The Rise of Cyber Bullying
As the usage of the internet increases, so too will the rate at which cyber bullying will occur. There are mainly two types of people using the internet:the bullies and their victims. The victims are usually the ones victimized by the bullies and end up getting hurt mentally.
Most of the consequences cause by cyber bullying are worst than you think, with some victims even going to the length of commiting suicide. But one good question about cyber bullying is that what do cyber bullies get from bullying people on the internet? Is it the sadistic pleasure of seeing the victim squirm and struggle behind their computers? Or do they get some sort of twisted joy by bullying others and seeing them suffer? Only those bullies themselves can answer these questions.
Though they might be bullies on the internet, they might not be bullies in real life. Instead, they might even be the victims of other bullies! That's why they resort to bullying others on the internet to make themselves feel better. Another reason that contributes to why cyber bullying is so rampant throughout the world wide web is because the chances of them getting caught is lower and they can fulfill their sadistic needs without getting caught.
There are a few precautions that teenagers should take when using the internet.
Firstly they should not talk to strangers on the internet unneccessarily as they never know the person that they might be interacting with and what might happen next.
Secondly, they should not enter any websites that might give their enemies a chance to attack them.
I think that the government should step up on their efforts to ensure websites that requires anybody to disclose their personal information is fully legitimate. Parents should also block out any websites that might be a potential threat to their children as they might not know the extent of the influence the website might have on their children.
Lastly, this is a message to those cyber bullies: Is what you are doing realy what you want to do? Does watching other people suffer because of you give you pleasure and is it really necessary to do that in order to live?
