Opinions

I think that cyber bullying and the need for internet safety is increasing with the

advancement of technology and the constant use of it. However, I think that most teenagers

and people in general need to be reminded that the internet can also be a very harmful place.

Throughout the development of our world there is always going to be this issue of

bullies on the internet and safety or even privacy. As these issues are increasing more ways to prevent the problem and awareness are being raised. People need to be aware of

what it is (Internet Safety and Cyber Bullying), and ways to prevent or solve it.
