MEMORANDUM

TO: All Public School Staffs & Students

SUBJECT: CyberBullying & Effects It Has On High School Students 

It has come to my attention that bullying has become a serious problem, especially among teens. A few days ago a young girl committed suicide after she was allegedly bullied online by her peers at school and nobody knew about it; not even her parents. That why it is very important for us to find solutions for this issue to better help our kids.

CyberBullying is a form of bullying that happens online by the use of  technology, people are able to send messages, photos, to harass,embarrass, or target another individual. As the result, the bully-victims might have a hard time standing up for themselves and they may feel as if they are powerless and afraid to speak up  about it. Thus, people who are bullied are more likely to have depression, anxiety, feelings of loneliness, and suicide thoughts.

My recommendations are for those students who are being bullied is to get help and find an adult or close friend to talk too. They may actually help with the issue and help you deal with it. As for adults, they should become more aware about this issue and notice the signs of their kids being bully before it even  happens, so, they can actually to do something about it.
