Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying has seemed to been arising as more and more teens are able to interact with each other. Because this socially interactive technology is available to us 24/7, students are bringing their school lives homes and taunting other students. It is a shame that many students are under as much pressure to be forced into committing suicide. It is also appalling that all of this is taking place with parents not being knowledgeable of what is happening in their children’s lives. We cannot blame parents though, because if their children want to hide something, they will and it is the parent’s responsibility to interact and communicate with their children in order to find this information out. What I would like to know is why hasn’t this topic been drawn to the attention of schools and made more important. Students and school faculty should be made aware that this is something that is happening and something needs to be done. Of course, we have all experienced peer pressure, but home has been the safe haven where those who are pressured go in refuge. Now, they are under attack everywhere they turn because of cyber space. There is always good and bad to technology, and this is one of those bad moments.
