Cyber bullying is a problem not only for the young but adults as well. It's a shame that a simple click on the internet can destroy someones life. People of all ages are harassed, made fun of, false information is given about them, horrible pictures are doctored and then posted on websites such as facebook for all to see. Most people are afraid to ask for help until it's too late, something horrible happens or a person is so distraught that they take their own life. Bullying is out there and tolerated to an extent, and some people just ignore it. When my kids were in school and I was a member of the PTA, I helped to bring awareness to the schools administration. We did our researched and reached out to all parents and students to partake in a non-bully program. It shouldn't be tolerated in any situation. Laws have also been put in place to hold these bullies accountable for their actions.
