them. During most of the time that he or she is not working, the bully makes sure that every
time the victim gets online they are already online. The effects of the actions of
cyber bullying causes even more harm when go viral. In this case, not only the small community
of a high school is involved in the bullying but hundreds and hundreds of people online from all
corners of the world. After the bullying case goes viral, the victim can do little to carb or avoid
it. The fact that the bully can hide behind a fake page and name makes them feel more powerful
and they feel as though they cannot be punished for their actions (Sameer, and Patchin 37).
Technology is evolving to the point that these bullies are hard to keep track of and get away with
no punishment. Even if the bullies are known, there is not much anyone can do unless there is
solid proof to prove their accusations.

whenever the targeted victim is threatened constantly making him or her always stressed up and

also end up facing even more difficult situation (Kowalski). The effects of feeling increasingly
uncomfortable following cyber bullying may include low self-esteem, depression, stress, loss of
sleep, and even loss of appetite.
In the extreme situations of cyber bullying, the person my end up committing suicide as
they increasingly gain the feeling of losing their confidence. When the confidence of the victim
is fully compromised, the worst would then happen especially when the issue remains
unaddressed for a long time. The loss of confidence among the victim also makes it even more
difficult to disclose the situation to people who could provide positive help. These cases are
always increasing due to the increasing number of social media users every day.
Whenever someone hurts another person's feelings, it is always advisable to just log off.
However, it is not such easy since whatever has been posted online is often seen by
anyone. Various people have been trying to end the issue of bullying to their children in general
in vein. The magnitude of the problem has even been increased the advent of the internet. Since
the internet came to existence, the issue is increasingly getting out of hand. There
are various forms of cyber bullying and the effects of cyber bullying. The victims of cyber
bullying also differ and suffer various fates (Kraft and Wang 527). Essentially, the worst cases of
cyber bullying occur to people who lack the resources to fight back or lack the knowledge of
what could actually be happening. In this regard, many children and teenagers tend to be the
most affected of all age groups. Most of them are affected due to their innocence and the fact that

bullies initiate their evil activities for various reasons.

One of the major reasons is that they want to create an impression of being powerful on the
platform. In this regard, they achieve a sense of satisfaction by being successful in their bullying

activities. Their power, according to them, is depicted when their victims suffer as they
expected. Another among the various reasons is that they often think that they would achieve
more popularity by bullying other people on their social media platforms. When they attack more
victims on the platform, they create their own popularity through creating stories that further
victimizes the affected users. This move is often assumed to trigger more traffic that would then
grand them a larger number of followers (Kraft and Wang 531). In addition, cyber bullies act as
they do as an attempt to get rid of their low self-esteem. Through their achievements of bullying
others and seeing them suffer, they gain some high level of self-esteem. They see themselves as
great and conquerors. What they hardly understand is that someone else is paying for their evil
actions.

Cyber bullying perpetuators fail to understand they are causing both social and emotional

harm and sometime financial losses to those people they are bullying. The worst bit of the
situation is that the victims are often defenseless; hence, they cannot fight back. Besides, the
practice could be spread to other people who may adopt it to harm even more people (Lacy). Just
as most of the victims are young and defenseless children and teens, the bullies are often teens as
well, but they mostly do it because they learned it from someone else or as an act of revenge.

Typically, the impacts of cyber bullying can be overlooked because it is psychological and
not physical. However, cyber bullying has its ways of affecting the lives of people in the real
world. The victim feels like there is no escape from the bully. The victim goes to school and their
peers are talking about it, which will cause them to use their phone so they can see what is being
said about them. Sometimes the situation is escalated because the victim tries to stand up to the
bully. Cyber bullying is harsh, the bullies get to say what they most likely would not have the
courage to say in person, and they can be as mean and nasty as they want (Slonje, Smith, and
Frisén). The effects that cyber bullying can have are negative body image, grades dropping, no
confidence, violence, and suicidal thoughts or actions.
Sometimes cyber bullying can be taken to the extreme and has become the cause of death

of several teenagers (Lacy). Cyber bullying has been known to cause depression, sometimes the
victim loses interest in life, and they end up committing suicide to escape the constant bullying.
