Life long outcomes of cyber bullying
Every human in this world is connected to social media some how. But not all humans are affected the same. Some have the luck of benefiting from online sources. Others are either attacked or attacking others. These types of attacks cause life long outcomes. Outcomes that can end horribly either to themselves or others.

Depression

Administrators in the Iredell-Statesville School System in Central North Carolina conducted a survey. According to this survey victims of cyber bullying has a higher chance of depression. What can we do to change this?

Tell victims of cyber bullying that the things they read aren’t true.

Listen and be supportive to victims when they reach out.

Save evidence if evidence is provided.

Do not go after the bully yourself.

Provide hotline numbers to victims.

Among other options.

Learning Disabilities

Children that deal with cyber bullying suffer from learning disabilities. Statistics show that:

← That shows not all students finish school because of bullying. These children could have done so much more with their lives. Some of them could have been the next presidents of the world. Some could have found cures to diseases. Some could have invented the next best thing to make life easier. But because they were victims of bullying they don’t get the education that others do. Others being the person or people that bullied them. We need to make all students feel as they all have an equal right to education. That as protectors we need to be their to listen, and stop bullying before it gets worst.

School Shootings

Now let’s look at cyber bullying in a different view. Victims of cyber bullying are not the only ones that get affected all the time. Sometimes these victims go out and effects big groups of people. They hurt others to show others the “pain” that they have felt.

This year marks the 20th anniversary from one of the worst school shootings in history

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were victims of bullying. April 20th 1999 was the day that Eric and Dylan retaliate against their bullies. In the most horrible way ever. Shooting openly at their peers and teachers at their high school. Directly targeting their bullies. The deaths of 13 people were due to the hurt of 2 students. Do you believe we could have prevented that?

Help!

I believe we could stop bullying. I believe we just need to open our ears and eyes and pay attention more to certain signs. Signs like:

Isolation

Depression

Social media Content

Temper problems within students.

Attitude towards certain groups of people.

etc.

Within those signs we need to help the ones that seek the help. As well as the ones that are danger to themselves.

Lets not forget the bullies themselves though.
