FacebookTwitterTexting Instagram Skype Email Accounts

Now with increased technology, bullies are capable of contacting their victims 24/7. On social media sites they can see; photos, likes, interests, friends, sexual orientation and relationships. Bullies are able read all of that without even knowing you. Also they can remain anonymous. You can create false emails with false information, effortlessly so people cannot track you down.

New Technologies

Facebook and Twitter were amazing ideas. You can communicate with friends anytime of the day! But sadly, people abuse and misuse Facebook and Twitter to emotionally scar people. Because of access to critical and private information, they are able to taunt and mercilessly tease you. Why not delete your account? Because aid is available on these websites. But as you keep this, your messages inbox keeps filling up with messages of deep hatred.

Texting gives anyone an ability to communicate. The “mobile instant messaging” friends can say whatever in private… well, almost private.

Unfortunately people spread these seemly private messages to others. Lets say you promised not to tell anyone. But, then you tell someone. That someone promises not to tell anyone.

But they tell one person, and the process continues. Texting is more discreet but once you send a message, you can never “unsend” it

There’s no way to delete it from another person’s phone

"Bullying is a lot different now. Now they can get to you 24/7 through email and text and Facebook," he said. "There's no hiding from it. There's no safe place anymore."
