Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying has become a major problem in the Untied States. Throughout our history, bullying has evolved from physical violence to emotional attacks. These bullies have become smarter by not harming them physically, but have resorted to calling them harmful names. Not only does this bring the kid down, it also has a harmful effect on any of the friends of that kid. There are mnay problems with cyber bullying. For instance, most people have no idea that it is going on in the first place. Also kids that are cyber bullied are more likely not to share it with others because they think that they might get bullied more becasue of it.

Here is a definition of cyber bullying.



People say that cyber bullying will eventually stop. However, I say that it will never stop. If technology continues to increase as it has over the last decade, then there will never be a time where cyber bullying wont be there. However, people can strive to stand up against it. If people know that someone is being bullied, but they know that that person wont go to the authorities, then that person should advocate for them in their stead. People should be friends to those who are bullied because it might give them a reason to stand up. Cyber bullying can also be very depressing. It can cause suicide as well as high emotional states. We need  to be there for our friends.
