As technology advances bullies have found new ways to harass their victims. There are several new ways to bully people such as e-mail, instant messaging, and sending pictures over the internet.They can also hack and change the person's facebook or myspace to have embarrassing photos. It has become the favorite form of bullying because its difficult to find out who is doing it. They can do it with almost no one finding out that they did it. Picture can reach a global audience instead of just the school or office that the victim works at.
As always there are a few ways that you can avoid cyber bullies. The first tip is to not post anything that might come back to haunt you. Anything you post can and will be linked back to you so if you would feel uncomfortable showing the picture to your family then don't post it. The second is treat others as you would want to be treated. Last is to report to the appropriate authorities so they can help you out.
I have seen people get fired from their jobs and have their lives ruined from posting stupid photos on the web. Cyberbullies do exist and there are a lot more then you think on the web. I try not to post my picture on forms and I also don't post comments that might make people really angry. It does suck that these bullies have found new ways to ruin people's lives and because of the internet it can be sent to everyone you know so it can have some really bad results.
