#)
Cyberbullying is like ragging on the
internet repeatedly except it happens
in front of hundreds or thousands of
mutual friends..
..and because it happens on the
internet those offensive messages
never go away. Theyre scars that
remain on the cyberbullying victim
Cyberbullying is something that no
one likes to talk about. They dont
even like to admit that it exists and
yet millions and millions of people
Question?
Bullies dont realize the scars they leave on their
victims. They dont think before they act.
Even if schools or other people help the cyberbully
stop bullying the victim, the painful scars remain
and it will stay with them forever.
Students that get cyberbullied never speak up to the
teachers, friends and even parents. Schools dont
really do much about cyberbullying other than
suspend, or even expel the bully. But that doesnt do
around the world suffer from it.
Social media sites are telling cyber
bullying victims to stop what theyre
doing, block the cyberbully then
immediately go tell a parent or
guardian...unfortunately only nine out
of ten cyber bullying victims dont tell
anyone that theyre being cyber
bullied.

or sometimes even friends that theyre being bullied
Schools cant do much when students get bullied.
They just suspend them or sometimes expel. But
that doesnt make the bully stop threatening/making
fun of the victim.
Lots of cyber-bullies torment their victims because
they think others enjoy watching others get teased
or because they think itll be something that others
will laugh at. Cyber-bullies dont think before they
act. They type, send and think everythings fine.
