Cyberbullying is being cruel to others by sending or posting harmful material using a cell phone or the internet. Posting harmfull material on Facebook or creating a website about somebody that contains harmfull material is an example of cyberbullying.
I found the article about a girl from Florida very saddening. Cyberbullying is a terrible thing that causes many suicides among teenagers. Those kids from middle school don't know what consequences a cyberbullying can have. This girl from Florida was just another victim Cyberbullying has caused her to take such measures. She left home for school leaving everything behind. She wrote goodbyes to her friends and then she jumped from a high abandoned cement plant. Young people such her take all the insults very personally until they can't deal with it anymore and taking their own lives. No teenager should take away their life away because of some dumb kids' insults. But sadly this is reality where people have gone mad. It is either cyberbullying or shooting that takes away lives of the innocent. I think it will never end even with all the interventions. It is like a drug war. It is constantly fought but the bad is still out there. It is just the world we live in.
