Opinion:
Cyber Bulling is an awful thing and I believe it is much worse than when someone bullies you to your face. Kids can't retaliate because there is no way of defending themselves which makes me think that people who cyber bully are people who act tough but are actually scared of what might happen. It's interesting that cyber-bullying causes a deeper depression, also with this increasing it could cause more depression in kids which would be really sad. I would hate to see one of my friends go into depression because of someone bullying them.
Cyber bullying is an inevitable stage of life in the current era; just as bullying was inevitable in our parent’s generation. While it does play an impact on the victims’ life, it is up to the victim how much that it affects him/her. The reason that cyber bullying plays so a big role in the lives of young teenagers is because they spend an excessive amount of time social networking on the net; the best way to avoid cyber bullying is to not be exposed to those that bully. Furthermore, teens should not put into heart about what people say over the internet; because some you don’t even know and why take something that serious when the bullies do not have the gut to say it to your face? However, cyber bullying is still bullying and should not be tolerated.
