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.

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.
