Social media is a big outlet for cyberbullying among teenagers. Cyberbullies can use the mask of the Internet to taunt others with no real interaction. This leaves those on the other side of the screen to feel the same effects as a real-life event with less effort put in by the bully. Social media is marketed as an escape, yet cyberbully victims can’t avoid harassment on it. In addition, bullies have access to the internet all day, leading to persistent behavior.
