    Cyberbullying
    As children reach their teenage years they can experience various difficulties
    from struggling to make friends to being the victim of bullying. Bullying used to be
    known as someone being repeatedly made fun of or being physically beat up.
    Within the last decade, the use of technology has sky rocketed. Unfortunately, with
    the rise of technology use especially among the rising generation bullying has
    transferred to the cyber world. Cyberbullying is a major problem throughout the
    country. The US Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Justice
    Statistics and Cyberbullying Research Center reported that 52% of students have
    reported being cyberbullied (Cyberbullying, 2013). In another study conducted by
    Pew Internet Research Center, Cable in the Classroom and Family Online Safety
    Institute found that in 2011 66% of students have witnessed someone being
    cyberbullied. Cyberbullying is more common than bullying at schools. Cyber-bullying
    is becoming one of the most common form of bullying amongst teenagers (Fousiani,
    2016). As cyber-bullying is being recognized as a problem there are ways to stop or
    reduce it. In a study of 584 teenagers it was found that when parents tried to
    control their children cyber-bullying was almost always a result. On the other hand,
    when parents supported their childrens new desire for independence cyber-bullying
    was decreased. This is just one study that has been done to find a way to decrease
    cyber bullying. As time goes on and more studies are done I am sure that more
    ways to stop cyber bullying will be discovered.
