More than 160,000 students miss school every day, for fear of being attacked or intimidated by other students, that is, being harassed. Many of these students prefer not to say anything.

Types of Bullying There are many types of bullying, including cyberbullying. Cyberbullying had become very popular nowadays. This type of bullying takes place on the Internet, via text message or on any multimedia device. “Cyberbullying often lacks these characteristics and may be linked to the flexibility of online media, which can cause students to play the roles of bully, victim, and bystander interchangeably” (Quillen 8). . This is when someone is teased, named, called, or even threatened through emails, texts, or any other social media. Some bullies tease others on social media by posting pictures of other children and making fun of them or writing comments under other children's posts. This type of bullying can have a negative impact on a child's life because anyone has access to the Internet and anyone can pretend to be someone else and hurt other people. Not only are these children hurting others through the Internet, but they are also giving life to the Internet. What does this mean?
