Some of researcher I have done about cyberbullying and how people such as children and adults are affected by it. I have sighted some source about the topic some are about people appearances such how they look and obesity people. cyberbullying has created a lot of suicidal cases have risen. which mean more people are taken their own life because of cyberbullying occurring online platform but mostly on face book the first case Megan Meier in 2007 was one of the earliest documents to expand on cyberbullying.
for the first question when did cyberbullying became a thing? in the first source ” victims perceptions of traditional and cyberbullying , and the psychosocial correlates of their victimization”. In the article it talks about what cyberbullying does to a person include increased levels of depression, anxiety and psychosomatic symptoms, in addition to often severe physical harm and even suicide. in the article it stated that cyberbullying existed in the 1900s but expand when computer became a thing.
the second question which platform did cyberbullying started on? the platform was facebook in 2007 Megan Meier died due to harassment on facebook. three cases appeared to be bullied on face book those were the first document cases of cyberbullying. the united states has a percent of 85% of awareness of concept of cyberbullying and the laws to combat cyberbullying are 30% which shows that bullying might not stop. cyberbullying has a long term affect on people having ”increased risk of anxiety, depression, distress and lower general well -being”.
third question how to stop cyberbullying? from a third source is talking about what is cyberbullying and how to stop it. Cyberbullying is bullying with the use of digital technologies. It can take place on social media, messaging platforms, gaming platforms and mobile phones. by stopping it by informing an adult person and reporting it.
in conclusion I have stated the affected that cyberbullying have increased the case have reached 800,000 people die worldwide each year from suicidal. because of bullying people such adults and children but children are mostly the targets.
