Should Society Work As One To Delete Cyberbullying

With the internet and mobile phones being an everyday feature in most peoples lives this has opened the door to a new type of bulling known as cyber bullying. Children who have been bullied at school could at one time come home and get away from their tormentors but now with such technologies available there is the all too unfortunate reality of their problems coming home with them in the form of texts, emails and abuse through other websites.

Something needs to be done to prevent the issue of cyberbullying because this issue has become a nationwide problem. Cyberbullying began when people decided to take bullying beyond face to face conversation. Cyberbullying changes the nature and the environment of the internet because it can cause harm to someone else. Cyberbullying is the use of electronic communication to bully someone and it is not only being used in the United States, it is being used in many other countries such as Australia, Africa, Japan and the list goes on. About more than 10 percent of parents around the world say their child and/or children have been cyberbullied and nearly one-fourth of the world knows a younger person who has been a victim of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying happens for many of the same reasons as any other type of bullying, but it may be even more appealing because it can be done anonymously and the identity of the attackers may never be identified and it is also a difficult form of bullying because the true identity of the attackers might not be revealed. Which is one of the major factors of why cyberbullying still continues, it’s hard to prevent cyberbullying because the attackers hide behind code names and witnesses choose not to come forward. Cyberbullying changes the nature and the environment of the internet because it can cause harm to someone else. A bully wants power over another person, which means they could have low self esteem but studies show that most bullies have a

Cyberbullying has been more popular now than ever, with many children and teens worldwide affected by it. Cyberbullying has negative effects and consequences to the mind and can cause depression. Many people are affected by this, and according to studies, “more than one in three young people have experienced cyberthreats online”(Cyberbullying Statistics). This research shows that bullying may harm countless people under the age of eighteen who use the media. The results of cyberbullying can have negative impacts to people of all ages throughout their life and may lead to stress, rash decisions, and even suicide.

All the people of this nation need to consider the national controversy of cyber bullying. If you gazed at someone being teased on the internet, what would you do frankly? Did you know that 14% of high schoolers premeditated suicide and half of them that considered actually did? Because 55% of all teens convey that they have spotted online teasing and 95% of them overpass the locality watched, hectoring online is becoming a contention. Out of all teens in this nation, 52% declared that they have been online bulldozed. Internet intimidating is the leading determinant of the youth of this generation to execute suicide. People should be more perceptive of cyber bullying for the reason that technology is an uprising, the suicide cases for online antagonizing are unforgettable, and the population of teens is decreasinhjjg twenty-four seven.

There are many social problems in the US and throughout the world today. One of the most significant of those problems is bullying (Macfarlane & McPherson, 2004). More than 160,000 children avoid school each day because they are concerned about being bullied or because they have been bullied and are too afraid to go to school (Macfarlane & McPherson, 2004). Cyberbullying - the use of a computer or other electronic device to bully someone - is also on the increase. That can be harder to avoid, and children have even taken their own lives because of the harassment. Nearly three million students are bullied through the internet every year (Macfarlane & McPherson, 2004). The number of children who are bullied gets larger each year, as does the number of children who bully others. There are many reasons children are bullied, and just as many reasons that children bully other children, but the main concern is how to stop the problem and keep all children safe.

Cyber bullying is worldwide and many problems are created like depression, fights, and even suicides. 65% of teens agree that cyber bullying is a serious problem, bullying victims are 2 to 9 more likely to consider committing suicide. This shows how dangerous cyber bullying is because the choice of any of the problems listed above are raised for kids who don’t understand how to escape. (i.e. kids) Also, it’s not like kids can report the bully so others aren’t bullied. Websites like youtube you can’t do anything but take the insults. This may be true but, people can complement the victim to neutralize the negative effect. Although this may help, the negativity won’t be neutralized because humans think more of the stuff they don’t know, like the insults they might not know are false or true, instead of the things they already

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

These days bullying isn’t just taking place at school on the playground, or in the hallways, it is taking place online. Today, and in recent years kids and young teens will only face more and more bullying as things evolve with social media, things like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are only going to become increasingly popular and new platforms will be made as well.

Over the years, people have been recording the amount of cyber bullying that has been happening to individuals. They have recorded that just in one year, about forty-two percent of people with social media accounts are cyber bullied. Adults are starting to realize that teenagers are not able to handle the emotional and the social aspect that comes with social media (Impact of Social Media). Over time, our society has forgotten about bullying by trying to change the status and by asking students to easily forget about it. This outlook needs to change. Every day, students are being bullied into silence and are afraid to speak up when something is bothering them or when they are hurting. Let us break this silence and end bullying in schools and over the internet (Jery,Simon).

Bullying is a term that most of us recognize. We have either experienced it first hand or been a witness to it. Due to the precedent of today’s technology and the high speed Internet, bullying has evolved into a virtual war zone and the casualties, unfortunately are our youths. As stated by Cross, Dooley, and Pyzalski (2009) cyber-bullying by definition is “an aggressive, intentional act carried out by a group or individual, using electronic forms of contact, repeatedly and over time against a victim who cannot easily defend him or herself.” Cyber-bullying is most prominent among today’s teenagers and youth. The motivation for this type of harm is stemmed from different agents and can be driven by economic,

Cyber bullying leads to people to suffer low self-esteem and a damaged view of

Cyberbullying is becoming more of a problem than traditional bullying, more kids are getting social media and bullying others each and every day. This type of bullying continues to grow with the amount of technology that is coming out into the world. Cyberbullying does not get taken as serious as traditional bullying. It is becoming a huge problem in this day in age and needs more attention than it is getting. Social media is a huge factor for this type of bullying to take place. Nobody takes it seriously because of the fact that most kids never report that they are getting cyberbullied. There are many consequences for this type of bullying and it needs to be stopped before the consequences get worse.

Review of the Status of Cyberbullying and Cyberbullying Prevention (2014), a scholarly article written by June Chisolm PhD, with the Department of Psychology at Pace University in New York, explores the effects of cyberbullying and the impact that it has on adolescents. The author first defined cyberbullying as “the intentional and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, or other electronic devices” (pg.78). In recent studies, it was found that one in five youths will be cyberbullied, and the adolescents between the ages of 10 and 18 years of age, 19% of them will either be the victim or the perpetrator (para.4 pg.78).

Studies indicate that cyber-bullying incidents have quadrupled in past five years (Ross). Cyber-bullying has become a huge issue recently. Every time you turn on the news there is another bullying, or a suicide related to bullying, incident being reported. “Love is louder” has been a common phrase among celebrities and influential figures lately. They are trying to send out a message to their followers saying that bullying is not right and should not be tolerated. The expansion of communication technologies is widening the way bully’s can torture their victims. The fact of the matter is, technology is not going anywhere, so we need to figure out a way to put an end to cyber-bullies. Cyber-bullying is becoming a major problem and we all

Cyber bullying has been a topic for scholarly inquiry, political debate, and policy reform since the commercialization of the Internet. Pre-internet bullying involved socially marginalized children and teenagers picking on their friends and other marginalized children in the school yard. Traditional discipline included detentions, phone calls to their parents, and some sort of reconciliation between the children involved. Today however, the climate for bullies has dramatically changed and the risk-reward balance has been significantly tilted in favour of the bullies.
