Sir: One of the biggest things that people of online communities tend to overlook is the fact that words do hurt. Although these things that are hurtful are not being said online, saying them online can amount to just as much hurt and maybe even more.
I’m sure everyone is familiar with what cyberbullying is, but in case anyone is unfamiliar with it, I will define it. According to stopbullying.gov, cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cellphones, computers, and tablets. If you were thinking that cyberbullying is only on websites, than you may have to broaden your mind. Everyday, people around the world are faced with bullying in general, and it is one of the leading causes in suicides.
I have been a witness and a victim of cyberbullying and have seen the effects that it can have on the victims and overall online communities that play a part with it. Cyberbullying is easily seen and more accessible on social media sites just because of the social freedoms that the sites allow us to have. I hope that in the future, social sites can find some way to automatically delete any type of cyber-threatening posts; I would love to do all within my power to try to stop the online bullying that occurs. In this post I will talk about why cyberbullying should be stopped, its effects on social sites, methods that could be taken in order to prevent it.
