It is now in the hands of the executive and legislature to put in place a legislation that regulates cyber-bullying
We live in a fast-developing technological age where everything is available at the click of a button. The cyber world has opened up myriad opportunities and an endless ocean of information which has widened our knowledge base. However, there are always pros and cons for every development. Thus, with the increase in knowledge and connectivity comes the evil of cyber-bullying. With more and more children in the age group of 8 to 18 years going online to cope up with their studies, play games, or watch movies and with an increase in the number of social media sites, cyberbullying has become a dangerous activity affecting the young and the vulnerable.
It is rightly said, “Words scar, rumors destroy, and bullies kill”. Cyber-bullying is underhand bullying that is done by hiding behind a pretty screen. Cyber-bullies can hide behind a mask of anonymity online or they could also be friends or known acquaintances who do not need direct physical access to their victims to do unimaginable harm.
