Marketplace of ideas : cyber bullyin

For my market place of ideas, i wanted to study an issue that affected the lives of others so that we could become more aware of the issue and help it. Cyber bullling is an extension of bullying done at school though cyber bullying is dine through text, emails, online harrasibg, threats or sending mean messages in attempt to hurt somebody . Cyber bullying is done among young adolecsents and teens, the reasons for why kids take part in this action is because kids either do it to get revenge, because of frustration with another individual, or maybe for a just a way of entertainment. Its also a way to feel power and have control over somebody else. In this sense i mean someone who would be seen as ". Unpopular" or weak, is able be a bigger person online annonimsouly and has the capality to hurt someone who would be seen as "popular" or big/powerful in school. And its said that girls are more likly to be the bully and bullied Kids who take action in cyber bullying find it funny to torment somebody through the internet, but what they dont think about is how serious the consequences may be. For some kids who have expirienced cyber bullying their attitude and personality changes, they change schools and seek help but for some their life ends. And it does t have to go on like this. I think that one way that we could help is by starting to talk about the consequences about cyber bullying and what it is to kids in school at a younger age because it is most common in young adolescents and teens and i think that parents should be more attentive to thier child as they use the internet, cell phone etc. and its because that in studies i found out that only 1 out of 6 parents know that their child has been bullied online. Parents should limit kids time on the internet and they should study the signa of cyber bullying, to take notice if their child has problems after using the internet or their cell phone. And hopefully they can catch it early to prevent any furthor damages to this childs life.
