Why would anyone want to make someone feel this way? Cyber-bullying is the act of harassing through electronic communication. According to my current research I have found that six out of fourteen high school juniors and seniors have admitted to being cyber-bullied. That is close to half of the random students surveyed. Cyber-bullying can occur on multiple different platforms, such as social media, through texts or by phone call. Cyber-bullying can be an awful experience for the victims, but a lot

Unfortunately, as technology has evolved, so has bullying as students were once only bullied at school or on the playground, but were free
“Bullying is usually defined as being an aggressive, intentional act or behaviour that is carried out by a group or an individual, repeatedly and over time, against a victim who cannot easily defend him or herself” (Olweus, 1999).

Whether through texts, personal calls, photo messages, e-mail, online chat rooms, or blogs, today’s teenagers are discovering ways to significantly endanger one another (Ackers 142). Transferring traditional bullying methods into cyberspace, adolescents are put at harm from cyberbullying by simply using the Internet. If bullied at school, a child could always flee from the negative environment to be protected; however, with cyberbullying, victims could be bombarded

Bullying includes physical harassment, gossiping, spreading rumours, and insults; there are many types of bullying such as Cyberbullying, Covert Bullying, physical and verbal bullying. The most common in schools out of these types of bullying is Cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is when children or teens are harassed by other children or teenagers with the use of internet. It
would be spending time scrolling through a phone and seeing how others are living their lives thinking less of your own. Not only is social media a problem because of the time teens spend on it but also because of the issues of social media with cyber bullying.
