Violated. Trapped. Afraid. These are the feelings of young victims of cyberbullying. Bullying has morphed into more than just face-to-face interactions. Now children cannot escape torture when they leave social situations. The torment follows them home and has transformed into words laced with hatred and animosity. Behind computer screens, oppressors can remain anonymous, creating fear of the unknown. Without names or identification, these online bullies can strike fear into the hearts of those being harassed. These types of bullies, via the Internet, bully children who choose to remain indifferent, children who have neither the desire nor the will to fight against them. These severely bullied children not only have to deal with a cruel social hierarchy in public, but they are now being attacked on all types of online media, from the comfort of their own homes. The Internet allows for anonymity and has created a breeding ground for cyberbullies to attack anyone they want. With the increasing dependence and use of technology around the world, cyberbullying is becoming a bigger problem than ever. The physical violence that once occurred in hallways and on playgrounds no longer exists. Time has transformed bullying into a phenomenon that occurs twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The pain these children experience, as a result of bullying on the web, is not a thing on which you can put an ice bag in. It is psychological suffering that affects them. The agony these children endure is just as real and can be even more excruciating to bear. As cyberbullying becomes a major problem for children, a solution must be found. Adults, educators, legislators and even children must prevent this type of problem. They need to understand that sometimes someone with more power than them should help solve the problem. By educating children to resist cyberbullying, they can help prevent cyberbullying on their own. In conclusion, cyberbullying is a problem that is growing exponentially with the expansion of today's technology. In order to put an end to the hatred launched against children via the Internet, preventive strategies must be put in place. Too many children are mentally and emotionally exhausted due to anonymous bullying on social media, text messages and emails. Ignoring this problem cannot continue. There are many promising preventative avenues to take when dealing with cyberbullying. More people need to be educated and aware of the prevention methods available to them, because the varieties of prevention methods are endless..
