The rise of cyber bullying
(Article taken from Reader’s Digest May08 Pg 115-119)

Reflection:
As years passed, technology is getting more and more advanced. Just like the advanced technology, bullying had been improved to cyber bullying. Cyber bullying can cause a lot of people to suicide, not only teenagers even adults are victims of cyber bullying. These cyber bullying uses computers to target their victims. As nowadays most of the people own at least one computer, the percentage of being a victim of cyber bullying is very high. I personally think that one should not believe anything what the cyber bullies said.

I think that the problem that makes cyber bully targets one is that people tends to spend lots of time on chat room. They often chat with people whose identity was unknown, thus making the percentage of being a victim a lot higher. Furthermore, nowadays people cannot cope with their work or studies without computer, adding on to the percentage.
After reading the article, I really felt sorry for the people that are mention in the article. They should not have believed in the words that the cyber bullies said. According to the article, a research had shown that one in every eight young people think that cyber bullying is even worse than physical bullying. In my opinion, I think that the other reason why people get targeted easier is because when people become victims, they will feel scared and didn’t dare to admit that they were bullied, thus being bullied continuously pushing them nearer and nearer to the edge of death, resulting in more innocent death. In order to stop this kind of innocent death, the people should not chat with people whom you are not sure of their identity and their personality. In addition, I think that there should be a brief lesson on how to tackle cyber bullying for everyone, especially young people like primary and secondary students.
