The Effects

Cyber-bullying is a great opportunities for bullies to bully. The Internet gives them the ability to bully and remain anonymous and not see the reaction of their victims. The victims however are the ones that feel all the pain. Bullying really puts hurt into others, and can inflict serious emotional pain into someone. Cyber-bullying to some may seem harmless, but it is not just an issue to let slide by. Children have fear of going to school to get bullied, they have fear of getting their lunch money taken away, and now they have fear that someone wrote something mean on their FaceBook wall, or in a degrading email. The effects of cyber-bullying cut through the skin, and more often than not hurt more than physical pain.
