Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is a really serious issue in the online world. People should use the internet for good, but there are some people out there who abuse what the internet offers. Cyberbullying can occur just about anywhere in the computer world. Often, the bully can get away with it because some online sites can make a person completely anonymous. Because of this, this act of bullying discourages people from using the internet. Nobody should have to be scared or uncomfortable online. Unfortunately, the bullying could get so bad to the point where the victim may go through depression.. or in the worst case, attempt suicide.

It's not easy to stop cyberbullying, but there are some things to do to prevent users from feeling discouraged to use the internet.

• Luckily, most sites give you the ability to block someone from talking to you entirely.
• Other users can stick up for the victim to try to make the bully stop and leave the victim alone.
• If the cyberbullying situation gets too serious, you can get people offline to help you like family or friends. It's even possible to get the police involved to help you if it's that dire of a situation.

There are scary things that can happen on the internet. Though if you take the right precautions, the online world can be a great place.
