It’s unbelievable to think that people can say things like that and get away with it. People don’t understand that words hurt and that they will stick with you for the rest of your life.

11. Cyber bullying is causing lots of problems, one example is a girl that got cyber bullied before and after she committed suicide. Before her death, she posted a video on YouTube talking about her experience with bullying. Not only did she get cyber bullied, she also got verbally, and physically bullied. She also got blackmailed the whole time. The pain of the experience caused her to self harm, then kill herself. Because of the blackmailer she had to constantly change schools, but the bullying got worse because the blackmailer would find her information and tell everybody about her past.

12. Some things to do to prevent cyber bullying is to never share information online if it can be used against you. Watch your tone when you communicate online and don’t participate in cyber bullying behaviour. Something else we can do is to support and help the people that are being bullied by upstanding. Something you should remember is that once you put something on the internet, it stays there forever.
