Gross, Doug. "Poll: More Than Half of Teens, Young Adults Harassed Online." CNN.com. CNN, 27 Sept. 2011. Web. 29 Sept. 2011.
This article talks about what a problem cyberbullying has become. The percentage of teens/ young adults said that they had experienced abuse through the web. In 2009 the percentage was about 6%. This survey finds that 56% of young adults have experienced cyberbullying. Doing the math, there was a frightening increase of 50% from 2009! The only way to stop cyberbullying is to get rid of the bullies. Only the youth of this country can do something about this. Many teens also said in the survey that if they saw cyberbullying going on, they would intervene. But, honestly, when it comes time for action, will they stick to it? Are they all talk and no action? Cyberbullying has led to suicides and even more depressed young adults. It will always be easier to say hurtful things when they are not directly talking to the individual.
There was a bias in this article towards stopping cyberbullying. I think that this could potentially be a good topic for my paper. I think I should be able to find information on it, but my only concern is, would it be repeated information?
