Cyber-Violence

For as long as I can remember, bullying and cyber violence have been occurring. No matter what site you visit someone is criticizing someone about the way they present themselves or the way that they act saying phrases such as "you're so ugly, get off the internet", or "no one would care if you disappeared". Obviously people would care if someone went missing, but the idea is that these online bullies break down an individual online to either make themselves feel better, or to publicly humiliate someone for a random reason.

I feel like some people dedicate their lives to bullying people online due to the constant random comments and really hurtful things people post on each others Instagram photos or peoples Youtube videos. Realize that these people that post hurtful comments rarely ever actually know the people who they insult, they just do it for their pure enjoyment.

I believe that no matter how hard we try, we will never actually stop bullying because someone out there will always get enjoyment from putting people down. This will be a never ending battle that we will never win. We can only offer support to those who are affected by these awful people. There are many services that offer support in schools, phone hotlines, and even friends offer support.
