Cyberbullying is the act of harrasing others online. It is a form of bullying that takes place virtually across social media platforms, texts, or emails. Cyberbullying has risen with the use of technology. It has caused many deaths and self harm amongst people, especially teens and children. Personally, I don't know anyone that has gotten cyberbullied constantly to where it bothered them but I have seen how people can be extremely hateful towards others. I have seen people hate on individuals that are doing good things like athletes, scientists, and even presidents. I have also witnessed people that I don't know being bullied over things they wear, their personality, or things they enjoy. There are many hateful and envious people in this world which is why cyberbullying is a problem. It seems to be embeded in the brain of some to have hate in their heart and mind which they then project to others who are vulnerable. Most the time it is the bully who is insecure with themselves or envy their victim. I have had bullies try to mess with me but i am always tough on them so they know that i am not someone to mess with. Most the time when you stand up for yourself and don't pay attention to the bullies you can brush them off, but it is when it becomes constant and by many people when it becomes a problem. There are some people that live with constant bullying and cyberbullying that start to believe what the aggresors have to say. Some of the psychological effects bullies have on their victims is they can cause them to be depressed, have anxiety problems, and self esteem issues. This can cause a person to feel alone and unwanted by the rest of the world. Sometimes all these effects of bullying lead to a person trying to end their lives and that leads to serious injuries or a family that lost a loved one. Cyberbullying is a topic that should be taught more in school because how is someone going to be able to learn or live with the constant harassment. We should also find a way to help victims and punish the bullies. Many people even at our age are bullies and try to be cool infront of others by putting people down. People that do this are losers and foolish, they should educate themselves on how to treat people with love and respect.
