There needs to be things done by social media companies to help prevent the cyberbullying along with parents, schools, and other places people are exposed to daily. “If we overlook the ease with which our own children can unwittingly add to the horror of damaging someone’s life by passing on the secrets, privacy or exposure of another with a simple click, we make cyberspace a dangerous place” (Phillips). The “cyberspace” is a very dangerous place and it’s upsetting seeing people feel unsafe to even use the internet at all. Cyberbullying needs to be stopped because of the outcomes that it brings.
