It all started 25 years ago when the World Wide Web (WWW) was first created by Tim Berners-Lee. Tim created the www to share important information from the CERN to all around the world.

There are more social media that does the same activities such as Instagram, Twitter, Vine, and Tumblr. Those can be used to be something good. (Martinson) Some people say cyber bullying does not play a major role in teens life today. Stating that teens put themselves in that prediction or set themselves up to be bullied. Also saying that no one can make them do something he/she doesnt wants to do. No one put the knife to their neck or to their arm, or pull the trigger on their gun. (Parental Control) On the other hand look at how many deaths is caused by teens committing suicide from being cyber bullied.
