Cyber Bullying

Smith, L. (2013, April 14). Social media - the dark side. Retrieved from http://mikiakiak.blogspot.com/2013/04/why-cyberbullying.html

The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of mankind it has lead everyone to share knowledge and allows everyone to connect with each other. But also where there is good, there is bad, where there is light, there is darkness. Social Media is a tool used to connect with others such as, friends, family and acquaintances. Sadly some people use it to ruin lives, although sometimes it doesn't happen intentionally it happens none the less. Cyber bullying is one of those intentional and unintentional ways of ruining someone's life. Many of those who cyber bully might think "Oh it's online so there's no harm to it." Wrong! At first, there is no physical harm but mentally; psychologically it hurts the intended victim. After the psychological pain there are physical pains in which might lead to suicide.The link that I posted above is the link to another classmates blog, who talks about the dark side of social media. It's good to know both extremes of social media; it has it's good points and it's bad points.
