Cyberbullying is a major problem and it is underestimated and it needs to be brought to light how serious the effect it has on teenagers. Not many realize what it does. Bullying that occurs in schools is very different from cyberbullying. Most of the time it is girls, while boys tend to bully in school, girls tend to cyberbully. Most students say it is easier to be cyberbullied than to be bullied at school. “Some days I'm afraid to open my laptop or check my phone.” A teenage victim of cyberbullying said so. Some people don't see the effect at all and don't understand it. It was just a joke, no big deal and they took it too hard. They are excuses to push back against cyberbullying and some of these are accepted and all is well. But what people can't understand is not good, not good. Almost 80% of teenagers use cell phones regularly. This is one of the reasons why cell phones are the most common place for cyberbullying to occur. It can affect every part of a person's life. As a teenager you can even imagine being so scared of looking at your phone that you were willing to go days without touching it. The cell phone is an important part of daily life, but it is also part of daily destruction. You can change your number and block other numbers but that doesn't solve the problem, this wonderful world has social media, which is also a part of life now almost everyone is on social media. When he leaves his phone and moves to the internet and social media then things are complicated. Once something is on the Internet it can never be deleted. Online stuff spreads FAST!! Sometimes it's nearly impossible to trace the source of bullying, let alone eliminate or stop it. Things go like this... middle of paper... or one could be the reason for someone's pain or death. In the end, how is it okay to mistreat someone just for your entertainment, even just to teach them something? lesson there are other ways to deal with the situation. Cyberbullying is a way to hide behind a screen. It's a way to cause pain to someone without real confrontation and teachers can't do anything about it. Now a teenager can face this situation every day or do it every day. Something can never be erased and I am forever online to hug someone.
