Cyberbullying is a pandemic which affects thousands of teens each year. Despite that fact, it isn’t impossible to stop its harmful effects in their tracks. The worst part about cyberbullying is the fact that kids who are indulging in damaging behaviors don’t realize the impact they have on their victims – in the same vein, victims have trouble speaking up against the torment that they’re going through. People like parents and teachers can take active steps against the problem, in order to contain it.
