Cyber bullying can be very harmful to teenagers and adolescents. It can cause anxiety, depression, and even suicide. To worsen the problem, they can never disappear in this digital age when items are circulating on the Internet. In the future the negative acts also resurface to revive the impact of cyber bullying.

According to dosomething.org

  • Nearly 43% of kids have been bullied online. 1 in 4 has had it happen more than once.
  • Bullying victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider committing suicide.

If you do some research, you can find thousands of cases if not more about a teen or a young adult being bullied or worse, committed suicide.

For example, a well-known and sad story about Amanda Todd. 

She had been approached online by a male stranger when she was in 12 years old. He’d convinced to do some stuff while on a webcam. That one instance led to a succession of cyberbullying and the threat of exposure. He contacted her on Facebook to get her to take part in a live sex show on camera. If she didn’t, he’d share the photo of her breasts with her friends.

When Amanda refused to give in, the stranger shared the photo online for the world to see. Soon enough, bullies contacted Amanda. Despite moving to another city, she couldn’t escape the cyberbullying.

She initially tried to kill herself by drinking bleach, but she was saved. Her second attempt was unfortunately successful, but she did leave a video to tell the full story of what led to this point. She was just 15 years old at the time.

That video was seen by a lot of people (13 million) which brought more awareness to the danger of cyberbullying.
