Many bullying scenarios have resulted in self harm or even suicide. Just this past June, a girl in Tampa, Florida, committed suicide because of a friend taking a naked picture of her without her permission and shared it on social media. A reporter from Channel 8 News, quotes a psychiatrist, Dr. Walter Afield: “Teenagers are very nasty to each other because they’re so nervous and so forth.When they bully, well you can yell, you can shout, you can shoot back but when it comes on the internet so quickly and so instantly and all around. It gets very aggressive.” 15-year-old was found dead by her aunt from a gunshot in her

To continue, bullying leads to depression and suicide, it affects children's mental faculties, overtime the victim will believe what the offender is telling them. Doctor Andrew Adesman’s team stated that “depression and suicide are much more common in

Bullying and suicides have a strong link between them. Bullying can include cyber bullying, verbal bullying, physical bullying and many more. Many people will try to get help when they are bullied. Even a teacher may tell them that they need to fight back. When someone cries out for help and no one helps them, they will most likely be pushed to suicide because they see it as the only way out. About 7-9% of bullied victims are more likely to consider suicide. That is 7-9% more than it should be. Suicide needs to be taken seriously. Many people will get hurt by one single

Bullying is happening all over the world and it is a huge problem. According to www.bullyingstatistics.org, victims of bullying are between 2 to 9 times more likely to commit or consider suicide.

In the article Big Bad Bully by Hara Estroff Marano she discusses the main components of behavior that make up a bully, who can be a bully and why people choose to bully others. In the beginning of the article she focuses on suicide victims who could no longer take the mental, physical and emotional abuse of bullying. Marano (2017), “Months later, in Cherokee County, Georgia, 15-year-old Brian Head grew tired of the same teasing and deeds. The denouement was only slightly more remarkable. He shot himself to death—in front of his classmates. He walked to the front of the classroom and pulled the trigger.” The same teasing and deeds Marano is speaking of is being tripped in the hall, various name calling and being physically bullied. The article goes into depth of how the Western society treats bullying. We are prone to often dismiss bullying as kids being kids and, teachers are in denial that any such behavior exist in their class. However, the sad truth is that more times than not there is always a classroom bully. Because we often overlook the severity of bullying choosing to close our eyes we get a harsh reality when someone commits suicide. It forces us to acknowledge the hard truth with open eyes that we have chosen to close for too long.

Bullying is the cause of many suicides and deaths (Home n. pag). In McCormack’s article, he explains how many students are bullied each day and harassed to the point where they question their own self-esteem. They are no longer

who were close to the victim may also be bullied because other kids might bully them, because they believe that since the victim was weak, their friends must be weak as well. In Australia there was a sibling issue with twins, one of the twins, brought a belt up to his room,and hung himself, but he realized that it would hurt and tried to claw his way out. This suicide devastated the entire community, psychologists were brought up into the school, months of psychological counseling, consequences spread through entire school as well as other schools throughout the community. Principal had to do intervention all throughout the school community, taking pills. The victim who committed suicide was only a 3rd grader.

Furthermore, bullies are the real cause of suicide. According to the Amanda Todd story she says a target will think about giving up on life never think that those are the worst thing you could say. Bullies will have a trauma from thinking about why they did that or how could they have prevented this. Stuff like that can mess a kid up. They already have been through enough. So just don’t bully and you will be ok.

What does research say about the connection between bullying and suicide? Bullying and suicide have a strong connection because being bullied in any way is an important risk factor that appears to increase the risk of suicide. When someone is being bullied and they think about committing suicide they have a negative thought in their head. In according to the CDC.Gov, “Young people who are involved in bullying increases the chances that a young person will engage in suicide-related behaviors.” Once victims are bullied they think there is no sense in living so they may take it upon themselves. Had they never experienced harassment, they may not have considered suicide at all, which proves the connection.

According to, "www.bullyingstatistics.org," "a study in Brittan found that at least half of suicides among young people are related to bullying." Bullies feel guilty because they feel that it was their fault that the victim hurt or committed suicide to themselves. This could even result in bully committing suicide to himself. The bully could commit suicide because all of the stress, guilt, and pain for being the cause of something as horrific as death. This being just one more thing the bully has to deal with when he or she commits to target a

Since 2010 there have been over 13 major cyber attacks in the US, the FBI categorizes the severity of the attack based on what could possibly be at stake such as information on US citizens or hijacking of critical information . Cyber attacks are classified as crimes committed with the aid of a computer. Cyber crimes are considered felonies, however most people who commit the crimes can usually not be found. Recently there has been an uprising in cyber crimes, in the year 2017 alone 9 minor incidents have occured (minor attacks can consist of malware and internet “trolling” which is a form of cyberbullying) and 4 major crimes have been committed. Most crimes consist of identity theft, robbery, and hijacking private information. Recently programmers have been able to build security systems that can detect a threat almost immediately. With a growing expansion of technology protecting information gets harder day by day. Cyber security is the body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access.

It is no surprise that the awareness of bullying has become intensified by easily accessible resources such as social media and that there are rapidly growing concerns for bully-related suicide in our youth today. Bully, a documentary directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, takes you on an emotional journey through the lives of five teenagers, all who have been victims of bullying. Of the five, two teens, Ty Smalley and Tyler Long, took their lives. Where the fact that merciless bullying occurred to these innocent children cannot be argued, the director does not make it clear if there were any additional circumstances or influences that may have contributed to the boy’s decision to take their own lives. The film simply leaves you believing that the bullying itself was a direct cause of suicide in both children. However, The Center for Disease and Control states, “The bottom-line of the most current research findings is that being involved in bullying in any way…is ONE of the several important factors that appears to increase the risk of suicide among youth” (5). Influences that increase risk, for example, may include: mental illness, disability, LGBTQ youth, substance abuse, lack of family support or support from the school. It is my belief that we must focus on the correlation between bullying and suicide-related behavior with evidence and to include other contributing factors, rather than accept misrepresentation

Cybercrime has become a fast growing concern for the 21st century as businesses, institutions and individuals grow into an interconnected web of computer networks. Online business transactions, along with the sharing of personal information, are vulnerable to a host of disasters that can reap economic and social havoc. Some sources say that today, cybercrime costs more than $1.0 trillion to society--Global Industry Analysts, Inc. forecasted the world cyber security market to reach $80 billion by 2017 (Gale, 2011).
