Cyberbullying In the United States of America, Cyberbullying has been in the rise. The problem has been facilitated that, technology use has been on the increase by almost everybody. The fact that technological devices such as Smartphone, iPad and laptops has made it easy for people to access the internet and use it for own reasons.

Introduction Historical records demonstrate that bullying is not a new phenomenon and continues to be a contemporary problem affecting many individuals daily. The twenty-first century saw the rapid rise of technology, internet access, and usage on social media platforms, introducing a new era of communication and interaction within a digital space. Unfortunately, the misuse of technology has created a new form of bullying, referred to as cyberbullying. “Bullying” is traditionally regarded as a deliberate and repeated act of aggressive behaviour in a physical space, with a power imbalance between the victim and the bully. On the other hand, “Cyberbullying” adheres to the exact definition but generally with the use of the internet and other digital
In some instances, cyberbullies have used these and other mediums to post potentially embarrassing photos or videos of their victims online for everyone to see” (Differences…, 1). Bullying has become an increasing problem because of the use of technology as a means of bullying in addition to the traditional type that many people are used to. The effects of cyberbullying can be extremely devastating to teenagers, as stated in the following quote, “Cyberbullying can be so serious that it has resulted in teen suicide” (Teens and Technology 1). Teenagers who are bullied on the internet are several times more likely to commit suicide than those who are not cyberbullied. Cyberbullying is not the only dangerous effect of technology on
There have been two unfortunate suicidal cases in recent years due to cyber bullying: one victim jumped off a cement factory tower with the one shot himself in the chest. A group of Dutch researchers decided to study the relationship between the bullying and the suicides. From 34 studies that shared close resemblance to the issue, they concluded that the children that were being cyber bullied was 3.12 times more likely to have suicidal thoughts, compared to children that were had never been bullied before. One of the researchers also pointed out that annually, about five to eight percent of the US population attempts to commit
Questions and Answers Project 2 If people have continued to commit suicide over cyberbullying, why hasn’t it been considered a crime? Cyberbullying is the most overrated way of harassing and bullying in society that has affected every age whether it’s in school or work. My question is, why hasn’t there been a law pass to make cyberbullying a crime. It is a question that I am eager to discover and understand the reasons of why it has not been considered a serious crime in today’s society.
Cyber-bullying on social media allows bullies to act as anonymous and cause victims to suffer in silence. This negatively impacts the teenager’s mental and psychological state where they will face loneliness, depression and higher levels of anxiety that can be seen on teenagers who encountered cyber bullying on social media. For example, teenager posting his/her naked photos on the internet which developed an emotional disturbance as thing will escalate and deteriorate from there. This can be due to the availability to access sexually related material which has cause to the increase of the issue. Cyber-bullying has also caused many teenagers to commit suicide as a form to get away from such humiliation when bullied.
One of the biggest issues of online communication is cyber bullying. It is defined as, ‘‘the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others” (Baas, de Jong, and Drossaert, 1). There is so much anonymity online which makes it difficult for cyberbullying to stop. From personal experience, I have been cyberbullied on social media websites like Youtube. People commented hurtful things on my videos, I was fifteen at the time, so I did not tell my parents.
This is the first century and technology has never been better. It has become so advanced that it has opened up opportunities for jobs, learning, and bullying. It is now easier than ever to bully someone all hours of the day, and to make the bullying follow them wherever they go. Cyberbullying never used to be much of a problem, in fact it didn’t use to exist. But now with all the new technology, and all the freedom online cyber bullying happens everyday.
The study that was carried out by a sample group comprised middle students revealed findings that learners are highly the ones involved in cyber bullying (Çetin et al.,2012). Many characteristics emerged regarding the risk factors and frequency of the students being involved in cyber bullying. Unlike in the physical bullying where the victims of such actions represented a small and vulnerable group of children, the current research showed that the victims of the cyber bullying comprise a larger group. Risk factors were also established among three categories of children depending on a number of hours they spent on a computer. As much as technology has been efficient in global operations today, a limitation should be considered when it comes to teenagers and young people.
Students in middle school and elementary school can benefit from the experiences of their seniors. High schoolers who have had experiences with cyberbullying should be called on to educate their peers about the dangers of cyberbullying as well as how to overcome it. Providing real experiences will express the seriousness of cyberbullying. Furthermore, talking to younger students will require high schoolers to recall their time as elementary and middle schoolers. This will allow high school speakers to provide a detailed and useful talk.
Fast innovations, such as the Internet, are constantly changing how people interact. Although this development has been approved human beings to make great progress in many areas, they have also allowed the form of violation to become more widespread. This is evident when looking at how traditional bullying has grown became today's issue known as cyberbullying. Although bullying and cyberbullying are often similar in shape and their technique also has a lot of difference. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying allows offenders to close his identity behind the computer.
General academic debate on the issue of cyber bullying The amount of academic research focus on cyber bullying has been increased steadily as a result of the increasing prevalence of access to internet and social media. Gradually, two competing perspectives on the topic of cyber bullying emerged. Cyber bullying is a unique form of violence different from traditional physical bullying A number of scholars endorsed the perspective which considered cyber bullying to be different from traditional physical bullying. Specifically, cyber bullying is different from traditional bullying as its effects on the victims were more severe than the consequences of being victimized by traditional physical bullying (Bonanno and Hymel 2013).
Cyber Bullying has become an increasing problem in our society that threatens physical and emotional harm to ever greater numbers of young people. The sad fact is, some youths are so deeply affected by the negative influence of bullying that they have taken their own lives. Although suicides represent a rare and extreme reaction to bullying, it is a real issue that our children are facing today. Cyberbullying is often a factor in young people becoming depressed and having low self-esteem. Cyberbullying has been an issue, in the United States as well as everywhere throughout the world.
It is no wonder why people experience these depressing feelings, because cyberbullying, as defined in Source One, is, “[Any behavior that] must be repeated, hostile, and severe with the intent to embarrass, threaten, or harass.” Cyberbullying is extremely bad for one’s physiological health. However, as presented by Kirk Sigmon, author of “Sacrificing the First Amendment to catch ‘Cyberbullies’,”“[T]he idea that hurt feeling justify criminal prosecution at all is an offensive use of the criminal justice system…” However, cyberbullying is not an issue that should be ignored; it needs to be presented to attention so that it may be stopped. Cyberbullying is hurting other people and ruining their lives, not to mention the quantity of people affected due to the availability of technology in our daily
