies in a Wired World”, defines cyberbullying as “…the ‘willful and repeated harm inflicted through use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices’” (157). It is caused by the fact that children feel their actions are mitigated when they use social media, as it creates the illusion of indirectness, and its effects range anywhere from mild depression to suicide.

Technology is rapidly advancing at a dizzying rate which has seen many amazing feats but has also introduced and increased the act of Cyberbullying. Cyber bullying can be defined as targeting someone using any form of technology (this includes social media) to tease, stalk or humiliate someone online (Dictionary.com, 2016). Cyberbullying is so detrimental because it encourages the targeting of an individual; It is often done in secret with the bully hiding who they are by creating false profiles or names, or sending anonymous messages. It is difficult to remove as it is shared online so it can be recorded and saved in different places. Cyberbullying has such a negative impact that research shows that there is a correlation between the violent

Cyberbullying is just one of the many forms of bullying that can occur and unfortunately, it continues to occur in ever-growing amounts. In this generation, the internet is so easily accessible that no one can prevent themselves from potentially being entrapped by the heinous claws of cyberbullying. Since cyberbullying can reach so many people, it can also bring the detrimental effects along with it. Mental illness, self-harm, and suicide are just a few of the effects that can happen to a person being cyberbullied. Most of the time these effects can be prevented by the intervention of schools, friends, or loved ones. Most cyberbullying incidents happen to students and in most cases, schools are unable to take any form of action. People, especially young Americans should speak up and take action against cyberbullying. They must voice their concerns and make schools be required to intervene in cyberbullying matters that occur off campus, because it can affect them, their friends, or others around

From personal experience with witnessing rude comments on the internet, cyberbullying isn’t an easy thing to get rid of. In the radio interview about the dangers of cyberbullying with Brett Warnke, Brett states, “But with a surge in the popularity of new technology among children and teens, bullying has become a problem that doesn’t always stop at the end of the school day.” In this statement, he tells us that cyberbullying is not just a problem that halts, cyberbullying does not stop because people are on technology constantly and they could be anywhere in the world but still be able to

Deleting cyberbullying is important because, there are kids dying over cyberbullying because of the hurtful things these other kids or grown ups do. In a movie I watched sometime ago it was called, “ Cyberbully”, and it is based on a true story. I find it sad how they have to make movies based on true stories because of the cyberbullying thing going on all around the world, they make people aware of it and yet they still CONTINUE to engage and encourage. According to, nobullying.com, “ Cyber Bullying Statistics. 25 per cent of teenagers report that they have experienced repeated bullying by their cell phone, or on the Internet. 52 per cent of young people report being cyber bullied.” I know this is true because I watch people all around me

Cyberbullying is a new form of bullying that allows individuals to threaten or intimidate others via online resources like social media and instant messaging, as well as other electronic technology like smartphones and tablets. Due to the fact that cyberbullying is a fairly new concept, due to the advances in technology it has become one of the most prevalent sources of bullying among adolescents. The ease in which children can gain access and use electronic technology, and the fact that cyberbullying most of the time can remain anonymous, has led to an increase in this form of bullying. With reports indicating that 93% of teens are active users of the Internet and 75% own a cell phone, up from 45% in 2004, there is great potential for cyberbullying among youths (Schneider, O’Donnell, Stueve, & Coulter, 2012).The increase in cyberbullying has led to an increase in suicide rates among adolescent, and has expanded bullying past the traditional school environment.

Many different types of bullying occurs across America, one of the which goes by the name of “ cyberbullying”. Cyber bullying consist of bullying using social media or technology. Nowadays, kids cyberbully more because they have phones. Phones have had many positive effects for the world but cyberbullying goes on the negative side. When people cyberbully, they usually send abusive content to other people or just post it onto social media. Social media depicts the whole base of cyberbullying. When someone posts something hurtful onto social media, that content will forever be on social media. Even if they delete it, it will still be on the database. Another form of cyberbullying that most people don't recognize of cyberbullying falls into when someone discludes someone from something online. When a group discludes

Cyberbullying is “when the Internet, cell phones, or other devices are used to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person” (NCPC, 2016). With millions of young people, particularly teenagers, frequenting the Internet to do class work and socialize, cyberbullying, or online bullying, has become a serious cause for concern. First, with the advent of technology being integrated into public schools, some young people are creating online identities and anonymously posting images or harassing messages intended to harm others. These kinds of harassing online behaviors are being reported at schools in many U.S. states (Davis, 2012). As a result, “Thirty-eight states have bullying laws that include a ban on ‘electronic harassment’ in their provisions, and 14 states have laws that expressly prohibit cyberbullying” (Davis, 2012).

Bullying has been a big problem in our school system for many years, but it has escalated over the past decade due to the new era of modern technology. Unanimously, we can agree that our daily lives greatly depend on technologies; the internet, cellphones, computers, tablets, IPad etc. Although the uses of technology positively impacted our lives, there is also the downside when it uses have negative connotations. For instance, modern technology made it very easy to engaged in cyberbullying, perpetrators used cell phones or computers to conduct this hideous behavior, hiding behind their keyboards to express negative feelings and or thoughts toward others. Using social media

“Cyberbullying is usually defined as a form of bullying that uses electronic means such as email, mobile phones, messages, instant messages, text messages, social networking sites, and personal webpages, with the intention of causing harm through repeated hostile conduct” (Ortega). The most popular form of cyberbullying today is through the use of social networking through Facebook. These issues take place through comments that are left of pictures that are uploaded or the conversations that take place because of statuses that are posted. Looking at the younger generations we are able to see these issues starting in the elementary schools and continuing on through the college

Internet-related abuses and cyberbullying has long been a concern of schools and universities, the government and the whole community. Efforts have been put forward to combat cyberbullying that include prevention and intervention programs at the community, school, and family levels. The development and implementation of clinical services are primarily designed to remediate and prevent the many deleterious effects of child abuse, either online or offline.

Before cyberbullying began happening, bullying was not a new concept. It was a thing that many children went through for most of their lives if not all of their lives. Ever since the internet has been introduced to the world, it has taken the game of bullying to a completely different level. The internet has given people all around the globe the advantage of putting on a “mask” and namelessly abhorring on other individuals for their own entertainment. Cyberbullying has negative effects on victims, such as lowering self-esteem, increasing depression and producing feelings of powerlessness (Anderson, Bresnahan, & Musatics, 2014). Cyberbullying can happen because of someone 's race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and even their hobbies. Over the past several years, the spike in suicides among teens that have been the result of online threats, rumors, and hurtful communications has brought national attention to the issue of the people’s use of electronic media to bully other people. It is preposterous that it takes suicide for people to notice that people are suffering because of people who feel the need to make someone hate themselves. On every social media website you visit, rude comments will viciously pop up no matter which site you go on. Those horrid posts are not necessary, but are put online for the amusement of people and are not necessarily viewed as extreme until the life of a person is taken into their own hands. Cyberbullying effectively ruins the lives of
