Many of us have experience bullying in some way or another. Bullying was mostly known to happen in school, but much of that has changed. “In the United States alone, estimates indicate that more than half a million people age 18 or older have been victims of cyber harassment. Not only does cyber harassment negatively affect social network sites, because victims tend to exit the service, but the emotional distress brought about by the online aggression can also cause victims to take their own lives”. Using social media has become an easy way for bullies to harass, threatened, and embarrass other people. What most teenagers don’t seem to comprehend is how overwhelming something of this manner can be for someone. Cyber bullying causes many teens to have low self-esteem, skip school, consume alcohol and drugs and even lead them to serious health
