Incidents of bullying on
social media have been increased. Nowadays people are using nasty, evil words,
fights through chats or posting something personal about victims. According to
Khoffman (2016) research clarifies that more than 30% of teenagers have been
affected by cyberbullies (para. 2). Cyber-bullying includes hate messages or
bullied texts which could lead another person to suicide as well. The author
also says that cyber-bullying will be hard to stop in 2030 as it is becoming a
vast problem as the time elapses. She says, “once cyber-bullying is started,
hackers hurting others and got a reaction and keep on doing the same thing,
moreover they will continuously screenshot, repost the victims’ information
which will not help to stop cyber-bullying in 2030” (Khoffman, 2016, p.4).
Sometimes teens and pre-teens fall victim to cyber-bullying, they are tortured
online through messages, postings. Personal relationships are also affected
because of the enormous usage of social media such as communication between
parents and children is decreased and they do not teach them to monitor unusual
activities on their accounts. So, “children spend most of their time on social
media with the supervision or observation of their phones and continuity of
this will put their child in the worst situation” (Khoffman, 2016, p. 5).
