Cyber Bullying

Cyberbullying

By Jervon Johnson

Over 25 percent of teens have been bullied repeatedly through their phone or on the internet. Also over 80 percent of teens use cell phones regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for cyber bullying. Then there is also a large amount of teens that end up committing or attempting suicide sadly. This is all because people use the internet for the purpose of harming or intimidating others    to make them feel better about themselves. There are many ways to hurt a human being and this is a big part of it.

There are so many ways cyber bullying can occur for example social media, youth or children between the ages 12 and 17 kids are all over social media and they spend half of their day using it my guess is that probably over a million kids a day are being harassed on social media which might lead them to the destruction of depression. But no one really realizes that until someone is hurt emotionally and physically. Then all of a sudden everyone is standing up for the person who was being bullied after the damage is already done.

as a community all this can change. Instead of getting down on someone we could lift and support each other. You never know what a person is going through in life and never know what a person is going to do or where a person is going to go, that’s why you never take anyone for granted.
