Why is it important to delete Cyber bullying

“Why is it important to work to delete cyber bullying?”
Cyber bullying is when someone is harassing someone else online with electronic means like a phone or computer or even through messaging. It’s a type of bullying that is not face to face. The difference between cyber bullying is different is because it can happen twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Some may be bullied when they are by themselves. There are many risks to cyber bullying, the worst one would be attempt of suicide because the victim might be confused and might not know how to ask for help. The victim may start physical harm. “Physical harm and include depression, anxiety, social isolation and an increased risk for attempting suicide’, said Peggy Andover, a psychology professor at Fordham University in New York. Usual they victim will turn to alcohol or drugs because they think that they can run away from their problems.

They might start skipping school, and might not want to attend school because they might want to isolate themselves. That leads to low grade and a high chance of dropping out of high school. The victim might suffer from low self-esteem and all of these effects of cyber bully can cause health issues. In a report by the ABC News in 2006, a survey was conducted on 1500 students in the grades between 4-8 and gave the following findings.42% of the children had experienced some form of bullying while online. 35% of them had received threats while online.21percentage had received threatening and mean emails or other forms of messages. 58% of the kids admitted that they had received hurtful information while online while the most shocking statistic was that 58% of these kids did not tell any adult about the form of harassment they receive while online.

This clearly shows that a very large number of teenagers are being involved in cyber bullying and their parents or teachers are not even aware. Just imagine how many victims there are suffering because of cyber bullying. Imagine how most of these victims live are completely ruin because of cyber bullying. There are way too many victims in our society. Cyber bullying needs to be stopped. There need to be more people involved in school and in the community and parents need to be involved at home. It’s very important to inform as many people as possible about the statistics and help them to become involved so that the amount of bystanders can decrease. That way when someone wants to bully someone on the internet they’ll think twice about. I also believe that cyber bullying should be illegal and that bullies get fined for their actions. I know that its illegal in some states but it would be more productive if it were illegal in all states. I can’t see why it hasn’t been done yet but people should know not to take cyber bullying lightly.

With everyone’s help and support I’m pretty sure that that cyber bullying will be deleted. It takes a community to get things done and I believe with a little of support from friends and family and especially adults there can be an end to this. Then maybe with the help of some higher power like the government there can be a stronger law against cyber bullying. I’m tired of seeing innocent people get hurt. It’s important to delete cyber bullying because this will decrease suicide rates and decrease the amount of people with low self-esteem. Everyone deserves to be happy and no one deserves to be hurt
