CYBER BULLYING

   Bullying is deliberate behavior affecting the whole life of each person. It is the act of harming a preteen or a teen via technology and is usually perpetrated by the individual’s peers. In the contemporary world, with the entry of the internet, bullying has changed its form. The new form is cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is  torment or torture using the internet, interactive and digital technologies. But what are the results of this intentional behavior? How does it affect victims?

     First of all, owing to the scope of the internet, a mention or a voice recording can reach the entire  world. Therefore, a few minutes are enough to humiliate, insult and taunt a person. Then, the victim's life becomes a nightmare. He/she may start to cry constantly, stay at home, be a depressive and anxious person. Like Amanda Todd, this victim also looks for a person who is reliable. Unfortunately, if she cannot find the person, the outcome can be trying to commit suicide. This means that he chooses death to living which  means that he has given up his dreams and his future. 

  Secondly, a person who is attacked by a cyber bully can become a diffident and unsocial person. This shyness could be the cause of missed opportunities. Whereas he could be a successful and happy person, he is only able to witness others' success, not his own success. Thus, his life ends up becoming meaningless. 

    To sum up, bullying has changed its form. It has become cyber bullying which is the act of harming via the internet. This meaningless and humiliating torture has been affecting all victims’ lives. They can even think about killing themselves. Even if they do not think about  suicide, their lives can become their nightmares. To solve this issue, every single person should empathize and notice that nobody is perfect. The only thing we must do is embrace our weakness and start to accept everyone with their mistakes, not taunt them.
