問題詳情

[C] It seems that bullying takes place most often in school. Nowadays, social networks like Facebook have made it very easy for bullies to prey on their targets. This kind of bullying is called “cyberbullying.”Compared with traditional bullying, it is almost impossible for cyberbullying victims to take refuge from bullying at home. In addition, the number of bullies can keep rising up in a very short period, since all the bullies need to do is type a few insulting words via their computers or cellphones. The victims usually feel that they are insulted in front of numerous people online, and that nobody understands how painful it is. In recent years, cyberbullying through Facebook or other websites is becoming more common and resulting in tragedies. The case of Phoebe Prince, a victim of cyberbullying, just highlights how dangerous cyberbullying can be.In 2010, Phoebe’s family moved from Ireland to a small town in Massachusetts, the United States. Sadly, she soon became the target of a number of bullies at her school. Some said that she was bullied because of her Irish accent, but others considered that the main reason was that Phoebe dated a handsome school football player. The bullies posted abusive messages on her Facebook wall, sent her humiliating text messages, and teased her in school. After several months of this, fifteen-year-old Phoebe broke down and hanged herself in her room. Sadly, her bullies continued to post cruel comments to her Facebook wall, even after her death.Although the anti-bullying laws were set up in Massachusetts after Phoebe’s death, there has been a rash of teen suicides around the world as a result of Facebook bullies. Bullying should not be tolerable. Every person deserves to live in an environment free from humiliation and criticism. However, it will take not only the efforts of parents or teachers, but also human rights education for everyone in society.
