Cyberbullying is on the rise, especially among teens and preteens, as technology makes it easier to harass and target others online. The impersonal nature of online communication can allow bullying to occur accidentally or anonymously. Victims of cyberbullying are more likely to experience depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, and in some cases suicidal thoughts. While cyberbullying is increasingly common, many victims are reluctant to tell adults about their experiences. As more youth gain access to technology, experts predict the problem of cyberbullying will continue to grow unless steps are taken to promote online safety and prevent online aggression.
