Many people are afraid of the internet at the moment. Because social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow anonymity and accessibility to anyone with an opinion, bullying has never been easier.
You can define social media bullying as anything from posting embarrassing photos on Snapchat without the consent of friends who have given you their Snapcode to sending insulting messages about someone's appearance through text message or inbox in response to images they post online; cyberstalking someone to the point where they fear leaving home for their own safety– these all constitute “bullying” according to one definition but there are much more damaging types like sexual assault which happens when perpetrators use technology as part of an act against another person.
Using social networking sites to disparage another person or group is considered social media bullying.
Through new technologies such as internet forums, text messages, and email, bullies have been able to harass their victims from all over the world without having any physical contact.
We have seen a rise in social media bullying among our youth in recent years. As a result of young people posting inappropriate things on the internet, other students can see them, leading to more embarrassment and humiliation than ever before.
