Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is when you intentionally hurt someone in social websites. If you call someone names on Facebook that are derogatory to that person, that is an example of cyberbullying. According to the article, (Warily, Schools Watch Students on the Internet), "The problem has taken on new urgency with the case of a 12-year-old Florida girl who committed suicide after classmates relentlessly bullied her online and offline." Bullies will do anything to humiliate the victims publicly so that the victim gets in trouble and the bully gets away with it. If no one speaks up and stands up to the bully, then the victim will feel miserable for the rest of his/her life.
