Recommended: The effects of cyberbullying in youth

" The local government should play a major role in monitoring Internet content. The main part of local government that needs to be monitoring the internet is the school system. If school systems monitored internet content more actively, then cyber bullying and many other issues could be prevented. Firstly, I believe the number one thing on the internet that should be closely monitored are social media websites. Social media makes it easy for teens to bully or harass each other, without actually having to confront each other in person. Cyber bullying can have just as great of an effect on an individual as being bullied in school, because even more of their witness the bullying. If the local government mainly school systems would take …show more content…

Teens are more likely to bully their peers online, because they know they will most likely not face any consequences. Now personally in my opinion I don’t believe that not facing extreme consequences is okay in any way. No teen should feel obligated to end their own life just to escape cyber bullying. Personally I have experienced cyber bullying and when I took the comments to a school official, they told me that their hands were tied and they couldn’t do any thing because the comments were made online, not on school grounds. I was able to overcome cyber bullying because I had a great support system, but lets think about the teens that don’t. Many don’t have great family and friends reminding them daily of how great they are that they mean something to so many people. So, then in order to escape the pain and torment of cyber bullying they do the only thing they think is logical at the time, they take their own life. No one should have to come to that situation. It is assuring for teens to know that their local government is monitoring social media websites, to prevent cyber

    In the United States of America, practically everybody can agree on the importance of the youth and their education. The youth and children of today are the future leaders of tomorrow. Although education, undoubtedly, is beneficial to America’s youth, there are some experiences, such as bullying, that negatively affect and stick with these youth for the rest of their lives. Certain children find an outlet for their frustrations through bullying others. In the past, these actions could be better controlled because they were limited to face-to-face interactions. However, due to the recent booms in technology over recent years, cell phones, social media sites, group chats, and other forms of technology have allowed bullying to expand into the Internet. This new form of abuse is known as cyber- bullying. According to the Online Merriam-Webster Dictionary, cyber-bullying is, “the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature.” This can be done through cell phones, computers, and tablets.

    People can post mean and untrue things about other people or even harass them. This is really hard on people and it's hard to get away from it because as soon as something gets posted, it is on there forever and anyone can see. This would be difficult to control if schools and local police did not have the ability to monitor it.
