Cyberbullying

At one point in our lifetime, we have either witnessed bullying or have been bullied whether it is in high school or elementary school. Bullies usually cause psychological or physical damage on victims. They usually humiliate victims in front of classmates. However, due to strict policies schools implement, bullying has decreased significantly in a school setting. Even though, traditional bullying decreased in schools, it has taken a new form and evolved from playgrounds to online bullying. In the article "Girl’s Suicide Points to Rise in Apps Used by Cyberbullies," it states that a girl committed suicide because she was being bullied online. It seems like cyberbulying is worse than tradition bullying because most of the time, the bullies cannot be identified.
