Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is a tremendous and growing problem. The thing is that adults are not always around to catch this. What can adults do if you are around? Cyberbullying is through texting, emailing, not letting people be apart of a social network, and even the chat rooms. Name calling and being plum mean is a form of cyberbully on the computer or phone.

Cyberbullying can cause stress and emotional drama. Students have died for this. Students should not have to deal with this, and they need to tell adults if this is happening in their school.
