Evidence Based Posting Cyberbullying

Cyber bullying among teens
The technology that is available today has given many teens the ability to bully other teens more easily than having to do it in person. It takes away from the confrontation factor and gives an the bully an advantage that they can cause the harm and not be seen doing it. The article that I read talked about how teens bully using electronic communication tools. Over 54% of the students that were surveyed said that they had been victims of cyber bullying. I believe that technology is making it easier for teens to take action and not feel accountable for what they are really doing.
