Cyberbullying effects on the society.

Being targeted by a bully online can be tough for the victim. If it really affects the victim, they can go in depression, show aggressive behaviour, and perform poorly in schools and extra-curricular activities and outdoor activities as well. Cyberbullying also creates a fear in the mind of the victim, where they have to watch every step and they lose confidence in themselves.

In the larger context, the more cyberbullying there is and less prevention of it may cause the society to accept cyberbullying and consider it as normal. It may also open up larger paths to committing more crimes by the bully.

The picture above shows common cyberbullying, where a person is texting a girl, naming her as ‘Loser Gal’ and writing a hateful message.

On the other hand, in this era people are aware of Cyberbullying now more than ever. The more the people know about it the better they can prevent it and help the victim out. There are also more help lines and websites for those victims who have been affected by Cyberbullying.
