Christopher Davison's The Danger Of Cyberbullying And Bullying?

Throughout high school, many teenagers have at some point in time experienced cyberbullying or bullying. Cyberbullying can cause depression or anxiety in teens, as well as stress and lack of participation. It is used to lash out at others through electronics such as: phones, social media, computers, and tablets. People who are not good at communicating face to face can use this method of bullying, so they don’t have to see all the emotions involved. The legislature against bullying helps kids with their everyday lives, by lowering suicide rates, by helping parents be more involved with the students life, and by setting up boundaries on what privacy should look like. The anti-bullying legislature of 2013 in Kansas was made because of multiple

In the article “The Danger of Cyber Bullying” by Christopher Davison he quoted, “Baker and Helm, also found that being bullied was widely accepted among youth, showing that most students expect to be harassed in one form or another. The implication of these research studies is that society is beginning to not only accept, but expect electronic communication behaviors that are emotionally and physically damaging” (596).

That is overstepping many privacy boundaries such as, watching them at home, what if they are getting dressed? The whole school system could see it through the web camera, or if they were at the mall on their cellphones and the school is allowed to tap their every move. It 's an invasion of privacy that goes beyond the limits of the school grounds. Some of these schools are allowed to do it even when there is no suspicion of cyberbullying at all. Cyberbullying can be a dangerous thing, but allowing schools to look at your child 's every move can also become a dangerous thing, allowing the students to have no privacy whatsoever. For example, “in July 2014, Jackson County School District in North Carolina announced that it is paying a private company, Social Sentinel, $9,500 for one year to monitor the social media postings of all students in one of its high schools in order to uncover cyberbullying and other threats. The school district’s position is that when it comes to those kinds of threats, students have “no expectation of privacy” (Suski 68). Allowing the school district to uncover the
