Cyberbullying

People know that bully is wrong. In my opinion, there are some reasons why they do bullying, maybe they want to revenge, have power, just for entertainment because the victims are weird or they aknowning something.

Now, people like using technology like computer, laptop and smartphone that connect with internet. There are many social medias, so they can connect with their friends and get more information that everyone from kids, teen and adult can access it. Then, how about the internet safety? There are many activities that many people can do. Like more post selfies, stalks, checks in somewhere, and cyberbullies.

According to WhatIs.com, "Cyberbullying is the use of cell phones, instant messaging, e-mail, chat rooms, or social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to harass, threaten, or intimidate someone" (2010, "Cyberbullying" section, para.1).

There are some reason why people do bullying, like do revenge. Some people do revenge because they think that they are right, or maybe they want to protect their friends that they think their friends are right. They do something bad in their victims. In this case, cyber bullying is connected with internet, so the cyberbully sends threatening and rude messages.

They have a power. When they have been bullied or victimized in the real life, they continue with cyber bullying. They can mock, or taunt the victims, because  they feel like have more power than the victims. They can uncontrolled to bullying the powerless people.

To make an entertainment. Some people like to make some jokes and laughs to something funny. Sometimes they don’t know that it is hurting someone or group, so they like embrassing other people or other group, because they are weird or something else. Then, they post something bad in social networking.

Because of unknowing. You must be aware about something you posted in social networking, because many people will know your posts. If you send something, you have to check and think that it won’t hurting other people and miscommunication. There were some people that post something, but they have cyber bullied because the didn’t know the context and situation.

In my opinion, cyber bullying is a serious problem and we must aware about what should we post in social networking. Bully or cyberbully can impact in victims’ life. It can make stress, unconfident, introvert, anti-social, or maybe suicide. Especially teen, parents should more keep their child about bad and good things, and teach them to respect other people and think before do something.
