Cyber Bullying

People do not realize that cyber bullying is a huge deal. Sometimes, people do not even notice that they are doing it. People fail to realize how much cyber bullying affects people. From 2003 to 2010, 56 percent of teens who were cyber bullied committed suicide. From January 2011 through April 2012, 44 percent committed suicide. I have been a victim of cyber bullying. Surprisingly, I was bullied by someone I used to call my "best friend." It is not a great feeling at all. It is embarrassing and very hurtful. It makes you feel like a "nobody" and it lowers your self-esteem . So, why do people still continue to do it? People still cyber-bully others to make themselves feel good. It helps boost their self esteem by lowering someone else's. It makes them feel good about themselves when in reality, they look very foolish. It definitely does not make them look "cool." They seem to think that making fun of someone and getting people to laugh along with them makes them look good. It is ridiculous to believe that someone would do so much just to feel good about themselves. Sometimes, they do not like to see people happier than them, so they have to ruin their happiness by hurting and embarrassing them. It is very true when people say "misery loves company."
