Cyber Bullying
The world is growning with concerns and problems that people hardly realize, but an abundance of these problems aren't heard becuase the victims are paralyzed with fear. One of these concerns is bullying. There are a myriad different ways someone can get bullyed like verbal and indirect. Parents think their children are angles where in most cases its not ture. A post on facebook or text message is all it takes to lower their confidence. While beating up some is a clear sign of harassment, cyber bullying doesn't rasie the red flag until it's too late.
Bullying on a daliy basis occurs in school, often not reported. There are a lot of reasons why it's not reported, vitcms are unsure to speak. I think it's the school fault fot not teaching kids how to deal with the bullying problem. If the school stood up and help the studnets we wouldn't have this problem. I know this from personal expericnce, were i see people get hurt and nothing done.
As technology growning cyber bullying will be more common. All it takes is just a Facebook wall post and everyone can see it. On Facebook it's easy to talk. but hard to identify. I believe people use online bullying because they can't see the harm done, but it could also be someone doing it to feel better. Socail network sites should not support bullying becuase a lot of harm is cause online.
Parents should speak to their children about bullying. so they can have a better understanding. Every parent thinks thier kids are nice and well taugth, but not online they can be a different person. Kids could do anything becuase of the lack of paraenting. I am not saying to be strict, but just need to lay down the rules. Parents could have something to do with the bullying maybe the bully is getting rid of his pain on others.
Increasing rates of bullying is a serious problem in teen lives, making it hard for them to be confident. Creating a

    Bullying came in the form of physical abuse, verbal, and sexual abuse, before social media became widespread through the use of computers and the Internet. According to Delisi et al. (2014) “Bullying is formally defined as using one’s strength or status to intimidate, injure, or humiliate another person of lesser strength or status” (p.336). Today, if not everyone, almost everyone uses some form of technology to communicate either through email, text message, online chat, or social media. Because of these easier forms of communication from person to person, it has made it easier for bullying to take place outside of public settings. Online bullying allows bullies to harass the victim anywhere at any given time. Cyber-bullies find it easier to say and do mean things online than in person. The popularity of online interaction has led to online predators, which years ago could only happen physically. Predators can now browse the internet looking for victims such as Amanda Todd and use online capabilities to harass…

    Explanation: Being bullied has become the norm in our schools across the world. When someone is bullied, they feel as if the whole world is against them. They feel as if maybe they deserve this torment. The individual doing the bullying believes in their own mind they are doing this person a service by making them feel inferior. That they are somehow “helping” the victim. Children or adults, who choose to torment and bully someone else, fully deserve to be held responsible for their actions. That responsibility lies in the hands of the school or others who are aware of the ongoing issue. If a teacher, parent or another adult is aware of this; they should be obligated to report this type of abuse to local authorities. The person doing the bullying should be charged with a crime and be held to the same standard as someone who seeks out to stalk or harass. There is no difference.…

    In fact, it is like a norm in our culture and there’s no solution to stop the bullying. Some of the case were reported and filed but some of the cases were just being ignored. Mostly because it is already part of the culture and children tend to experience bully at least once in their life. According to Karin S. Frey, it is hard to get information about bullying case from the victim because they are not telling the truth and keeping it as a secret. Socially skilled students are much more adept at keeping their bullying secret (Frey, 2005). As this is a cultural norm already, a researcher did an observation and asked a 10 year old girl about cyber bullying and she exclaimed, “Cyber bullying oh my god! It 's another way to bully just over the computer. Some people do cyber bullying as a joke and don 't know what it feels to be bullied.” (Mishna, Saini & Solomon, 2009). The new generation already exposed with technologies, computers, internet and new things hence, they know what is happening on the internet and what is cyber bullying all…
