Cyberbullying in near Future







        Cyber bullying is one of the main concerns in the present generation. Cyber bullying negatively influences on all ages, races and gender of people. Everyday news of innocent victims become headlines of the newspapers. It seems that judgement, meanness, nasty posts, abusive language are never ending periods (Hoffman, 2016, para.1). People are aware that when they mean to other people and intentionally hurt their sentiments with mental and physical torture. So, why it won’t stop? Why people keep doing this hurtful act of spoiling others life with abusive behaviours (Hoffman, 2016, para.2). The author Hoffman asked these questions to the readers and predicts that is appears that cyber bullying will not stop in the near future. According to recent research, almost 30% of teens have been victimised   due to bullies. It does not mean that adults were excluded in this study. Adults were also bullied on some form of cyberbullying such as dislike messages through instant messaging or social media sites (Hoffman, 2016, para.3).
 As mentioned in the article the definition and sequences of the cyber bullying could be different for each individual. some might take it as humour, or some might trigger to do suicide (Hoffman, 2016, para.4).  it is very hard to halt cyber bullying. If cyberbully receives appreciation from their peers, they kept on doing that hurtful bullies as encouraged to do. In the same way, if victim surrender to that unacceptable behaviours, it signals to the cyberbully to continue their misbehaviour. It is very important to raise voice for yourself and stood against all these bullies (Hoffman, 2016, para.5). In near future, if we want to stop bullies, we have to act immediately to shut down this unwanted and disrespectful behaviour. Parents and other Signiant’s in life can teach children to raise their voice against this cybercrime (Hoffman, 2016, para.10). It is expected that by 2030, cyberbullying will continue to hurt people as these are future predictions and it could be change if one take initiative to stop bullies. We should teach children to be kid to others and ask for help from their adults when needed (Hoffman, 2016, para.11).
