Cyberbullying
Bullying has been an issue for ages. It use to be something that a person gets at school or anytime among peers. These days people can't escape bullying, it follows them all the way home. Even when a person is alone they can be continuously bullied. It is otherwise known as cyberbullying, the deliberate abuse or harm caused to a person via the internet. It has become more common in society and people often use social networking sites, text messaging, e-mails, as means of getting it across. Victims of cyberbullying have lower self esteem, more suicidal thoughts and often avoid social activities with peers. The country is starting to combat cyberbullying. It is starting in the school systems in which a school can suspend or even expel a student from school for bullying another student.

I enjoyed this article because for a long time I kind of didnt really think bullying existed. I never saw anyone being forced to hand over their lunch money or anything. I also didnt understand how someone could be bullied..But after reading this post its more understandable how bullies can get to their victims via the web
