Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology.
Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites.
(“What is cyberbullying? – SFTS”) Cyber bullying is not good because it can end people’s lives.
It needs to stop because about 4,400 people have died every year since they were bullied online and had no help from any adult or any other peer.
For People who have kids that are being bullied or has been bullied need to come together to sign something so the bullying can stop.
A way that can happen is if they make it where police officers can monitor any activity going on online so whenever the bullying occurs it can be nipped right in the bud and avoided so there will be less deaths of children.
Also, parents should have a sense on what these kids are doing online or what websites they’re on.
Or you can get a trusted adult to watch over the child’s social page to make sure nothing bad is happening.

I would like to say that the use of the internet in the right way, at the right time, for the right purpose gives you a lot of benefits in all aspects without opposite effects.
To identify and prevent potential threat on the internet for youth and adolescents, they need to understand the nature of the internet.
The internet can have more negative effects on people than good ones and there should be more resources or talked about in conversations on how we can protect the people on the internet to use freely to express themselves.
Let’s make the internet a safe place.
