Your laugh must never be the reason of someone's pain

Cyber bullies use the internet for all of the wrong purposes. Cyber bullying is using the internet to harass, threaten or embarrass others on social media. Teenagers and young adults are common victim of cyber bullying. Rumors spread on the internet very quickly, the internet may also be anonymous if you choose, making it difficult to trace down the bully.
