Dyamond Abrantes 11/9/18 English Watson Cyber-Bullying Effects Cyber-bullying among teenagers has be e n on the rise. The effects of bullying hits children harder. Some effects are developing insecurity issues, depression and becoming suicidal. When a child starts to bully another child there's usually a deeper reason, and that's for another child to feel the same as them. Most bullies are insecure, so hearing someone pick on how one looks, act, or thinks will have one questioning themselves; making them think they are the ones who are insecure. Another effect of cyber-bullying is depression; there's lots of studies that link depression with cyber-bullying. Getting mentally abused by hearing someone say hurtful things to you can have a long lasting effects on teenagers. Lastly, teens who commit suicide often suffer from depression. Its not a fact to say that bullying is a direct cause of suicide but it may be a factor that plays a part in it. Some children get to the point of being fed up with getting picked on , that one thinks the only option left is to do something to make it stop, to stop hurting . That last option is suicide. Some children do it to make the bully feel guilty for picking on them all that time, but they don't really see the big picture and long term effects of committing suicide. There are no positive effects to cyber-bullying. I think the most important topic is suicide, because once someone does that, there's no going back. That action affects many other people than just the bully and the victim. Children need to be careful with who they bully because it could be life changing for many.
