If you go online, to a place where children gather or to a school today, there is a 90% chance of witnessing some type of bullying. As times have changed over the years, the types of bullying have also changed. It's no longer just children who call each other by name. He became more violent, physically and verbally. Over the years the bullying has branched out to the worst; from in-person to online, it has become too dangerous. Before technology became a big part of everyone's lives, bullying only happened in person. Outside of school, people didn't have to worry about bullying. It wasn't as big of a deal as it is today. In fact, the only places they had to worry about bullies were the places where all the kids spent their free time at school. School was the main place where this happened. Today bullies are everywhere. Today it has become more dangerous than in the past. Name calling and being shoved into your locker was all that really happened, but now there are fights, name calling, harassment, etc. Times have changed radically. Things aren't as simple as they used to be. Technology has helped our world become advanced, but it has also made some things easier that shouldn't be. Electronics have given people new ways to torment each other outside of school and away from the public eye. Cyberbullying is defined as the use of electronic communication to intimidate a person. The internet has never been considered a safe place to start, especially with the invention of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. It seems like everyone has one or the other, which makes it easy for someone to find another person and harass them online. Cell phones are making it easier......half of paper......ng."
