Cyber Bullying Essays
Did you know that approximately 43 percent of young adults and teens have had experiences with bullying online? In fact, studies show that 1 in 4 young adults and teens has experienced it more than once and 81 percent of young people feel that bullies get away with bullying online because it is so much easier than doing it in person. Social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, has become the home of so many young adults and teens. It has grown popular worldwide with people of all ages using them. With the increase in popularity of social networking sites, online activity and messaging apps, online bullying is increasing every day and has tripled within the last year. Users do not realize how easy it has become for someone to get their information, and how easy it is to have that information used against them for bullying. Social media lacks when it comes to the privacy and security of its users, leaving its users to become easy targets for bullies to get away with verbally abusing and threatening other users.
The loss of privacy on social media over the years has led to an increase in online bullying. For example, all your personal information such as what city and state you live in, your phone number, what school you attend, and email addresses can be seen by people who aren’t even on your friend’s list. According to internetsafety101.org, statistics say 72 percent of teens have a profile on a social networking site or app, and roughly 47 percent have a profile on a social networking site or app that can be seen by anyone. This has made it easy for people to be able to use user information to bully social media network users. Social media network users do not realize how easy it is to be able to use their information. Not only is your information used as a weapon against you, but your information can even be used by bullies to be able to find you. Your information such as what school you attend, what city you live in, phone number, and email, are displayed to everyone, even those who aren’t on your friends list, and even strangers. Bullies can even copy all of your photos and information to make a fake profile of you. I myself, am a victim to a fake with all my information.
It seems unfair to become a victim of bullying, and no one suffering any kind of consequences for it. Social networking users have to go through being insulted, humiliated, and not be able to do anything about it. It is very easy for a bully to change their name and age on a social networking profile. They can open profiles with different photos too. Having a fake profile makes it easier for someone to bully you and go unpunished for it. Bullies can even tag a photo of you without your permission, and also tag others in the same photo who will also bully you, leaving you and your profile exposed for everyone to join in on the bullying by leaving mean comments about you on the photo.
