Cyber Bullying: The new school beat down

Cyber-bullying is a terrible and unfortunate phenomenon that is linked to not only Social Networking media, but other forms of communication as well. It s interesting to note, however, that most of these attacks should be regarded as passive-aggressive and nothing life threatening, and when that does happen, it is a rare occasion that usually will take long to reconcile. Albeit physical contact is rare, the psychological problems linked to those users are still present and may take for some time to heal. such attacks include but not limited to publicizing personal information to other users, threatening messages, posting embarrassing content that a user may have, and rumor spreading. These prickly and downright inhumane acts are not only effective, but the consequences that can follow may be very dire. Yes, just when you thought that the techniques of the archaic schoolyard bullying were just that, bullies have crafted yet another diabolical method for harming other users.
