One thing I’m sure I 'm not the only one doing: just quickly checking Facebook, or Instagram. Then thirty minutes later I’m like, “Oh shoot!! I’m so stupid.” Paper ends up turned in late. That’s not the only time I get distracted though. When I’m spending time with my extended family, I tend to be on my phone a little more than usual. This is the norm for a lot of teens. Sometimes you’ll get scolded by your grandma or someone.  “Back in my day…” is something that my generation hears a lot. You know, “Back in my day… we didn’t have all those fancy gadgets. We had to write letters.” Sound familiar? Technology has become a part of most people 's daily lives.  Most people have a computer right in their pockets. Smartphones are an outlet to social media.

We all know that Cyberbullying is a decently sized problem, but real bullying is the most prevalent bullying issue today, right? Wrong. Over 90,000 kids will stay home from school because they have been bullied online, this out numbering the 70,000 by physical bullying. Children in the US are deeply manipulated by cyberbullying today because of our growing use of technology. This allows cyberbullying to sneak into our everyday lives without noticing it. This causes our youth to push away their real lives, sinking deeper into their glowing electronic screens and in a few cases, causes them to commit suicide.

As children develop throughout their school years they learn how to independently behave in a social context. This allows them to form relationships with people outside of their immediate family. However, this can be challenged if bullying is encountered. Farrington (1993) (cited in Holliman and Critten, 2015, p. 75) describes face-to-face bullying as; physical, verbal and psychological attacks or intimidation intended to cause fear, distress or harm to the victim. Furthermore, he concludes the characteristics commonly involve an imbalance of power, are unprovoked and incidents are repeated over time. To help address teenage bullying online two psychological approaches will be evaluated. Firstly, a developmental approach will review how children

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

Cyberbullying is a huge problem in the United States, that happens everyday. Cyberbullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature.

Imagine you are a parent of a child who commits suicide because they are bullied or dumped by their boyfriend / girlfriend, or they were gay. How would you feel? This is what is happening to teenagers in our generation. Megan Meier of Missouri hanged herself at age of thirteen because she was publicly dumped by her boyfriend. Also, Ryan Halligan took his life at the age of thirteen in New Jersey after rumors spread online that he was gay and Alexis Pilkington of New York got a harassing post on Facebook; even after her suicide, the issue is continued as an example of cyberbullying on a memorial website set up by friends called Giveeverythingbutup.com.

Cyberbullying is a growing epidemic that affects people in today’s society. In the first essay titled “Human Dignity” by Francis Fukuyama. Fukuyama holds a B. A. in classics from Cornell University and a Ph. D in political science from Harvard University. Fukuyama puts the idea of Human Dignity to light and the idea of Factor X. Fukuyama describes Factor X as “ What the demand for equality of recognition implies is that when we strip all of a person’s contingent and accidental characteristics away, there remains some essential human quality underneath that is worthy of a certain minimal level of respect” (144). Meaning that there are many factors in what makes a human rather than just based off one factor. In the second essay by Sharon Moalem

A man named John Halligan informs an article about his son named Ryan Patrick who killed himself in 2003 after being threatened and bullied by his classmates online for months (“Prosecuting Cyberbullies”).
