For Further Research

If you are interested in learning more about cyberbullying, here are some of the articles or website that have helped me learn more on the subject. First, we have “StopBulling.gov” which is an official website of the United States that educates you about what cyberbullying is, what are the sings, and how you can prevent and help those you love. The second article that I wanted to recommend is the "Pew ResearchCenter" which discusses in depth the percentage of children who have received some kind of bullying growing up. The third web page that I want to recommend is “The Bark Blog for Connected families”, which sole responsibility is to help children across America who are affected by cyberbullying, sexual predators, suicide and more. The reason why I recommend this article, it is because they have helped me become more knowledgeable about cyberbullying, what effects it has, who is more at risk and how I can prevent it. Furthermore, it has also help me understand what society is doing in order to help those who are being victimize online.
