This ties into social justice because no one should be treated like dirt over the internet. Bullying is against the law, no matter if it’s verbally or physically. Unfortunately, some teens do commit suicide because of this, and it’s very sad. An article that I read had some interesting statistics about cyber bullying. Here are the top three that I thought were the most interesting; "Overweight and obese kids are 63% more likely to be bullied, 39% of social network users experience cyber bullying, and 56% report that cyber bullying has real-world consequences."

Cyber Bullying
Cyber Bullying has been a major
issue in the past years because of social media. Social media has been
gradually increasing and it will continue in the future. Cyber bullying is
verbally abusing somebody over the internet and it usually occurs with
teenagers. In some ways cyber bullying can be even worse because it is on the
internet where everybody can see it. I’m afraid it will be gradually become a
problem because digital media is very huge and popular right now. The sky is
the limit to where social media can go. The three most popular types of social
media include, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The most common website that
could cause problems is Twitter because it is very similar to texting and once
you post a message to a person your following, others can see it right away.
The internet can be very dangerous and some people are brutally mean, which
could lead to consequences.
