Generations after generations, teenagers have used the actions of bullying to hurt others who they feel are a threat or to be in the “crowd” of popularity. Traditional bullying was physical and therefore limited to face-to-face contexts. However, with the development of widespread social interaction via social media sites, emails, and text messages, adolescents have additional avenues of expression and, consequently, other means of bullying. Over time, bullying that occurs through digital means has become known as cyberbullying. Cyberbullying has brought evil out of the actions, words and thoughts of teenagers, regardless of whether they were the bully or the victim. Equally important, the end results of these actions, words and thoughts have led to death, limited but indefinite punishable consequences if prosecuted, and the slow progress of methods to control cyberbullying as a whole. What is cyberbullying? Cyberbullying is simply the use of technology and its accessibility. tools to repeatedly harass, hurt, and embarrass the targeted individual.
