Rise of Cyber Bullying

i agree that the number of cyber bullying have increase over the years and many have become the victim of cyber bullying.
and the number of cases of victim themselves due to cyber bullying has also increase over the years with more and more people killing themselves due to cyber bullying.
some people may think that it is fun bullying people online and did it just for fun but they do not know what harm they may cause to people.
due to that, more people are bullying people online which cause the increases in number of victim.
and most of the victim have very quiet personality that cause them to keep quiet when they are bullied either in real life or online, thus, when they could not take it anymore, they will commit suicide.
with most of the students and people using internet now, everyone turn to cyber bullying in different ways like blogger or even in friendster.
people will tend to blog bad things about people in their blog when they do not like the person or even when the people offend him in a small way.
most of the cases of cyber bullying occurs on blogs or even online chatting whereby people will tagged on blog that you are so stupid and ugly or even scold you directly on chatting room online.

A case of students that kill himself due to cyber bullying is Sam Leeson, a 13 year old student from Tredworth, Gloucestershire, hanged himself in his bedroom apparently after suffering months of bullying online.
Bebo, a teenage social network allows people to target online user like myspace which gives people more chances to bully friends or even people they do not know online.
this show how easy is it for people to be targeted and used for cyber bullying.

i think that people should stop cyber bullying as they do not know what it will cause and more attention should be given to cyber bullying so as to prevent those victim from hurting themselves when they have no one else to turn to.
with the number of cases increasing, it is important to prevent more cases of it as it will be worst if there are more people who fall into the hands of cyber bullying.
and i think that people should pay more attention to those children who are usually quietier as they are they more common target that online bully will chose.
and most important, we must let the students know what harm they will cause to other people due to online bullying so as to solve the roots of the problem by decreasing the number of people who use cyber bullying.
