Those who don’t understand the consequences of an Internet bully have often never been bullied. They say that things like bullying don’t happen frequently over the internet and their repercussions are not severe or even an issue. However, statistics show that 58% of kids admit someone has said mean or hurtful things to them over the internet while 42% of kids called it bullying. Actually, four out of ten kids say that this has happened more than once. It needs to end.
This is a complex, two-sided message that not only tells the audience how serious a problem internet bullying is, but also shows the denial aspect of the American public. Those who do not think cyber bullying is a serious topic are ignorant to reality and should do all that is in their power to stop cyber bullies in their track. Just because they have not experienced it first hand, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
