CYBER-BULLYING



Bullying is an act of aggression and an unwanted behavior that involves intimidating or physically harming the other person. When it comes to cyber bullying, the social media is involved, including Facebook, twitter, etc., which becomes a mean of such offensive behavior that could cause self destruction in one's’ life. This act has been affecting the lives almost everyday.

It is observed that the predominant age range goes from nine to sixteen, most of them being girls. Can you imagine a nine year old boy or girl being socially harassed almost everyday? This really is devastating. Over the years the figures have been increased to one million children being bullied on social media. That’s an awful lot of kids. Cyber bullying can lead to anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Once things are posted on the Internet, they are there forever.

Most of the bullying is done via instant messaging. It is proven by statistics that cyber bullying decreases kid’s self-esteem. Self-esteem is very important. A person is just incomplete without it. Middle school students are very young. Just think about your little brother or sister thinking about killing themselves.

I Safe.org stated that fifty eight percent of kids admit that they have not told a parent/adult about being insulted online. It seems like kids are afraid to speak up about being cyber bullied. They are probably scared of being called a snitch, or being bullied even more. It’s important that we let kids/teens know that they shouldn't be afraid to let someone know. An adult is more powerful than a kid or teen.

Cyber bullying has been a major worry to the authorities. They have been taking care of such things, keenly. As far as the punishments are involved, i prefer that the bully should be suspended or expelled according to the extent of their deed, and to also observe their self realization. After all, this is a matter of humanity.
