To begin, we must question what bullying actually is. Bullying may be defined as when an individual repeatedly and deliberately brings about harassment physically, mentally and emotionally towards another on a repetitive occurrence. As technology advances, the affect of bullying on individuals is a growing concern with the ability to reach victims in their own homes via social media.
