Internet allows us to improve the quality of life.

It opens access to the previously inaccessible things,


connects the world in a way that was not possible, and allows people to share their work and thoughts
through social networking sites, blogs and video sharing. However, it has also disadvantages and one of
them is being prone to cyberbullying. With the advancement of technology, bullying can be done
through internet. Cyberbullying takes place over digital devices and can occur through SMS, Text, and
apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or share
content. This includes sending, posting or sharing negative, harmful, false or mean content about
someone else.

Online bullying, like other kinds of bullying, can lead to serious long-lasting problems. The stress of being
in a constant state of upset fear can lead to problems with mood, energy level, sleep, and appetite. It
also can make someone sad. If someone is already depressed or anxious, cyberbullying can make things
much worse.

It’s not just the person being bullied who gets hurt. The punishment for cyberbullies can be serious.
School may dismiss bullies from sport teams or suspend them from school. Some types of cyberbullying
may violate school codes or even break anti-discrimination or sexual harassment laws. So a bully may
face serious legal trouble.

But why would someone be a cyberbully? Sometimes, what seems like online harassment may be
accidental. The impersonal nature of text, messages, posts, and other ways of communicating online
means it can be hard to figure out if someone is joking or not.

Most people know when they’re being bullied, though, because bullying involves repeated insults or
threats. The people doing the bullying know they’ve crossed a line, too. It’s not a one-off joke or insult –
its constant harassment and threats that go beyond typical dun teasing or a nasty comment made in
anger.

Sometimes, we are afraid or not sure if we’re being bullied or not. So we don’t do anything about it. If
you’re being bullied, harassed, or teased in a hurtful way, or know someone who is you know, you don’t
have to suffer in silence. In fact, you should report any upsetting texts, messages, posts, or emails to
phone service or email providers. You should tell someone your situation especially to adults so that
they can help you. Stay away from social media for a while and ignore those bullies, resist the urge to
retaliate or respond, you can block online the bully as well, and make sure that you are safe online.
