2. 2. Social Media and bullying Todays technology of the internet has led to a terrifying rate of Cyber Bullying. Currently Cyber Bullying is still legal in most but not all cases and has led to countless suicides. If not made completely illegal then the rate of suicide will climb. There are substantial claims of statistics, links and facts of Cyberbullying and suicide that need to be addressed.
3. 3. Bullying and the Internet Cyber bullying has become very prevalent in todays society of the internet and hateful social media. When taken too far it can lead its victim to suicide and personal suffering. And whats worse is when it creeps from online into real life homicide. This is when the bully starts taking actions offline and into your real life.
4. 4. Statistics Bullying statistics for 2010 to now currently show that one in seven kids in grades K-12 is either that of a bully or a victim of some sort of bullying, mainly today is Cyber bullying because it can be anonymous .
5. 5. Facebook Safety What should be the best times of your life is turned into wanting to commit suicide. It should not be this way but the vulnerability of social media has made it easy to target people. And when online and not in the classroom it makes it that more difficult for teachers to detect.
6. 6. How I can help with Cyber Bullying From reading many countless stories online of personal struggles with Cyber bullying, I thought there is a way I could one day help put an end to it.

7. 7. These statistics and rates need to be of concern to decrease the amount of teen suicides. If there were more laws passed a bully might think twice before harassing another out of spite or jealousy.
8. 8. Todays online world of social media makes it easy and more vulnerable for a bully to attack its prey or victim. These laws are not taking away from freedom of speech if there is harm done and an act of violence.
9. 9. I think with more social media monitoring there will in fact be less teenage suicide. And parents can worry less about their children being in harms way of malicious and hateful social media. Parents have enough to be stressed and worried about. So if there was a more proactive approach with monitoring bullying, parents could be more at ease.
