Nowadays, bullying is getting more serious and more people choose the cyber-world as a place to bully others. There are different ways to bully others through the Internet such as using foul language, posting photos to make it ugly and laughable. On the Internet, there are some onlookers who support, encourage and give active response to the people who bully others. The reaction of onlookers will make the bullies think that they are right and they may continue to bully the weaker people or the people that the bullies don’t like. So the onlookers also encourage cyber-bullying and so the trend of cyber-bullying keeps increasing.
However, the truth is that the victims will be extremely poor and sad. Could the bullies feel the victim’s feelings after the victims got hurt? Of course not! Otherwise they will stop bullying immediately.
I think there are some side effects for both bullies and victims. The bullies may think that the cyber-bullying is a way to get excitement .They may get the sense of achievement too. On the other hand, victims may get hurt psychologically and they may have problems of communicating with others. They may also escape from school and so have bad academic performance.
Besides, some of the victims will become the bullies. When the victims are angry, they will bully others and so a vicious cycle is formed. While some of them are depressed, they may commit suicide.
To prevent these things from happening, the government, schools and family need to take actions. The government and the police need to fight against the cyber-bullying. Teachers and parents should teach children not to bully others .Moreover, if they get bullied, they should be brave and face it bravely.
I hope that people can use the cyber- world well and do not use it to hurt others. Then the cyber world will be a good place for people to explore.
