Argument 1: Many victims of cyberbullying have committed suicide.
"Child advocates say a growing epidemic of 'cyberbullying' — the use
of computers, cell phones, social-networking sites and other
technology to threaten or humiliate others — is putting young people
at risk, sometimes with deadly consequences" (Billitteri, 2002, p.
385).
Argument 2: Cyberbullying is hard to avoid, because it is on the
internet for everyone to see and could be there forever.
"In recent years, not only have the number of SNS users dramatically
increased but also the amount of personal information that users
posted and shared online" (Chan, 2020, p. 583).
Argument 3: Cyberbullying is not only common for children in
elementary school and high school. Many college students have also
been victims of
cyberbullying.
"In this study, we made use of an exploratory case study research
design to understand the prevalence of cyberbullying in one of the
private universities (a privately-funded independent university)
within Nairobi, Kenya" (Ndiege, Okello & Wamuyu, 2020, p, 29).
