Technology Provides New Forms of Bullying

Although bullying can take place anywhere technology has laid a foundation for it to occur in far greater depths. Before children had access to technology bullying would usually only take place in a face to face content, but now the child cannot escape such harassment anymore. Bullies are able to behave in such detrimental ways via technology that it has become an epidemic. It is unclear how many children are actually bullied not only in the united states but world wide. The serious problem with bullying today, is that these individuals are not able to cope in a healthy or stablemate way. Therefore, serious illness such as depression has skyrocketed consistently.
High tech bullying has been the result of direct and indirect harassment over a longer period of time. Cyber bullying has become on of the most malicious types of harassment in today's world. It has been noted that cyber bullying has a greater so called power over their victims when compared with physical bullying. Cyber bullying is taking place so much because children have direct access to these technological devices while lacking any direct supervision. Even though cyber bullying and so called traditional bullying can have the same side effects there have often been found many more illnesses because more children have access to and take part in bullying behind closed doors. Bullying is not going to cease to end until adult figurative as well as others personnel step in and take responsibility.
