with rude comments and bullying. Words can hurt;

any victim of cyberbullying can attest to this. We need more reinforcements to take

place in order to stop this controversy that is happening every day and every where.

This is a form of bullying that isn’t noticed until it’s too late. This is causing the loss of

many young people who only wanted to enjoy an product made for entertainment and

socializing. In some places, cyberbullying is a crime punishable by law, but only a few

states have these laws and enforce them. Out of the fifty states in America, only

thirty-four states have laws against cyberbullying and electronic harassment. It’s clearly

shown how much the government and public order care about this situation in certain

areas. I live in one of the states where cyber bullying is not illegal, and I believe many

students would still be breathing and attending this school if there was something being

done to stop it. How are we suppose to believe that we have help in these situations if

the local government doesn’t do anything about it in Tennessee? Laws should be put in

place, schools should have programs to educate students more about this issue, and

awareness needs to be made a priority.

We’ve had the opportunity to use the internet for many years now. It is a privilege

to be able to use a great technology like the world wide web and all we’re doing is

taking advantage of this chance. Too many people are using it as a weapon of

destruction towards others, leading to young innocent teens taking their own lives.

Everyday that we don’t do something about this is a day where the numbers of suicidegrows higher and higher. We need to help the victims of cyberbullying while we can and

then find a way to stop it altogether. No parent should lose their child because a bully

wanted to hide behind a screen and make their child feel they are not important. You

can say that cyberbullying is a horrible thing, but if you don’t take action to stop it or help

a victim of cyberbullying, than you aren’t helping to find a solution for this problem.
