I am researching cyberbullying and how it has had serious effects on the schools. I think that it is important to research it because it is a fairly new concept because of all the new technology. Schools are having a hard time trying to stop it because it is not necessarily happening on school grounds and they won’t know about it until it is too late. Recently many kids have committed suicide because they are being bullying relentlessly online and they can’t deal with it anymore.

            I am interested in learning more about this topic because of how popular it has become, because people can do it anonymously without ever facing the person whom they are bullying. They will keep going because they don’t even realize how much they are hurting the person, it is turning more popular in the schools because they can do it and usually get away with it because of it being anonymous.

            This question is very important because many young adults have been killing themselves over being bullied relentlessly, and they feel like it will never end.  Being that cyberbullying is newer many schools don’t know how to deal with it or punish it because of it happening off of school ground they can’t do anything until the student comes to them about it. The school officials can go to the police after they find out about it and track it down to find out who is doing it, but they often find out after it is too late.
