I chose the topic cyberbullying because it’s a real problem that the society aren’t ready for. I know many people that have been cyberbullied. The consequences are bad and can be fatal. Most parents aren’t aware of the problem. About 37% of American kids have been bullied online.

Cyberbullying is a very big problem. Cyberbullying is a form of the normal bullying except it happens online. Cyberbullying can be done on cell phones and computers. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else.

Facebook has the highest level of abuse, Twitter second highest level of abuse. most cyberbullying happens online in addiction to Facebook and twitter there is social medias like tik tok, Instagram and snapchat where you have free possibility for being a part of cyberbullying.

If you get cyberbullied it’s important to document the message or the photo so you can report it to the social media site. Cyberbullying can have very bad consequences, like depression and self-harming. If a kid doesn’t have the best self-confidence or is not mental stable, then cyberbullying hits extra hard. And can even have worse consequences like suicidal thoughts or in worst cases suicide.
