Cyber Bullying Among Children.


Cyber bullying is very common among teenagers, children, and preteens and occurs when one is threatened, harassed, embarrassed or humiliated with digital and interactive technologies, the internet or with mobile phones. The methods used in cyber bullying by children are only limited to one's access to technology and imagination. 
                   

Cyber bullying can take different forms, It may involve sending threatening, and mean images or messages, posting private and sensitive information about another person and excluding someone from a social online group. Cyber bullying can as well be as simple as continuing an email sent by someone and sending it to someone else with unfriendly information about someone else. It can also be making fun and teasing someone.  It can as well be websites created where kids can vote against other kids.

                 

Children could also take up cyber bullying for other reasons, like jealousy, revenge, and anger, and sometimes, they take up bulling for just entertainment. Some students also take up bullying so that they can feel better about themselves and to try to prove to other students that they are more powerful. They may try to do these to students who appear to be doing better than they in class or in other areas are. They may also bully other to revenge against an event that occurred to them where they were victims and now they want to be the bullies.

                

Cyber bullying has become so common in America because the bully usually remains anonymous and it becomes easy to bully without the risk of being caught.
