Bullying is a major problem in today’s society. Teens feel much more open and free to do it, since the creation of the internet. Cyber bullying allows the bully to bully, in some cases without ever seeing the person. With the invention of social media like, Face Book and MySpace, it’s giving the bullying a whole new platform to work with. Instead of being face to face with only so many people to hear, it’s now out on the whole internet where everyone, can see it. There was a bullying case a while back that had a mother bully a student and that student thought it was a girl from school. With the internet, no one has to be exactly who they are.
