The power of the Internet is limitless, there are numerous ways to connect with people and explore the web. However, it isn't all that safe at times, especially for young children who are exposed to cyber bullying. According to the article on StopBullying.gov, cyber bullying is bullying that occurs over the Internet, usually on social networking and media sites. It can range from private message threats to public posts of embarrassing pictures which are open to the public. Sadly, about 16% of high school students have to deal with the immense pressure of this type of bullying because it is very easy for the bullying to spread out of control. It is important to take control of the Internet and be smart about the people you expose yourself too.
