Cyberbullying

 Today, I had to complete an assignment about an issue in social media. I then had to talk about the issue on a podcast. I surprisingly had some fun with this assignment. The topic that I chose to talk about what cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a huge issue in the world today and sadly it will only keep growing based on the development of social media nowadays. According to stopbullying.org, cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. This bullying is “popular” because there is no retaliation involved. People can just hide behind a screen and belittle someone without any repercussions. People also do this many times because there are fewer emotions involved. The person doing the bullying can’t see the reactions of the victim. The person bullying doesn’t necessarily have any guilt about it because they can’t see the reactions. I personally have come over many forms of cyberbullying in my life growing up with social media. I have seen the damage of what it can do on people, and I have seen the person bullying show no remorse. If you are being cyberbullied, you should speak up. If you don’t speak up and suffer in silence nothing will get done and you will continue to get worse. It is of utmost importance that we stop cyberbullying at all costs because it is damaging people and damaging lives.
