Cyber Bullying



Before the Internet went corporate, a few key points revealed plenty about a person … name, location, even where you had been online and for how long, but now he or she can give you the finger (figuratively speaking) and the bully’s identity remains unknown. we all know what its called, Cyber-Bullying, and the National Crime Prevention Council reports it’s a problem that affects almost half of all American teens. Without a shred of accountability, bad behavior has no consequences online. But all that changed recently, when two court cases highlighted the inadequacy of the global village to rein in troublemakers. Attack on free speech? Plague of political correctness? Anarchy has reigned, except now the cyber bullies are getting sued by the cyber babies.

Cyber bulling is a major problem in todays society. I think people who did this are cowards. This is now a very serious matter. Cyber Bullying can lead to depression. Technology is great, but let's not try to abuse.
