Throughout time and history bullying has been an issue throughout society. However, over the last decade in the generation of new media and with the invention of the internet, bullying has taken on new forms. This form is called cyberbullying. This phenomena has allowed bullies to torment their victims in seconds through social networking outlets such as twitter, Facebook, and other platforms. Cyberbullying is "an action of harming or harassing via information technology networks"(wikipedia). It is evident that many suicides today and bullying can be attributed to the negative use of social networking in order to bully others. According to a harris study up to 78% of high school students experience some form of cyberbullying. Throughout my project I will explain and illustrate the effects of cyberbullying through the use of new media.
