the 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. which have caused cases to increase through the years which have heavy impacted on children who are on social media 24/7.
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. so knowing that cyber building was a thing in the 1900s but kept spreading through new innovations such as computers and phones.
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”. which is really high the percent of the awareness but yet its still being develop and expanding people are being bullied through social media and taking their own life.
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. people believe to ignore those comments and to block the hatred but most of all to report that person which the developers Facebook could handle that situation.
In conclusion I have stated the affected that cyberbullying have increased the suicidal cases 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. but the important thing that cyberbullying was been a thing wasn’t causing problems in the 1900s but became a thing in 2007 when a case appeared of a teen being bullied on social media.
