Cyberbullying
By: Ivana Escobar
 What is
cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is the use of
electronic communication to
bully a person, usually by
sending messages of an
intimidating or threatening
nature.
● 43 percent of teens reported being
cyberbullied (National Crime Prevention
Council)

● 64 percent cyberbully victims reported a

negative impact on both:
○ Their feelings of safety and
○ Ability to learn at school

()
Thesis Statement
There should be a law preventing cyberbullying because
teenage victims
● Are committing suicide
● Are using drugs
● Have poor academic performances
Cyberbullying Leads to Suicide
● Cyberbullied victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely
to consider suicide than non-victims.
● At least half of suicides among young people are related
to cyberbullying or bullying in general.
Teenagers start using drugs
● Stress can increase the person’s risk of chronic diseases, including
heart diseases, obesity, and diabetes. If cyberbullying continues, the
victim may show disinterest in life which will lead him or her to
practice a sedentary life.
● Substance abuse may include alcohol and drugs being used as an
“escape” for the person being cyberbullied.
 Teenagers have poor academic performance

● The effects of cyberbullying can negatively affect the performance of

the victim. They tend to be less participative and sociable which leads
to poor grades.
● Some drop out of extracurricular activities, they may not speak up in
class, they may not ask questions due to fear, they may even isolate
themselves at school, which can cause the issue to worsen
Effects of Cyberbullying
● Anxiety
● Depression
● Difficulty sleeping
● Substance abuse
● Decreased performance in
school, absenteeism, and
dropping out of school
● Increased physical symptoms
