• It's difficult to restrict access to the internet because it's necessary in today's day and age.
• "When parents see a problem, it’s sometimes tempting to try to ban children from using social media. But a ban is difficult to enforce, given the reliance on the internet for education." (Healy)
  
• How do you ban something that is used for education? Even though the internet is necessary for education, social media isn't. But how do you restrict access to social media when it's connected via internet?
• "It may also be counter-productive. Most 14- to 17-year-olds report that the internet is very important to them, saying it improves their wellbeing and relationships." (Healy)
  
• Would it be more harmful to keep access to social media or restrict access to social media? If people are claiming that they believe that the internet (social media) is important to them, wouldn't you be harming them more by taking away something they believe to be precious?
• "A recent review of international research confirms that participation in social media can increase teenagers’ feelings of self-esteem, support, and fitting in with a group. Children relate to each other through social media, for good and for bad." (Healy)
  
• It is true that social media is a way for people to stay connected, People could confide in other people anonymously, meaning that they could share things about themselves without actually exposing themselves. This allowed people to share things about themselves that no one else knows while also relieving a burden that they carry if they don't share this "secret".
• Most of the studies done on cyberbullying and it's correlation to health related issues are done in isolation.
  
• "A recent review of international research confirms that participation in social media can increase teenagers’ feelings of self-esteem, support, and fitting in with a group. Children relate to each other through social media, for good and for bad." (Olweus)
  
• Meaning that the group that they're researching is more concentrated than what it would be in the real world. The author is arguing that the issues of cyberbullying may be over exaggerated because the sample that they are working with may be bias.
  
• It is unclear whether the causes of depression are due to regular bullying or cyberbullying.
• The victims of one or the other both exhibit the same correlation to health issues.
• "This is because the great majority of cyberbullied children and youth are also bullied in traditional ways, as documented above. How do we try to find out what the "true" effects of cyberbullying are, independent of possible effects of traditional bullying?" (Olweus)
• Since it's unclear which of the two is the actual cause of health problems, the highlighted cause will lead to a funneling of resources. However, since you don't know which is the actually cause this could be a waste of resources.
• "Second, such a picture is likely to result in an unfortunate shift in the focus of anti-bullying work if digital bullying is seen as the key bullying problem in the schools. This would probably also result in funnelling a lot of resources in a "wrong" direction while traditional bullying—which is clearly the most prevalent and most serious problem—would be correspondingly downgraded." (Olweus)
