Since the dawn of time, people have been bullied in one way or another. This includes physical and verbal bullying. However, as we progress through time, we humans find new ways to bully others. A new way we have decided to hurt others is called cyber shopping. Cyberbullying involves harassing someone via the Internet. Cyberbullies mainly use social media to provoke someone. Text message harassment is also considered cyberbullying. Teenagers are an age group that experiences the most cyberbullying. This is because adolescents have not yet reached full maturity and do not fully understand the effects that bullying can cause. Cyberbullying is usually committed through social media sites. These include, but are not limited to, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, YouTube, MySpace and Facebook. Using these social media sites, cyberbullies lie and spread rumors. They also post negative photos or videos about a person. They tell offensive jokes to humiliate someone. They also do other things. But the main reason they do these things is to offend a person. Cyberbullying can be prevented using many methods. The most important method to stop cyberbullying is to confront it. The first step to talking to your bully is not to offend them. Most of the time they will continue to fight against you and this time it might even hurt more than the last.
