Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is when a person uses electronic communication to bully a person. Usually this tends to happen on Social medias, for instance the big one now a days like Facebook. The person that is bullying usually sends threating or intimidating messages to the other person. I read the article, "Girl’s Suicide Points to Rise in Apps Used by Cyberbullies". Throughout the article it talks about how a young seventh grade girl from Miami committed suicide due to cyberbullying. It all had started when she dated a boy and from there on 15 middle schooled boys would send her messages through an app called "KIK" telling to kills herself and what so not. This clearly is a heads up to parents to pay more attention to their kids since now a days young kids are on the internet at a young age and  most don't know what they might be doing and the consequences from it.
