The fact that it can strike at any time is one of the biggest complications with cyberbullying. Kids do not get the pleasure of feeling safe in the comfort of their own home. They can take one look at their phone and see just how quick the bullying spreads. It can also be take a step further by bringing its-self into the real world.

20% of children ages 11-18 have been victim to cyberbullying! 84% of cyber bullies have admitted to knowing who their target was. We need to put a stop to these cyber bullies and have them prosecuted for their wrong doings. Cyberbullying should be made a crime and cyber bullies prosecuted.

Firstly, in cyber bullying the level of anonymity is higher compared to traditional bullying. The current form of technology allows perpetrators of cyber bullying to impersonate other people and this reduces the fear of being castigated for the act. Broadhurst (420) indicates that most of the cyber bullies create fake email accounts and social sites and use them to post traumatizing information to their target population. This level of anonymity gives the bullies more courage to cause harm to the victims. Ngo and Raymond (780) reveal cases of ladies who are intimidated because of their stand in societal matters. Estranged men may decide to hide behind fake social accounts and post obscene pictures of

Internet usage in children and adolescents has been increasing in a steadily fashion in the past number of years and with the increase in internet usage, a new form of bullying has developed – Cyber bullying. Cyber bullying can be defined as “the electronic posting of mean-spirited messages about a person,” (Merriam-Webster, 2012). This form of bullying can come through various mediums including but not limited to text messages, emails, videos, and social networking sites. There is an overwhelming amount of information that defines cyber bullying, identifies the demographics of bullies and victims of cyber bullying, and identifies the outcomes of cyber bullying on victims. More focus needs to be placed on who the perpetrators

Tackling cyberbullying will be an ongoing process as technology continues to grow, understanding the problem is the first step. There have been many studies done to measure the extent of cyberbullying and to measure the risk of being cyberbullied, studies have also explored the bullying experiences of victims and bullies. A study done in Sweden

Cyber-bulling refers to offensive behavior sent through the internet by electronic means to a victim or posted publicly for others to view with and aim of humiliating the victim (Teasley, 2013). It is not limited to only sexual issues and child pornography, but encompasses all forms of threats advanced to children by use of the internet. These threats include cyber-stalking, posting rumors on another profile, pretending to be someone else by using a fake profile, and hacking to someone else’ profile and posting false comments (Gillespie, 2016). According to research, cyber-bullying is a real problem in today’s society. The Children’s charity organization reported that 14% of teenagers between the ages of eleven and nineteen had been harassed online or by short messages service (Gillespie, 2016). It causes adverse health hazards such as stress and depression which can force them to involve themselves in drug abuse or delinquency. This paper explores the dimensions of cyber-bullying, its implication, health risks, and how to tackle the problem legally and from various institutions.

Bullying has had a well known status for destroying the confidence and esteem of our world’s youth for decades. Recently, a new form of bullying has emerged and has taken over the technological environment. Similar to a student physically bullying another peer, we see victims hurt after an attack over misuse of the Internet. Cyberbullying has been much harder to track than face-to-face bullying. It has also been easier for someone to attack another merciless and guiltless because of the lack of physically seeing the damage caused. Some believe legislation addressing anti-bullying is needed to stop these cyber attacks in their tracks and control the youth’s misuse of technology. Some would rather see more responsibility from parents and schools addressing the issue. Perhaps it is not that simple. There must be programs provided for communities to address the problem and legislation to prove bullying over the Internet is no joke.

Twenty percent of high school students admit to being a victim and/or participating in cyberbullying (“Cyberbullying”). This form of bullying that takes place on the Internet, is beginning to become a major problem in our society. Cyber bullying must be terminated in order to prevent teenage depression, fights breaking out in schools, and adolescences growing up to become criminals.

Additionally, cyber-bullying has developed through the chat rooms, instant messaging, text messages, Facebook, Instagram, and with other social media websites. Online cyber-bullies can post and send humiliating messages about the victim. Cyber-bullies spread alternated pictures and even steal victim 's

“Some people won’t be happy until they’ve pushed you to the ground. What you have to do is have the courage to stand your ground and not give them the time of day. Hold on to your power and never give it away.” (Donna Schoenrock). In this day and age, there are so many new ways to connect with people all over the world through social media. One of the downsides is that it means that there are also new ways to harass others. Cyberbullying means the use of the internet or any other form of communication to bully a person, by sending or posting threatening or intimidating messages. Cyber bullying is happening around the world on a daily basis, it is harming ours and future generations that follow. Cyber bullying is very harmful to not only its victims but also its perpetrators, sometimes it can even harm the witness’ that does nothing to stop it from unfolding on to their peers.

Bullying of any kind is wrong but cyberbullying has taken it to a new level because now people can create a profile to slander a person’s name. Cyberbullying also can occur 24-hours a day, unlike the traditional form of bullying. People can actually get on a site like Facebook that has a world-wide audience to bully and get others to do the same. So now not only has the victim been bullied by a classmate but now millions of strangers are harassing them.

For many years, physical bullying has been a steady conflict for teenagers attending school. However, the rise of technology and internet has become a way for bullying outside the school. As a result, bullying has become more pervasive in the form of cyberbullying. This can be done with the use of cellphones, computers and other electronic devices. Cyberbullying has been a major violation in schools yet some students still engage in it even though they know that there will be disciplinary actions ahead of them. As a result, many students have been victims of cyberbullying. This can cause depression, anxiety and long term problems to victims as they grow up. I believe that schools can always take action to prevent this for the safety of students. In particular, schools should take the lead to promote an advocacy campaign against cyberbullying among teenagers.

With huge advances in technology and social media in the past decade, it is easy to comment or post about someone. Though social media can be used for good, it can also bring about the issue of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is the harassment or attacking of someone through social media or text messaging, and is truly a real and evident issue throughout the world. Specifically based out of schools, many victims are attacked via Twitter, Instagram, text, DM, Snapchat, Facebook, etc. by people in their schools. Unlike regular bullying, cyberbullying is in a sense “hidden”. It is done behind closed doors and a screen. How easy is it to post something opposed to actually attacking someone in person. The organization Enough is Enough,

In the simplified, fast-paced technological age we live in, ways to communicate are advancing on a seemingly daily basis, making so many things in our lives easier. But, as with anything, there are negative effects. With the ever evolving ways to communicate with those in your life, or even strangers halfway around the world, come those who seem to make it their life's mission to bring harm to others through a technological platform. The current state of cyber bullying is the worst it had ever been, because of not only the growth in what people are harassed for online, but because it often extends outside of the electronic world. Inasmuch, cyber bullying has grown so much larger than its ever been, and will probably continue to do so. In the same manner, what the victims are subjected to has been changing in the worst kind of way over these years of electronic advancement. Above all, is the safety and well-being of the victims though, as it is no secret the detriment bullying has on someone. Therefore, there need to be more ways for consumers and users to protect themselves from this new form of harassment.
