This image clearly shows an example of cyber bullying. Someone has sent someone else a text saying that they hate them. This is happening more and more since technology has started to become a big part of people’s lives. The majority of the people doing cyber bullying are teenagers. Cyber bullying can happen on a cell phone or the computer. There are many different forms of cyber bullying. Sometimes it is just someone in a fight and they will get over it and other times it is more serious. Some people actually threaten others lives over the Internet.

“Teenager, Adults, child reading books and using modern technology” Online Image. Istockphoto. 14 April 2010.http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-10364887-teenagers-adults-child-reading-books-and-using-modern-technology.php&usg

In this picture teenagers are using modern technology. They are also working on homework. However it seems that they are distracted by all the technology that is around them. None of the teenagers in this picture are actually having a conversation with a person in this picture instead they are talking on their phones to someone or texting someone. The teenagers do not seem very focused on what is really in front of them like the book in front of the girl. She is concerned with her phone and something that the boy is holding. This supports what I am trying to say because technology is becoming a big part of teenager’s life and in some cases it is hurting them and not helping them.
