Cyber Bullying needs to end.

                                                                                                        When a person thinks of bullying in our thoughts we normally think bullying as verbal abuse of physical abuse from another person. There are different types of bullying and this specific one is called Cyber Bullying. With technology becoming a bigger and bigger part of society teenagers tend to use this ability to be able to bully someone over a computer, or cell phone. Just like regular bullying, cyber bullying can just be as bad and harmful as regular bullying. Cyber bullying is more of an attempt to get a teenager or child to feel bad about them self just not face to face. People who are the cyber bully can make threats and think it is okay for that them to do it without even thinking about that persons feelings.

     Some bullies are actual victims of the real world, and they just go online and feel powerful when they bully other teenagers. Some bullies keep to themselves and just wanted to extend there sphere of influence and power on the "world." Then there are bullies who just like showing off and think it is cool to hurt another persons feelings over the internet. To stop cyber bullying we need to make sure parents understand and know what their children are doing on the internet, make rules for them, make sure they understand the dangers of the internet.         


     
      Nothing on the internet is between you and just one person, everyone on that specific website or even just on the internet can see what you post to a person. Things like Myspace, Form spring and Facebook are most well known websites on where cyber bullying can happen. Statistics show that cyber bullying is among one of the most serious problems among teenagers in this generation. Just like bullying, cyber bullying can lead to things such as depression, anxiety and even suicide. To many "cyber bullies" they think that making fun of another teen is funny over the internet and harmless. But they never understand the consequences of what can happen if you are caught bullying another person over the internet.
