Social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and the new Sarahah can be fun but they also have hidden dangers. Those hidden dangers are known as "internet trolls." Internet trolls is an individual or a group of individuals who taunt and bully others behind a computer screen or phone. Cyberbullying someone may seem all fun and games in the beginning, but it can quickly turn sour. The person who is being targeted could be going through a hard time in their life, so when they are targeted, it can make that victim feel more helpless and powerless than they did before.
Take it from someone whose been through a lot in my personal life and on social media — as someone who also has depression-like symptoms and being bullied (especially over the internet). Since the things said never go away, it follows that person for the rest of their lives and if you're not careful, it can cause the targeted person to commit suicide.
As a way out, trust me, I've been in that position before. I've been bullied and cyberbullied so much, I've shut myself out from the rest of the world, The effects of cyberbullying can be dire, if you don't believe me just watch the made-for-TV movie "Cyberbully" starring Emily Osment. Trust me, it will definitely open your eyes to this cruel world we live in.
If you don't want to be responsible for an innocent soul's death, stop cyberbullying now.
