Every day more than 160,000 students do not go to school for fear of attacks or intimidation by other students, in other words of being bullied. Many of these students prefer not to say anything. Have you ever wondered what it feels like? Most people know that this happens everywhere but ignore it; not only that, some victims like to remain silent out of fear. Based on case studies and statistics, there is evidence to suggest that bullying can cause negative social, emotional and physiological effects on children. Types of Bullying There are many types of bullying, one of them is cyberbullying. Cyberbullying has become very popular nowadays. This type of bullying happens on the Internet, via SMS or any multimedia device. “Cyberbullying often possesses the absence of these characteristics and may be linked to the flexibility of online media, which can lead students to play the roles of bully, victim, and witness interchangeably” (Quillen 8). This happens when someone is teased, called out, or even threatened via email, text messages, or any social media. Some bullies tease others on social media by posting photos of other children and teasing them or by writing comments under other children's posts. This type of bullying can have a negative impact on a child's life because anyone has access to the Internet and anyone can pretend to be someone else and hurt other people. Not only do these kids hurt others through the Internet, they bring the Internet to life. What does this mean? After everyone sees what the bullies have posted, commented or said, they encourage it wherever they go by saying or laughing near the bullied kids; no one really tries to stop him.
